probably could go bigger.. i don't see why not to go with slotted and drilled rotors, if there's one area bulking up won't hurt you it's the brakes.

STAY AWAY FROM POWERSLOT!!!!! I had a TERRIBLE experience with them. Long story short: The rotors they sent me were warped from the factory. We used a micrometer and found this. I fought with the dealer and with Powerslot directly. I paid out the *** to send those heavy things back to powerslot. Powerslot said they were fine I paid the shipping back. They were still wrong and shook the entire truck violently when breaking from even 30mph. Shipped them back and fought with powerslot more. Wanted a total refund. They basically told be to F-off and they kept my rotors and my money...... STAY AWAY FROM POWERSLOT!!!

I have the NAPA high performance, slotted and drilled rotors with no problems after 22,000 miles. The are great performance rotors. I used their high performance pads also. Doing the rears shortly.

I agree, stay away from Powerslot. I have them on our 99 Ram and they suck. They warped shortly after installation. Piece of junk.

I just put on a set of Powerslot rotors (non cryo) and they work awesome. I went with Hawk pads, we'll see how long it holds up. The original Dodge rotors warped @ 8,000, they replaced all 4 corners, warped again @ 16,000 miles, I then put Bendix rotors and pads on (front & rear), they warped at 32,000. So this time, I put the Powerslots and Hawk pads on the front only. We'll see what happens.


EDIT: I also want to add, that several peeps have told me that warped rotors can be caused if you don't torque wheels to spec and don't tighten evenly.

why not get the srt-10 rotors because they would be up to the task sense it is even more of a performance truck going with the stock rotors you wouldn't have to worry about warping or go aftermarket and have even better stopping distance if u can find a good rotors. now i dont know if the rotors would fit your axles but if they do that would be cool

went ahead and got the napa ones on the way.should be here tuesday.100$ apiece for the rotors. just have to see if they are worth it.hopefully they will last a little longer before they warp.

what is your break in procedure?

thanks for all of your input.
