Thumbs up Time for new pads?

I have 58,000 on my 01' f350 crew. I pull a large fifth wheel and while I am not maxed out on my GVWR on my axles I am at 20,000 CVGWR at the scales. I am planning to have the lines bled and new fluid put in before towing season. Should I have the pads replaced with severe duty? The rotors seem good (no pulsing anyway). Good brands? Also thanks to everyone for the info on ULSD, I will be putting Diesel Kleen in my tank soon and also getting rid of that K&N filter!





2001 F350 Banks exhaust & exhaust brake, Pace Edwards roll top, stainless tubular grill, stainless fender trim, door handles.

It wont hurt, I had 70K on mine when I replaced them and they still had a little life left. I used the NAPA severe Duty pads and next time I am swapping to Hawk Ceramics and Powerslot Cryoed rotors

Brakes are on my list before spring as well, been looking into a few brands, but the Power Slots And Hawk Pads seem to be the favs here

I am using the NAPA ceramics and am very happy, especially without the brake dust on the front wheels.
