Key Features:
The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit integrates cutting-edge technology and premium components to ensure optimal braking performance under demanding conditions. Key features include:
- Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z36 brake pads that enhance the strength and durability of traditional ceramic compounds, designed to handle heavier loads and severe-duty use.
- Drilled and slotted rotors engineered to maximize heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during extended braking such as long downhill descents.
- Low-dust ceramic pads validated by third-party testing to produce approximately 30% less brake dust compared to original equipment, keeping wheels cleaner.
- Premium stainless-steel hardware and shims that resist corrosion and withstand the increased temperatures common in heavy-duty applications.
- Zinc-plated rotors for enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, extending the life of the braking components.
- High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise.
- Complete bolt-on kit requiring no modifications, designed to fit the front brakes of Dodge Ram 2500 and 3500 models from 2000 to 2002.
Construction & Design:
The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is meticulously engineered with a focus on durability and performance. The brake pads feature a proprietary carbon-fiber ceramic compound that combines the quiet, low-dust benefits of ceramic with enhanced strength to handle the rigors of towing and heavy hauling. This compound offers improved wear resistance and consistent braking power under high stress.
The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to facilitate rapid heat dissipation and gas venting, which helps maintain optimal braking efficiency and reduces the risk of brake fade. Their zinc plating provides a robust barrier against rust, ensuring long-lasting performance even in harsh environments.
All hardware components are crafted from stainless steel to resist corrosion and maintain secure pad retention, critical for heavy-duty braking applications.
Performance & Sound
The combination of carbon-fiber ceramic pads and drilled & slotted rotors delivers severe-duty stopping power while maintaining smooth, quiet operation. The low-dust formulation minimizes brake dust buildup on wheels, preserving appearance without sacrificing braking effectiveness. Drivers will experience confident, consistent braking performance whether towing heavy trailers or navigating challenging terrain.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
