Wilwood 19-22 Ford Ranger Aerolite 6R Kit 6 x 5.50in Hub - 13.38in Slotted Rotor

This Wilwood Aerolite 6R Big Brake Kit is designed to give your 2019-2022 Ford Ranger a significant upgrade in stopping power and heat management. You get a complete front brake system, including a pair of Wilwood's lightweight Aerolite 6R forged billet aluminum calipers, each featuring six pistons for robust clamping force. The kit also includes a pair of 13.38-inch diameter slotted iron rotors, which help to dissipate heat and clear away brake dust and gases for more consistent performance. All the necessary mounting brackets, hardware, and stainless steel braided brake lines are included to ensure a proper installation.

The Aerolite 6R calipers are a popular choice for performance builds because they offer a lot of braking power in a compact and lightweight package. The forged billet construction makes them strong and durable, while the six pistons work together to provide even pressure distribution across the brake pads. This translates to better pedal feel and more controlled braking, especially during demanding situations like repeated hard stops or when carrying heavy loads. The slotted rotors are a key component for heat dissipation; as the rotor spins, the slots help vent hot gases and dust away from the pad surface, preventing fade and maintaining optimal friction. This kit is engineered to work with a 6 x 5.50-inch bolt circle hub, which is common on many trucks and SUVs.

When installing this kit, you'll want to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. Because this is a significant brake upgrade, it's a good idea to bleed your brake system thoroughly after installation to remove any air and ensure optimal hydraulic performance. This kit is a substantial improvement over stock brakes and is well-suited for Rangers that see frequent towing, off-roading, or spirited driving where enhanced braking is a priority.
