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!

Ceramic get good reviews. You might do a bed in procedure if you want to go that far

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.

Save your rotors and put organic or semi metallic pads on.

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

I used Performance Friction Carbon Metallic on my diesel with good results and will probably use them on my new Ram when it needs brakes.
