K1524-36
Overview:
The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is a comprehensive front brake upgrade designed specifically for heavy-duty trucks and SUVs that demand reliable stopping power under tough conditions. Engineered for vehicles like Chevrolet K1500, K2500, K3500, Dodge Ram 2500, and GMC K-series models from the late 1980s through the 1990s, this kit is ideal for drivers who tow, haul, or navigate mountainous terrain. It combines advanced materials and precision engineering to deliver enhanced braking performance, improved heat dissipation, and reduced brake dust, all while maintaining everyday drivability.
Whether you’re towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, or tackling off-road adventures, the Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit offers a bolt-on solution that upgrades your stock brakes without requiring modifications. This kit provides peace of mind with severe-duty stopping power tailored to the demands of trucks and SUVs that work hard and play hard.
Key Features:
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of heavy-duty applications, the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit includes:
- Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z36 brake pads that enhance strength and durability beyond standard ceramic compounds
- Drilled and slotted rotors engineered to maximize heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during extended braking
- Low-dust ceramic pads validated by third-party testing to produce approximately 30% less dust than original equipment
- Premium stainless-steel hardware and pad shims that resist corrosion and withstand high temperatures common in towing and hauling
- Zinc-plated rotors for superior rust protection and long-lasting appearance
- High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included for smooth, quiet operation
- Complete bolt-on installation with no modifications required, ensuring a straightforward upgrade process
- Engineered to handle the increased stress of towing, hauling, lifted trucks, and mountainous driving conditions
Construction & Design:
The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit features advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to deliver exceptional performance and durability. The brake pads utilize a proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic compound that reinforces the ceramic matrix, providing enhanced strength and heat resistance necessary for heavy-duty braking. This compound ensures consistent stopping power while minimizing dust and noise.
The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to improve cooling efficiency by allowing heat and gases to escape quickly. This design reduces brake fade during prolonged braking, such as long descents or heavy towing scenarios. Additionally, the rotors are zinc plated to protect against rust and corrosion, extending their service life even in harsh environments.
Stainless-steel hardware and shims are included to resist the elevated temperatures and corrosive conditions typical of truck and tow applications, ensuring reliable pad retention and quiet braking performance.

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!
