Well, I started getting the old "brake shake" on the front end of my 13 F150.. Got 54,000 miles out of the OEM brakes..So, found these Power Stop K6268-36 Front & Rear Z36 Truck and Tow Brake Kit on Amazon and decided to swap them out..Then, I felt that the OEM shocks were **** too, so got some Bilstein 5100 series shocks for the front and rear and this is what they look like. :)Both setups are much better than stock so far.. Can't wait to tow with the new brake/shock setup!Anyway, will report the towing results when I get them.Mitch

I ran those shocks and brakes on my 2011, the shocks were a huge upgrade and are still on the truck now, the brakes after on winter though really corroded and went to hell. I got a year and a half out of those rotors and pads before I had to change them for my Father in law( he bought the truck in Kate 2013 from me).

That’s too pretty to put the wheel back on. How does the ride compare with the Bilsteins?

I considered those rotors of my Tundra a few years back but after much reading decided against the cross drilled ones. Apparently they don't stand up to heavy use and warp easily. Cross drilling weakens the rotor and is not good for heavy use.My coworker got them and reports were true. They were noisy and rough and warped in a matter of months. In less than a year they were swapped out. Hope you have better results.

Just slotted is fine. Drilled and slotted are iffy. Rock auto probably would have been less expensive too. Not a fan of Bilstein, overpriced. I run Skyjacker monotube Black Max. Made here and less costly.Time will tell for you but I prefer phosphoric coated rotors and calipers. They don't rust up.

Curious why you're running 5100's? Those are for 0-?" lift. I always thought the 4600's were the same.
