With the low set anhedral stabilator, if you held a constant stick position all the way to touchdown the aircraft would pitch slightly nose down due to the stab entering ground effect before the wings. Apparently, this did not occur when landing on a carrier deck because you didn't get the same ground effect. Personally, unless on a runway length limited landing, I would apply slight aft stick just before touchdown in order to maintain a constant pitch attitude and AOA.
Different F4 marks/models had different brakes so the braking issues did vary. The F-4M/FGR2 certainly had the 'good' brakes.
One other interesting aspect of the F4 was that in a crosswind you did not kick off drift because the aileron-rudder interconnect would generate excessive roll if you did; you touched down with the 'crab' applied.
