Power Stop 13-20 Ram 5500 Rear Drilled & Slotted Rotor - Pair

This is a pair of rear drilled and slotted brake rotors from Power Stop, specifically made for 2013 through 2020 Ram 5500 trucks. If you're looking to upgrade your braking performance, especially if your truck sees heavy use or towing, these rotors can make a notable difference. They are designed to help dissipate heat more effectively than standard, plain rotors, which is crucial for maintaining stopping power under demanding conditions.

What sets these rotors apart is the combination of drilling and slotting. The holes are drilled through the rotor surface to help vent hot gases and moisture away, preventing brake fade. The slots are precision-machined to sweep away dust and gas, ensuring a cleaner rotor surface and more consistent contact with your brake pads. This dual action helps keep your braking system cooler and more responsive, particularly during repeated stops or when hauling heavy loads. Power Stop uses a high-quality cast iron for the rotor body, which offers good durability and thermal stability. They are also finished with a protective coating to help prevent rust during transit and initial storage, though proper bed-in with compatible pads is always recommended for optimal performance.

When installing these rotors, it's important to ensure you have the correct brake pads to match their performance. Power Stop typically recommends their own pad compounds for best results, but any quality pad designed for heavy-duty applications will work. Make sure to follow the manufacturer's recommended break-in procedure for new rotors and pads to achieve the best possible stopping power and longevity for your Ram 5500.
