• Direct mount six-piston calipers finished in black powder coat for corrosion resistance and aggressive styling
• Massive 15.00-inch GT slotted alloy rotors designed for superior heat dissipation and fade resistance
• Calipers volume-matched to maintain full compatibility with factory power brake systems
• Slotted rotors enhance pad bite and help evacuate brake dust and gases for consistent braking
• Factory disc spindle mount type allows straightforward installation without spindle modifications
• Compatible with factory lug mounting points for easy fitment
• Requires minimum 20-inch wheel diameter to accommodate larger rotor and caliper size
• Includes all necessary hardware for complete front brake installation

Construction & Design

The TX6-DM kit features calipers constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy, providing an excellent balance of lightweight design and structural rigidity. The black powder coat finish protects against corrosion and enhances durability in harsh environments. The 15.00-inch GT rotors are crafted from premium alloy and precision-machined with slots to improve cooling efficiency and maintain consistent friction levels during heavy braking. This combination of materials and engineering ensures long-lasting performance and resistance to heat-induced brake fade, even under sustained heavy use.

Installation & Fitment

This big brake kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation on 2011–2026 Ram 2500 and 3500 models, utilizing factory disc spindles and lug mounting points for a seamless upgrade. The kit includes all necessary hardware for a complete front brake replacement. Depending on your vehicle’s specific configuration, braided stainless steel flex lines may need to be purchased separately to ensure optimal brake line performance and safety. Installation requires a minimum wheel diameter of 20 inches to clear the larger rotors and calipers.
