brake upgrade
It's time to start replacing my brake pads on my 04 F150 S/C FX4, but I would like to upgrade since I tow a trailer in the summer. I don't want to go with a big brake upgrade because I will still run the 17" rims in the winter. I'm looking for an upgrade in rotors as well as pads. Any sugestions on systems that seem to work?

I replaced front and rear pads with Hawk LTS pads.They do have better stopping abilities
and I'm satisfied with them.Still using the original rotors and caliphers.

What is a decent U-brake out there that I should be looking at?
Thanks,

For HP "Street Pads" for your /04 F150 check out http://www.ctbrakes.com/
The real deal... no hype here.
I'm using their 1521 HP pads (F+R) on my /06 F150, along with Motorcraft HD Dot3 brake fuild (good to 500F)
Currently test running Xtreme Stop drilled and slotted rotors (F+R) as well.
