Not yet, but I will be in the next 6 months or year. I had some Powerstop Z series on a previous truck and I really liked them. Put about 60k miles with no issues.

I would like to do a brake upgrade disks and rotors only not calipers, as I still want to use the 18" wheels.

many forum members recommend the power stop and R1

If you aren't changing the size of the rotors, or going with 4+ piston calipers, changing rotors and pads isn't really an "upgrade", that's just normal maintenance.

If you know an upgrade that can still allow 18” wheels fitment, I’m very interested.

There isn't one because you are limited to 18" wheels already due to brake size. And some aftermarket 18" wheels don't even fit. You can change pads and rotors all day long, but neither will increase the surface area of the rotors or pads, which is what is really needed for better stopping.

But just think. 10 years ago, 15" wheels were still common and brakes were sized accordingly. So really our current brakes are way better than before.

just saw a guy who put some wildwood brakes and has 17 inch rims … a bit of modification but it was done

This company makes a kit for our trucks. Was thinking about upgrading to them but my brakes are still good at 80k, so I'm waiting till I need to replace. Email them if you have any questions. They will send you a wheel fitment PDF so you can check if the kit will clear your wheels.
