HMMWV brake pads

I'm in need of some guidance on what pads to buy for my m998. I have new rotors but there seems to be about a million different pads out there and I want to make sure to get the right ones. At first I was just going to go with some h1 pads but then I was reading that they don't last as long as the am general pads. So then I found kit 5745162C but I don't know if that's the right one. Says it works on both 10k and 12k trucks, I have a 10k truck with the rear caliper parking brakes. I was also reading that there are upgraded pads where the inside one is larger than the outside. I cant tell if this kit has those or not. Thanks for any help.

Plus, the hawk pads have the correct bevel from the factory.
Sorry to revive an old thread. I'm getting some squeaks out of the brakes on my M1152. It doesn't feel like the rotors are warped or that the pads are actually worn to the point that it's metal on metal. I'm curious if I should just replace the pads or if anyone has any experience dealing with squeaky brakes on a Humvee.

its not uncommon for some squeaky brakes on these trucks, the OEM pads on a 52 are a very high metallic content, you have solid rotors if you are a Serial number under 300k. You need to check rotors and pads for wear and grooving, a pad slap won’t do much unless you go to a softer pad, which you can by using just standard H1/hmmwv pads, they have a much lower metallic content…warped rotors don’t make for squeaky brakes.
