Default Brake pads

Alrighty my fellow HD truckers... It is time for new brake pads on "the reaper" yea just came up with a nickname for my truck.. just you diablo and bruce now... what are a good set of brake pads for these heavy trucks... I do some towing as well plus having 35's i figured brake pads are kind of important... So any suggestions would be great thanks!

these are some of the best pads I've ever came across. With a little research I also found Hawk is used by many fleet trucks. That said a lot to me as I hate having to change pads all the time and with the weight these trucks have, it will happen with cheap pads. Where I live and drive.... the brakes are used 70% of the time and the fuel peddle the rest. I put a set on my work van 2 yrs ago and they're still in good shape. My van weighs more than my truck too !

I could care less about stopping power or how long they last. I just want to keep the brake dust off the crome.
