Quick question on brakes and the F150

I believe i have a standard brake system on my F150 xlt w/5.4 since the rear code on the axle is a b6 and was 9.75w/ 3.73 gears and the limited slip. So does that mean i have a light duty break system. Just need to know need to order up my new rotors and pads today.

I think you're refering to the "heavy payload package". If so, then that has nada to do with your axle code.

The easiest way to determine if you have the payload package is to count your lug nuts.
6 lugs = standard payload
7 lugs = heavy payload package

If I'm completely wrong about your inquiry, then I apologize.

You're welcome.

And YES, from what I've heard, 7 lug wheels OEM or aftermarket are tricky to find.
