D52 Brake Pad Recommendations? Want The Most Bite

I'm fairly certain that this is a loaded question. But for street use on a 3600lb pickup, what pads have you used that transformed bite/pedal feel?

I have new dual 2.0" piston Wilwood calipers with stainless hoses and the existing vacuum booster from the factory boosted discs. My new dual master cylinder is of the 1 1/8" large port variety. My tires are 235/75R15, and I'm lowered 2" (not sure that last bit matters for bite and pedal feel).

I'm not concerned about brake dust, as I'm running 15" steel wheels with dog dishes. I've read that dust isn't much of an issue with the new high-performance compounds, anyway.

I just want to be able to stand the truck on its nose, without standing on the pedal with both feet.
