• Stainless steel pistons and abutments for enhanced longevity and smooth operation
• Dual-seal system with D.O.T. compliant dust and weather seals to protect internal components
• Staggered piston design to minimize uneven pad wear and optimize braking force
• 15" two-piece rotor featuring slotted and drilled zinc-plated surfaces for superior heat dissipation and reduced brake fade
• Billet aluminum rotor hat for lightweight strength and precise fitment
• Rotors pre-assembled with NAS high-grade stainless steel hardware for secure installation
• Includes all necessary mounting brackets and hardware for a complete front brake upgrade

Construction & Design:

The Extreme+ calipers are precision CNC machined in Phoenix, Arizona, from a solid 2618 aluminum forging sourced domestically in the USA. This high-strength aluminum alloy offers exceptional durability and heat resistance, critical for maintaining brake performance under heavy use. The calipers feature stainless steel pistons and abutments, which resist corrosion and ensure smooth piston movement over time.

The rotors are a two-piece design with a zinc-plated, slotted, and drilled braking surface that enhances cooling and reduces the risk of warping. The billet aluminum hats provide a lightweight yet rigid mounting platform, improving rotor stability and reducing unsprung weight. The entire assembly is finished with a corrosion-resistant powder coat on the calipers and zinc plating on the rotors, ensuring long-lasting protection against the elements.

Installation & Fitment:

This front brake kit is designed to fit Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 models from 2002 through 2018 without requiring modifications. It fits most 19" or larger wheels, making it a versatile upgrade for many factory and aftermarket wheel options. Installation includes all necessary mounting brackets and hardware, allowing for a straightforward bolt-on process for experienced installers. Proper brake fluid bleeding and system inspection are recommended to ensure optimal performance after installation.
