Wilwood TX6R Front Big Brake Kit
2011–2018 Ram 1500 2WD
Part #: 140-15807-R
Overview
The Wilwood TX6R 6-Piston Front Big Brake Kit is a high-performance braking solution engineered specifically for the 2011–2018 Ram 1500 2WD models. Designed to meet the demands of truck owners who require superior stopping power, this kit combines robust six-piston calipers with large, slotted rotors to deliver consistent, fade-resistant braking performance under heavy loads and aggressive driving conditions.
Whether you tow, haul, or enjoy spirited driving, the TX6R kit offers a reliable upgrade that integrates seamlessly with your Ram’s factory power brake system. Beyond its functional benefits, the kit’s vibrant red powder-coated calipers and directional vane rotors provide a striking visual enhancement to the front end of your truck.
Key Features
Wilwood’s TX6R Big Brake Kit incorporates advanced engineering and premium components to ensure exceptional braking performance and durability:
- Radial mount six-piston calipers delivering increased clamping force and improved pedal feel
- Massive 16.00” GT-60 Spec-37 alloy rotors featuring directional vanes for superior heat dissipation
- Slotted rotor design to reduce brake fade and maintain consistent stopping power
- Red powder-coated calipers providing corrosion resistance and a bold appearance
- Caliper volume matched to the factory power brake system for seamless integration
- Includes radial mount caliper brackets and all necessary mounting hardware
- Compatible with factory disc spindles, requiring no suspension or steering modifications
- Minimum 20” wheel diameter required for proper clearance
Construction & Design
The TX6R brake kit features calipers crafted from high-strength aluminum alloy, balancing lightweight construction with exceptional structural rigidity. The six-piston design ensures even pressure distribution across the brake pads, reducing uneven wear and enhancing braking consistency.
The 16.00” GT-60 Spec-37 rotors are manufactured from a premium alloy optimized for thermal conductivity and resistance to warping under extreme heat. Directional vanes within the rotors promote efficient airflow to rapidly dissipate heat during aggressive braking, while the slotted surface helps evacuate brake dust and gases to maintain clean pad contact and maximize friction.
Finishing the calipers with a durable red powder coat not only protects against corrosion but also adds a performance-inspired aesthetic that complements the rugged look of the Ram 1500.
Installation & Fitment
This big brake kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation to the factory disc spindles of 2011–2018 Ram 1500 2WD models, requiring no modifications to suspension or steering components. Radial mount caliper brackets are included to ensure precise alignment and secure mounting of the calipers.
While the kit comes complete with all necessary mounting hardware, some installations may require separately purchased braided stainless steel brake lines. Due to the large rotor diameter, a minimum wheel size of 20 inches is required to ensure proper clearance. It is recommended to verify wheel compatibility prior to installation.

- Wilwood TX6R six-piston radial mount front calipers (red powder coat)
- 16.00” GT-60 Spec-37 directional vane slotted rotors

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!
