Anyway, just planning ahead, when I get ready to replace brake pads on my 2011 Ram, what am I in for? Do I need any special tools to do this job? Any tips/tricks to look out for? AND...what is the best replacement set out there? Any good upgrades available? Any advise appreciated, thank you!

If the 2011 isn't much different than the 2007 it's a very straight forward job...at least on the back brakes. The only problem we ran into was the parts store gave him the wrong pads.
