GEN 2 Brake Rotor and Pad Replacments for 2019 Raptor.

Well it's time for my Raptor to have the Brake Pads and Rotors to be replaced. Im planning on doing this myself and ordering the parts off of Rockauto.com. Since my Raptor is sitting at just under 100K miles I was going to do the front and rear at the same time. Has anyone else done this maintenance to their Raptor and do you have any tips or recommendations?

Thanks.

Here is what I use. Lasted at least 80K

Centric 120.65119 Premium Disc Brake Rotor Front​

Centric Premium 120.65135 Automotive Replacement Rear Brake Rotor​

StopTech 309.14140 Sport Brake Pads with Shims and Hardware Front

Centric 106.16020 Centric- PosiQuiet Extended Wear​

I'm going to take a quote here from the Posi-Quiet brake pads: "When installing your new upgraded front brake pads on your Ford F-150, please keep in mind that there is an inner pad (that installs with the backing plate of the brake pad against the caliper pistions) and an outer brake pad (installs on the outer side of the brake rotor). It is very common for this installation mistake to be made by professional technicians and DIY'ers alike. In the image below you can see the difference between the inner and outer brake pads. The inner pads are the pads shown with the "round humps" at the top of the backing plate. Those round tabs correspond to the caliper pistons. The most common mistake is to put both of the pads with those tabs on one side with the other pads on the other. This will cause binding of the brake pad between the caliper bracket and outer brake pad that will ruin both the pad and the rotor very quickly. It can also produce an uneven and unreliable braking performance from your braking system."

I don't mean to be patronizing - I mixed this up because I didn't know and hopefully it saves you some time and annoyance. This forum is a great place. Image referenced in the quote can be found in the link I included above.

I did OEM pads/rotors, I have been happy with them.

Make sure you get the OEM Motorcraft part number that would be used for warranty work vs the aftermarket motorcraft. They are different. I had great luck on the OEM factory ones so thats why I made sure. Not sure how long the others last, that would be up to you.

Unless you are looking for something else performance wise.

Im not looking for an upgrade in brake performance. Stock replacement is just fine for the driving I do. I will take a look for the OEM pads/rotors part numbers and see how it compares to the others on Rock Auto. In a way Im trying to save some money by doing this on my own versus a dealer or shop doing it. I've done brake jobs on my other past cars and trucks, so I think the Raptor should not be too different. as far as I can tell the brakes are about the same if not the same brakes on a normal F150.

I did mine a couple months ago and went with Brembo pads on OEM rotors.

i would think you can get the OEM from rock auto, just have to figure out the part numbers. I probably have them somewhere on some paperwork if you cant find them.

If you can find the right Part Numbers that would be helpful!

These are dated part numbers from Dec 21 but im sure its the same or close

Rotor Assemblies
JL3Z-1125-C
FL3Z-2C026-E

Pads
FL1Z-2001-E
FL3Z-2200-B

I replaced mine with the Powerstop #CRK8026 geomet coated rotors kit about a year ago. I think they look pretty nice.
