Wilwood Aero6-DM Front Big Brake Kit
2013–2018 RAM 1500 2WD
Part #: 140-17760-DR
Overview
The Wilwood Aero6-DM Front Big Brake Kit is a high-performance braking solution engineered specifically for the 2013 to 2018 RAM 1500 2WD models. Designed to meet the rigorous demands of towing, off-road driving, and vehicles equipped with larger wheels and tires, this kit delivers superior stopping power and enhanced brake control. Featuring six-piston calipers and large drilled and slotted rotors, the Aero6-DM kit ensures consistent, fade-resistant braking performance under extreme conditions.
This kit is ideal for RAM 1500 owners seeking a reliable upgrade that maintains full compatibility with factory ABS and master cylinder systems, providing a seamless integration without compromising safety or functionality.
Key Features
The Wilwood Aero6-DM kit combines advanced engineering with durable materials to offer a robust and effective braking upgrade. Key features include:
- Six-piston calipers with a vibrant red powder coat finish for increased clamping force and visual appeal
- Direct-mount design tailored for factory disc spindles, ensuring precise fitment and simplified installation
- Drilled and slotted one-piece rotors measuring 13.38" to 13.56" in diameter for superior heat dissipation and fade resistance
- Full compatibility with the original equipment master cylinder and ABS system, preserving factory safety features
- Optimized for trucks requiring enhanced braking capacity due to towing, off-road use, or larger wheels and tires
- Minimum 17-inch wheel diameter required to accommodate the larger rotor and caliper size
- Durable construction designed to withstand sustained high-heat conditions during heavy braking
Construction & Design
The Aero6-DM brake kit features six high-performance caliper pistons housed within a rigid, lightweight aluminum body finished in corrosion-resistant red powder coat. This design not only improves braking force but also resists wear and corrosion for long-lasting durability. The rotors are precision-machined one-piece units with drilled holes and slots to enhance cooling and reduce brake fade during extended use.
The rotor diameter is carefully selected to maximize braking torque while maintaining seamless compatibility with the RAM 1500’s factory disc spindle. This combination of materials and engineering ensures reliable, consistent braking performance in demanding driving environments.
Installation & Fitment
Installation is straightforward thanks to the direct-mount design, which bolts directly to the factory disc spindle without requiring adapters or modifications. The kit is engineered to work seamlessly with the RAM 1500’s original master cylinder and ABS system, preserving all factory safety features. A minimum wheel diameter of 17 inches is necessary to clear the larger rotors and calipers.
Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper brake system function and safety.

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!
