What is the main benefit of the Z36 Truck & Tow brake pads?

The Z36 pads are specifically formulated to handle the demands of towing and hauling. They offer a strong initial bite and consistent stopping power, even when your truck is carrying heavy loads.

Why are the rotors drilled and slotted?

The drilling and slotting on the rotors serve a dual purpose. Slots help to sweep away brake dust and gases that can build up between the pad and rotor, while both drilling and slots help to dissipate heat, reducing the chance of brake fade during heavy use.

Does this kit include everything needed for the rear brakes?

Yes, this kit is designed to be a comprehensive rear brake replacement. It includes new calipers, high-carbon alloy rotors with a drilled and slotted design, and Z36 performance brake pads.

Product Details

The drilled and slotted rotors in this PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow kit are made from a high-carbon alloy. This material choice helps to dissipate heat more effectively than standard cast iron, which is crucial when you're hauling heavy loads or towing with your 2001-2002 Dodge Ram 2500.

This kit is specifically put together for trucks that work hard. The Z36 brake pads are engineered for towing and hauling, offering a strong bite and consistent performance under load. The drilled and slotted rotor design helps to keep the pads clean and cool, reducing fade and wear. You'll also find that the slots help to sweep away gas and dust, maintaining optimal contact between the pad and rotor surface. This kit includes new calipers, so you're getting a complete overhaul for your rear braking system.

When you're upgrading your Ram 2500's braking system for towing, it's important to have all the right components. This kit aims to provide that, with everything you need for the rear axle. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully to ensure proper break-in and optimal performance.
