Default Brake pad choices for B2500?

I have a '95 B2500 (5.9L) - I can't really find any upgraded brake pads from the typical manufacturers (Hawk, Performance friction, etc).

Do any of the vans use the same brakes as their pickup equivalents? Seems bizarre that Dodge would use different brakes on the two.

I've used Prostop semi-metalic pads on a Dodge Caravan before. These were purchased at Pepboys a few years back.

Bendix has a "Fleet Version" pad that I use on my B150 3.9L with excellent performance and longevity. Plus, these pads have a lifetime warranty so when they get to the wear limit I bring them back to Advance Auto for a new set.

you might try summit racing and look for powerstop rotors & pads. did this upgrade to my 2000 ram and it was night & day in braking performance.
