Just curious. Obviously I can take a wheel off and measure but it's easier to ask as I am at work!
Was thinking of upgrading brakes to EBC rotors and pads. Wasn't sure if they are larger than stock rotors or not.
If they are the same size, and won't necessarily help braking, any recommendations on an aftermarket brake setup that will definitely stop the truck better???

I'm pretty sure the fronts are 13" and the rears are 13.6".

The EBC rotors and better pads will help with heat dissipation and reduce brake fade, but they won't necessarily stop you and faster/shorter. But reducing brake fade will help if you tow.

One thing to think about if you get a big brake kit is most of them require at least a 20" wheel, so you would lose the ability to use your stock spare tire.
