I contacted EBC thanks to Jason for that, I explaned my problem by email and they recomended the green stuff over the yellow stuff. I bought them threw my local Orlieys along with a new caliber and rotor. They had the caliber and rotor in stock and had to order the pads for me and thell be in Friday and thats when Ill put them on but I reused the pads that I had just because I dont have money to shell out like that to drive for two days, I have to have my truck for work tomorrow and friday but Ill be working within 20 miles from home for once, that never happens!!!! Pads were $109 seems kinda steep but if it works its worth every penny
I wonder where Clays been usually hes got a parts list, trying to take all my money again........

From EBC's website: "Yellowstuff performance range is a high friction aramid fiber pad, totally resistant to brake rotor vibration, and easy on rotors."

A slight hijack here - is there any reason I can't put extended SS brake lines on my stock height truck? I plan to put a lift on in the future (between 4" and 8") but I want to upgrade the lines now...I figure I can just coil and zip tie lines up until I get a lift?
Also sources for SS lines since I haven't seen any listed:

Ford stainless steel and rubber extended brake lines and hoses

When I have brake problems or one of the work trucks has brake problems I normally replace everything. Because if one side goes out the other isn't far behind and anything bad along the way can ruin the new parts. When I do brakes I only want to have to deal with bleeding and rust one time.
Taking care of a small fleet of trucks will teach you these things. Do it all the first time or you'll be doing it over and over again later on.

I see no reason why you couldn't, it's just hydraulics. Make sure they won't get pinched or bound up and you should be golden. I would defiantly give Clay a call before you buy something, I'm running his and they sure are nice! Here's a picture of my front's:

Update: I put EBCs green stuff pads on the front and I could tell a difference the first time I stepped on the brake. The braking is now more like it should feel. Im going to see how they do for a couple of weeks and then buy them for the rears. Just in the first 100 miles I would already recommend them. I did have a problem installing them though, the little nipples on the piston side of the caliber I had to grind off flush with the shim to get them to fit. After that it was easy
