I replaced my fronts with Raybestos rotors and semi ceramic pads up front at 73k, off rockauto. Dirt cheap. The truck stops on a dime for nearly 6k lbs, and the pads are virtually dust free. Factory pads had the wheels filthy in a couple days, now I’ll go a thousand miles between washings (like 2 weeks) and not see any dust discoloration. The low temp pad squeal is annoying AF however, but I guess that’s the price to pay for cleanliness. 

The low temp squeal/squeak was eradicated by spraying a CRC rotor squeal eliminator (I forget the name, but it was in a blue can) directly on the rotor. Truck stops the same, but now does so quietly. All contact points had previously been lubed, my squeal was paid-rotor contact. Now I’m 100% satisfied with the Raybestos stuff.
