    Default Need Rear Brake Shoes - Recommendations?

    It's time to redo my rear brakes - thought I'd ask what other owners recommend in brands and type of shoes. My truck is my daily driver and I tow a 6500lb boat&trailer 20 or so times a year.

    I have always used the top grade that NAPA sells.

    Auto Zone offers good stuff.

    Any way you go, stay away from the cheap stuff, and you should be fine.

    The rear brakes don't take a rear beating anyway, as the discs up front do most of the work. 60/40 %
