Slotted rotors and ceramic pads for sure. If calipers have not been done recently do the whole thing while you are at it or murphies law you will be swapping out calipers a month down the road. Do a brake fluid flush while you are at it as well as inspect the rears. This way you can rotate the tires while they are all off the truck.

unknown at this time.
okay in case you all have not noticed all brake fluid is synthetic. it is all man made and not derived from some petroleum source like oil or fuel is. the synthetic in the description is just a marketing ploy. use dot 3 or compatible only.
