Any recommendation on brakes for a 2010 DC 5.7L

So my next project is to update the brakes on my Double Cab, 5.7L V8. Brakes were done in the past, but I currently have just shy of 140K and when I changed out the wheels recently, my inspection of the pads revealed they were worn almost down to the audible sensor and the rotors measured .049. I am also getting a slight pulsating in the steering wheel when braking.

I used a set of Powerbrake Z36s on my last truck and was happy with them, however I do plan to tow a small 5th wheel and was wondering if I am best sticking with OEM rotors and pads (my Tundra does have the factory towing package)? Are there better options available?

 

I overhauled my whole braking system, i just used Carquest platinum pads and rotors, so far so good, stops great, no noise, and doesn't shake. I got new calipers too, one of the piston was seized on each caliper.

 

Whoa...that after pic looks clean...did u get it undercoated as well?

 

I just wirebrushed the frame and hit it with some undercoating spray to protect against the NE winters.

 

Stoptech rotors - blanks or slotted, and EBC Yellow Stuff pads. Take the bed-in procedure seriously and you'll be left with a strong set of brakes that dont stink and fade like the stockers. I went with a more aggressive pad setup last time around, carbotech actually makes a street/track pad setup thats hugely aggressive but the pads killed a set of rotors in less than 10k miles.

 

DBA Survival Series T3 rotors
Hawk pads

 

Went with oem Genuine Toyota rotors. First set lasted 98k miles. Good enough to go with again. Good luck. D
