LOL.. I'm pretty sure they were the HPS pads, I'm not even sure. It's easy, just pick up some caliper spray paint. Tape everything off and spray away. I did three coats on each caliper waiting 10 minutes between coats.

The Camburgs are $500 shipped if you talk to the right guy and tell him you're a member of F150Online. I believe it's Jerry who you need to talk to.

No problem, I'm 19 now. But seriously, I work a photography/computer job at a real estate company and on the side I'm doing landscaping and tractor work.

Definitely, these have a lot more travel. It's smoother on the road as well but MUCH smoother offroad. Plus I don't have a spacer anymore. Yes, I did do the front and rear. Powerslot rotors and Hawk pads on all four corners.

Over the years I have started countless threads like this with various trucks...what I've learned as soon as you say that, something new comes out and you can't wait to go get one.
