Default difficulty sourcing brake pads(of all things)

i have 1-1/2 thick rotors on my 4500# front dana 60 axle and everywhere i buy fresh pads from end up being to thick to install.. does anyone else have thick rotors and cant find pads that’ll fit? probably have black lung disease now from grinding off excess material just to make’em fit..

Buy chevy 1-ton pads. All the chevy rotors for that Bendix brake caliper are 1.5" thick.
