Erika, I changed all four corners on our D-Max to Hawk pads and rotors. Huge difference in stopping power compared to OEM. I had to have the rears done because they were just about metal on metal and the D-Max performance center I have service done at said you'll go through rears quicker than fronts and these big trucks. Has to do with the proportioning valve (front to back), anyway so I was for spending money having the rears done I might as well spend a little more and have the fronts done while it's up in the air.
My OEM brakes only lasted about 35K without an exhaust brake (which did help them t get to 35K when in was added) but now that I have a Banks Speedbrake and the Hawk pads and rotors I can finely brake with confidence. It wasn't cheap but after several close calls I needed to rethink the brakes.
I would see if you can get more opinions or reviews on the PowerStop brakes because I've never heard of them and wouldn't be willing to part with $800 to $1000 for everything without some more info. I've had a long history with Hawk and Performance Friction and they can be trusted.
