Brake Rotor question

Does anyone have a recommendation for a heavy duty brake rotors for my 2000 F250? I pull a 10,000 lb trailer and most of my stops are at highway speed and I am slamming on the brakes due to some moron doing something stupid, but that is another story. My drums now are warped and I want to put some good one on.

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Steve

I'm assuming you're talking about Rotors here. I just put Power Slot Cryo'ed rotors on mine with Hawk LTS pads. Good combination and you can get 'em from Ultimate Truck Accessories for a decent price. I have a 2wd and they're a bit more pricey than the 4wd counterpart. I paid right at $450 for the rotors & pads for the front. Here's what they look like:

Those are nice but pricy for sure I wanted to go with them but didnt have time. I just put the NAPA HD rotor's and pads on mine for less than $200 they have always worked for me.

Yeah, I nearly waited too long too. It takes a week to get the cryo done, so if you're in a hurry, you'll have to skip the cryo process. They definitely make a difference though! But you HAVE to break them in properly. If you don't, you'll end up with not enough stopping power. I almost found out the hard way.
