Cost of brake job?
Wheel-size doesn't matter. If the shop is telling you it does, kindly ask them to carefully back it out of their bay and leave as quickly as you can.
If you're doing it yourself, front disc brake pads shouldn't run you more than $30-$40, max, depending on where you live.
I've got a few primers and How-To articles on how to do brake jobs on my site, GearHeadDiva

I've done mine all around, did work myself. Front pads: Akebono-$70 from rockauto. Front rotors- Duralast $100 for the pair. Rear pads- Duralast Gold-$40 Rear Rotors- Duralast $70 for the pair. real happy with my set-up so far. the Akebonos are super low dust on the front.

Diva Welcome to FTE & the 04-08 forum.
I thought this was interesting, & don't want to start a pissing contest, I investigated and came up with this, Buy Wearever Gold Brake Pads - Front GMKD 1083 at Advance Auto Parts
While I am new to this year series Ford truck, I am not new to Wearever brake parts. I have used them for years. I'm sure one can find better & more expensive, you can have that. d281833 asked "what's the cost to do brakes on a 2007"?
Appears to me the first response is in line. just saying

At 90K miles (currently 92K) I installed Wagner Thermo-Quiets on the front.The rotors were in great shape so I didn't even have them turned.My truck stops so much better and no brake dust.Cost,about $55,including tax.BTW,my back brake pads still have about 60% of the pads left.
