What makes the Z36 pads different from standard ceramic pads?

The Z36 pads use a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound. This reinforcement makes them stronger than typical ceramic pads, allowing them to handle the higher temperatures and stresses associated with towing, hauling, and heavy-duty use without compromising everyday drivability.

Why are the rotors drilled and slotted?

Drilling and slotting the rotors helps to improve brake cooling. The slots allow gases and dust to escape from between the pad and rotor surface, while both the holes and slots increase the surface area for heat dissipation. This helps prevent brake fade, especially during demanding driving conditions like long descents or heavy braking.

Does this kit include everything needed for installation?

Yes, this Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is designed as a complete bolt-on upgrade. It includes the drilled and slotted rotors, carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads, premium stainless-steel hardware, and high-temperature ceramic brake lubricant.

Product Details

If you're towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, or frequently driving in hilly terrain with your 2003-2008 Dodge Ram 2500, upgrading your rear brakes is a smart move. This Power Stop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is designed specifically for those situations, giving you improved stopping power when you need it most.
