I’m interested as my stock PW breaks leave some to be desired. I’ll likely wait to wear out the stockers then upgrade to something more substantial.

I don't really have any good photos as I installed them a long time ago and no longer have my 4th gen truck, but for the cost I was very impressed with Brake Motive kit on Ebay. Slotted and dimpled rotors and ceramic pads. Their rotors are as heavy (or even a little heavier) than OEM and the ceramic pads performed great with virtually no dust. I noticed an immediate improvement over stock. Ran these for 2-3 years before trading my truck in recently. I did a lot of research and for the money this was the best upgrade I could find.

I upgraded all 4 corners to EBC stage 3 slotted/dimpled rotors with EBC green stuff pads.

They have been a day and night difference over stock and I always highly recommend them and will continue to use them.
Nick@gotexhaust is a vendor on here and great to deal with. He has great pricing as well and can get you usually the best deals around.

He likes to recommend the R1 concept drilled rotors with posi-quiet pads. And a lot of people on these forums use them too with good results

I've only completed the front so far, mostly because I was there replacing wheel hubs. The Moog were as big an improvement over the stock as I could have hoped for, smooth and quiet.

The brakes - I wanted EBC but at double the price I figured I'd go with powerstop z36 extreme. A couple haters, the rest were five star. A break in procedure that is super easy and fast. Throttle up and pound the brake five times and then again five times, kinda the way I drive any way. Lol

They are a **** ton better than stock, and coated to resist rust.(I fkn hate rust on my truck and my tools) We'll see about the brake dust but for now, no comparison.

Ceramic Pads, with slotted & drilled Rotors - $200 per front corner. ***** caliper spray job (over spray included at no extra charge!) - $7 per corner premium primer and color.
Moog front hub assembly - $320 per corner

I got Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors with their Z36 pads. It is a seat in the pants improvement over the competent stockers. $212 for the fronts with the $15 rebate. Summit Racing.

I did the z36 drill/ slotted power stop on my 14 ram crew cab 2wd/ 5.7 and my wife’s 14 larime quad cab 2wd/ 3.6. We do a lot of towing and both needed breaks around 70k. We are both at 130k and have had no issues at with them.
