Default New rotors, need opinions

Standard or slotted/crossdrilled? Not sure how the slotted will work after I'm done playing in the mud.

^^^ +1 on that. You could always do the 2500 caliper upgrade along with 2500 pads.

So 2500 caliper + pads + rotor, anything else with that? Do I want fries (any adtl. parts) with that?

Need the Light duty 2500 calipers.

Fries are up to you. Are you eating a healthy diet? If so, then skip the fries.

Should be all ya need. Another vote here for good quality standard rotors as well.

You can't use the 2500 rotors as they are 8 bolt. I did have to use the 2500 pads to match up with the 2500 calipers, I can't remember why 100% but I think the pads are bigger. I did this two years ago and well I just don't remember. Chilli and fries are cool

If you can't upgrade to the larger rotor is the pads and caliper worth it?
