I looked over my old build thread and could only find reference to the OEM ones at the time of rotor install. If I had to guess, I'd say the 6000's. Not the low end but not the top of the line either.

You seem underwhelmed....
Did you tinker with the proportioning?

LOL! No, not really. Just tired, haha. I am actually very happy with them so far. I feel the truck actually drives better, but that could just be in my head. 
I also rebuilt the axle (passenger side, did the driver side about 1k miles ago due to a birf needing replaced) while I was doing all of this, so that probably contributes to the overall better feel.

I have the powerstop pads and rotors on my 95 and I love them. I work at 4Wheel Parts in OKC and we sell A LOT of these. My experience is that my cruiser stops in about half the distance it did before. I will eventually do these on the rear as they are awesome.

I finished up the rears last night, including rebuilding the axle with seals, bearings, etc. The rear axle is way easier than the front. I had to replace a few of the axle/hub studs, but they actually came out pretty easily. New Power Stop rotors and pads for the rear, with new/refurb OEM calipers.

Is there something wrong with me for thinking that's dead sexy?
What brand are your calipers? And where did you get them?
I'm going to do the same as you with my 80; 4 new rotors, calipers and pads.
Any re-packing needed in replacing the front rotors? I'm about to do my brakes and now I'm convinced in getting all powerstop rotors and greenstuff pads.
You'll need to take the outer hub apart to replace the rotors. Perfect time to repack the bearings.
Are powerstop rotors better than brake performance dimpled / slotted rotors?

Anyone has any input?
I have tried powerstops and cryo'd powerslots. Both are outstanding. The cryo'd powerslots will last 3-4Xs longer, but are twice as expensive. Both will enable the use of high performance semi metallic or metallic pads without grooving the rotors or the presence of noise.
Just did the rears on my 80. From my research the best price is from www.thebrakeguys.com
Just received the front rotors, they should be going on in the next week
For those of you wondering, here are the part numbers for easy ordering (where ever that may be from)
Rears K1156
Fronts K1154

IMO dimpled are no good, cross drilled and chamfered are the only way to go.
We've experienced great results with 360 performance drilled and slotted rotors on our land cruisers.

How much were they?
Just a heads up, this guy is selling brand new open-box front kits (K1154) for $114 shipped! Just ordered a set. Cheapest I've seen. Now I just need the rear
