I have looked for a little while and can't find a general answer. I feel like my pads need to be replaced. I purchased the truck at 60,000 and currently it has 102,000. Prior to I don't know if the pads were changed. Just feels like the brakes are not what they used to be. After the Bilsteins and 34's obviously that puts a strain, but that was 20,000 miles ago. I pulled my front right wheel off to check what was remaining on the pad. I can see roughly 1/4" on the middle groove on the outboard pad and a little less on the inner. Total thickness I did not measure. Also checked the rear, outside pad through the rim and that was roughly 1/2" total. What do you guys and gals think?

 

If you are not sure, just replace them. I have a 2011 ram 1500 sport crew and used the powerstop extreme set-up. The rear all in was $350ish, about $600 cheaper than the stealership! Holding up well since last summer. Cheers.

 

Replace them.

 

With that many miles I would also consider new rotors.

 

It depends. If it's a large % of highway miles you can prob just swap another pair of pads on as long as the rotors are smooth. Lots of stop and go city driving and prob do rotors also. It doesn't boil down to just miles. It's what kind of miles.
