Well, I am not bitching about my brakes anymore. I just replaced the front pads with some EBC Green stuff, 6000 series brake pads. Between that and the Apex Stainless steel brake lines, the truck stops on a dime. I can't wait till the rear pads show up. Should be next week sometime. The EBC pads come with some type of break in coating. Feels like ROUGH sand paper. You can feel em grind on the rotors, now all the little grooves that were in my rotors are pretty much gone, and I only drove about a mile.
Brake upgrades to date:
Front and rear Apex stainless steel lines
EBC green stuff 6000 pads (front for now, rear on the way)
Magnum cross drilled rotors.
Problem with just having the front, it tends to dive, even with the front ranchos at 9 and the rears at 5. I will update once I replace the rears to see if the diving reduces.
I give two thumbs up for the EBCs and the Apex lines. The apex lines are like 70 bucks shipped, and if you email em, they will custom make you a set, they have blue red black and clear. I got the red, and plus 2" in length ,same price. They are pretty nice, although they put the sliding portion of the line that clips in, backwards. no biggie, I just ziptied it in, but they said they would replace them for free, I just wasn't willing to wait.

If not, look for update on the Trooper RS thread, lift, ranchos, CB, stereo, ...and a slew of other things.
