I'm getting ready to replace brake pads on my 2011 Ram, what does anyone recommend and suggest? Any suggestions appreciated, thank you!
Looking for the best possible quality!

I put Autozone (Duralast?) ceramics on my Magnum without doing a thing (to include resurfacing/replacing rotors). They were quiet with zero dust. No shimmy. No shake. Just smooth braking. I can't say that the techniques in the above article won't buy you a couple feet (I can't say that it will either), but I do my best to not come that close to hitting stuff/people.

I drive the vehicle up a long hill(1/2 mile) and make sure I have good brake petal on the way up. Then I turn around and make at least 3 hard stops from 40 mph down to about 5mph hard and do it 3 times and the shoes and pads are bedded. IMO
