changing Front Brake Pads For Towing TT
Anyone have suggestions on the best set of replacement brake pads for towing? I have a 1999 Dodge 1500 5.9l 4x4 quad cab truck pulling a 2011 Cherokee 26bh grey wolf...

I bought EBC slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads for the front and the same slotted rotors and green stuff for the rear of my suburban. It is big, heavy and has 33" tires. I needed better brakes because the factory stuff was warped.
Shop around, got mine on ebay for not much more than a full set of factory replacements. Best money I ever spent. I tow in the mountains and have not (since the replacement) experienced any situation that I never felt in full control.
Are they NECESSARY? No, but I know my vehicle and how it performs and felt that I wanted better braking in the case that the trailer brakes ever went out especially towing in the mountains. Been there with my 5er and Dodge CTD, 7-way cable somehow came unplugged and I didn't realize it until I was headed down a hill and needed to stop......good thing I had upgraded my brakes......
