the rears seem to wear out quicker from all the road debris, especially if you live up north. with all the crap they put on the roads. i mud once in a while too so that decreased the life of my rotors. here are some pics

I went with slotted front and rear rotors and performance pads from Praise Dyno, and my truck stops awesome...nice improvement over stock. Dust isn't an issue and they're completely quiet (knock on wood)

Anyone know what the measurement for the rear rotors are suppose to be? I know it's stamped on the rear of the rotor, but I don't want to take it off until I'm ready to do my brakes. I mic'ed my rears and they came out to be around 3/4 of an inch. Is that too thin? I know the front rotors are thicker cause they do most of the braking.

ya. that was off the rear. it was chewed up pretty bad. severly rusted. only half of the brake pad was in contact with the rotor. notice the one pad has zero life left. the new one is next to it. the new pad came with the SSBC
