30,000 miles isn't bad for a set of brakes. the rears shouldn't need
changing for at least 2 front changes, and probably 3 changes. because of
physics, the front will take 80% of the burden of stopping the truck. this
is normal.

Is there any way of adjusting the brake bias? (I think that's what it is
called.) It seems like my fronts grip way too much compared to the rear. I
just burned through a set of rotors and they only had 30,000 miles on them,
but the rear pads didn't even need changing.

I would expect a little more wear on the front compared to the rear, but I
thought this seemed out of whack.

Thanks,
