disc pad thickness?

Hey y'all,
I'm getting ready to replace the front pads on my 2002 F-350 but have a question.
I bought some wagner pads as replacements but to me they don't look as meaty as what I thought they were when the truck was new.
I measured 3/8" of material. Does this sound right? I was expecting more like 1/2" at least. Anyone know if this sounds right?

My Hawk SD Fleet pads have about 1/2" of pad material. (Fronts and Rears)

I just did the front on my F350 with OEM parts and now it is time for the rear end, mine is a dually and I am wondering how hard this is going to be versus the front end which took me about 4hours for both sides. Any ideas as to time to do the job and whether or not I should OEM it again for the rear. I work at Michelin so Ford gives me a 20% supplier discount which helps.


Thanks
