I installed HPS Hawk Pads on my truck this past summer. With a GOOD brake flush (meaning you take the time to get all the air out of the system and burn in the pads correctly) you will notice a big difference.
You could also look into Powerslot rotor if you want to upgrade them as well.
I get my stuff from Clay of Riffraff. Great prices and best customer service. He is local to this forum so always easy to reach.

That's what I was thinking. My 550 will stop my trailer whether the trailer brakes work or not.
I found that out a couple of years ago when the plug had some corrosion and I didn't know that the trailer brakes were not working.
Coming down a long hill to a turn and it wasn't quite stopping like it's usual self, but nothing really alarming until I made the corner and the smell of hot brakes hit my nose.
Pulled over at the next wide spot in the road to inspect and found that out.
Cleaned the contacts and on my way I went.
Dual piston calipers x4 wheels.
