Key Features:
The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit integrates advanced materials and design to enhance braking efficiency and durability. Key features include:
- Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads that reinforce typical ceramic compounds to handle heavier loads and severe-duty applications.
- Drilled and slotted rotors engineered to maximize heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during extended downhill driving or heavy towing.
- Low-dust ceramic formulation validated by third-party testing, producing approximately 30% less brake dust compared to original equipment.
- Premium stainless-steel hardware included for corrosion resistance and reliable pad retention under high-temperature conditions.
- Stainless-steel pad shims designed to withstand increased temperatures common in heavy-duty braking scenarios.
- Zinc-plated rotors for enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, extending rotor life in harsh environments.
- High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise.
- Complete bolt-on kit requiring no modifications, making installation straightforward and hassle-free.
Construction & Design:
The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is built with premium materials tailored for heavy-duty use. The brake pads feature a Carbon-Fiber reinforced ceramic compound that combines the quiet, low-dust benefits of ceramic pads with the added strength needed for towing and hauling. This advanced pad material resists wear and maintains consistent friction under high stress.
The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to improve cooling and gas evacuation, which helps maintain optimal braking performance during prolonged use. Their zinc plating provides a durable barrier against rust, ensuring the rotors maintain their integrity and appearance over time. Stainless-steel hardware and shims further enhance the kit’s resilience to heat and corrosion, making it suitable for rugged driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
This rear brake kit is designed as a direct replacement for the stock brake components on 2018–2026 Jeep Gladiator and Wrangler models, including a wide range of trims such as Rubicon, Sport, Mojave, and Unlimited variants. Installation is straightforward with all necessary hardware included, allowing for a bolt-on upgrade without the need for modifications or specialized tools. This makes it accessible for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts.

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!
