K5143-36
Overview:
The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is a comprehensive front brake upgrade designed specifically for 2000 to 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 models, including Laramie, SLT, Sport, and ST trims. Engineered for trucks, 4x4s, and SUVs that demand superior stopping power under heavy loads, this kit offers a seamless bolt-on solution for drivers who tow, haul, or tackle challenging terrain. Combining advanced materials and performance-driven design, the Z36 kit delivers enhanced braking performance without compromising everyday drivability.
Whether you’re towing a trailer, hauling equipment, or navigating mountainous roads, this brake kit provides the confidence and control needed for severe-duty applications. PowerStop’s mission is to make brake upgrades accessible and effective, and the Z36 kit exemplifies this with its easy installation and durable components.
Key Features:
Designed to meet the rigorous demands of truck and tow applications, the PowerStop Z36 Brake Kit includes:
- Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z36 brake pads that reinforce traditional ceramic compounds for enhanced strength and durability under heavy loads
- Drilled and slotted rotors engineered to maximize heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during extended braking, especially on long descents
- Low-dust ceramic brake pads validated by third-party testing to produce approximately 30% less brake dust compared to original equipment
- Premium stainless-steel hardware and pad shims designed to resist corrosion and withstand elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty use
- High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise
- Zinc-plated rotors for superior rust protection and long-lasting appearance
- Complete bolt-on upgrade requiring no modifications for a hassle-free installation
- Engineered as a matched system to optimize overall braking performance on trucks with heavier payloads
Construction & Design:
The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit features Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads that enhance the structural integrity of standard ceramic compounds, providing exceptional stopping power and durability. These pads are specifically formulated to handle the increased stress of towing and hauling without sacrificing smooth pedal feel or drivability.
The rotors are precision-machined with drilled holes and slots to improve cooling efficiency by allowing heat and gases to escape, which helps maintain consistent braking performance during demanding conditions. The zinc plating on the rotors offers robust corrosion resistance, extending the life of the components even in harsh environments.
All hardware components, including pad shims and installation clips, are made from stainless steel to resist rust and withstand the elevated temperatures generated during heavy braking.
Performance & Sound
The combination of Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads and drilled & slotted rotors delivers severe-duty stopping power with minimal brake dust and noise. The low-dust formulation keeps wheels cleaner, while the ceramic compound and hardware design reduce brake squeal and vibration, ensuring a quiet and confident braking experience under all driving conditions.
Installation & Fitment:
This PowerStop Z36 kit is designed as a direct replacement for the front brakes on 2000 and 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 models, including Laramie, SLT, Sport, and ST trims. Installation is straightforward and requires no modifications, making it an ideal bolt-on upgrade for both professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts. All necessary hardware is included to facilitate a smooth and secure installation.
What's Included:
- Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z36 front brake pads
- Drilled and slotted front brake rotors
- Premium stainless-steel pad shims
- Stainless-steel installation hardware

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!
