Construction & Design:

Manufactured from premium-grade cast iron, the DBA 4000 Series rotors are engineered for strength and thermal efficiency. The rotors undergo a rigorous manufacturing process including dynamic balancing and precision CNC machining to ensure consistent thickness and flatness. This attention to detail reduces vibration and brake judder, providing a smooth and controlled braking experience.

The hallmark T3 slot pattern is a result of extensive research and development. These bi-directional slots effectively channel away brake dust, gases, and water from the pad surface, maintaining optimal friction and reducing the risk of glazing. The slots also aid in heat dissipation, which is critical for maintaining braking performance during heavy towing or aggressive driving.

Installation & Fitment:

The DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Rear Rotor is designed as a direct replacement for the rear brakes on Ram 1500 trucks from 2011 to 2024. Installation requires no modifications, making it a straightforward upgrade for both professional mechanics and experienced DIY enthusiasts. The rotors fit perfectly with factory calipers and hardware, preserving the original brake system’s integrity and safety.

For optimal performance, it is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously and to follow proper bedding-in procedures after installation.
