Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads utilize a high-quality ceramic compound infused with carbon fiber to enhance strength and heat resistance. This combination provides superior stopping power while maintaining a low dust output, which helps keep your wheels cleaner compared to traditional semi-metallic pads. The backing plates are powder-coated to prevent rust and corrosion, ensuring durability even in harsh environments.

Multi-layer stainless-steel shims are incorporated to improve heat dissipation and reduce noise, while the chamfered and slotted pad surfaces help minimize brake squeal and promote even pad wear. The pads are also thermally scorched to speed up the break-in process, allowing you to experience optimal braking performance sooner.

Installation of the PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow brake pads is straightforward, especially with the included premium stainless-steel hardware and ceramic brake lubricant. These components simplify the brake job and help ensure proper fit and function. The pads are designed to fit both front and rear applications on the Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2004 through 2008, making them a direct replacement for your factory brake pads without the need for modifications.
