Wilwood 13-18 Dodge Ram 1500 Aero6 DM Front Brake Kit

What you get in this Wilwood Aero6 DM front brake kit is a complete package designed to significantly upgrade your 2013-2018 Dodge Ram 1500's stopping power. This kit includes a pair of Aero6 DM calipers, which are a six-piston design known for their robust construction and consistent performance. You'll also find a set of 14.25-inch diameter, 1.25-inch thick two-piece rotors, engineered for optimal heat dissipation. The kit comes with all the necessary mounting brackets, stainless steel brake lines, and high-performance BP-20 brake pads to get you up and running.

Wilwood's Aero6 DM calipers are built from forged aluminum, making them both strong and lightweight. The DM (Dynamic Mount) design offers a unique mounting solution that simplifies installation and ensures a solid connection. These calipers are paired with two-piece rotors, featuring a cast iron friction ring and an aluminum hat. This two-piece construction allows for better thermal management, as the aluminum hat can expand and contract independently of the iron ring, reducing the risk of rotor warping under heavy use. The included BP-20 pads are a popular choice for their balance of street drivability and track-capable performance, offering good initial bite and fade resistance.

Upgrading your front brakes with a kit like this is a substantial improvement over the factory setup, especially if you tow, haul heavy loads, or simply want more confidence in your braking. The larger rotor surface area and the increased clamping force from the six-piston calipers work together to shorten stopping distances and reduce brake fade during repeated hard stops. While this is a bolt-on kit, it's a significant modification that requires careful installation. Always refer to the manufacturer's instructions for proper torque specifications and any specific procedures for your Ram 1500.
