You'll be able to use your standard 1500 rotors. That's what I'm running on mine.

And the 86mm piston calipers, were those the 8800 GVW calipers, and will they bolt up to my brackets and fit my rotors? Which pads should I get with those or does that matter?

Yes, the 86mm calipers are the 8800 GVW calipers. They will bolt up to your brackets and fit your rotors. Just get the pads for the 8800 GVW calipers. That's the same set up I upgraded my 1500 to. I like my brakes quite a bit!
