Vehicle Fitment

• 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 (5.7L Hemi V8 & 6.7L Cummins Diesel, 4x2 & 4x4, SRW - All cabs & trims)
• 2009-2010 Dodge Ram 3500 (5.7L Hemi V8 & 6.7L Cummins Diesel, 4x2 & 4x4 - SRW & DRW)
• 2011-2018 Ram 2500 (5.7L Hemi V8 & 6.7L Cummins Diesel, 4x2 & 4x4, SRW - All cabs & trims)

Fitment Notes

• Fits 8-lug (8x165.1mm / 8x6.5 in.) bolt pattern models only - standard Ram 1500 and other 5-lug Ram 1500 models are not compatible
• Ram 3500 coverage is 2009-2012 only - the 2013-2018 Ram 3500 uses different rotors and requires PowerStop K5411-36 instead
• Fits both SRW (Single Rear Wheel) and DRW (Dual Rear Wheel) Ram 3500 configurations - same front and rear rotor dimensions
• Complete front and rear kit - full 4-wheel brake upgrade in one box
• No special modifications required - direct bolt-on installation

Features

• Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pad compound engineered for the demands of heavy loads, max-rated towing, and mountainous descents - the highest-output pad compound in the PowerStop street lineup
• Severe-duty Z36 formula generates substantially greater brake torque than standard ceramic pads with much longer pad life under heavy-duty use
• Drilled & slotted vented rotors at both axles maximize heat dissipation on the large 14-inch rotors used on these heavy-duty trucks
• Premium stainless-steel pad shims resist the elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty towing and hauling applications
• Low-dust formula validated through on-vehicle third-party testing - 30% less dust on average versus OE
• Silver zinc dichromate plated rotors resist rust and corrosion
• G3000 grade iron castings built to strict OE tolerances for crack resistance and durability
• Includes premium stainless-steel installation hardware and high-temp ceramic brake lubricant
• Bolt-on upgrade - no modifications needed

Product Description

The PowerStop K5458-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Front & Rear Brake Kit is a complete 4-wheel heavy-duty brake upgrade for the 2009-2018 Ram 2500 and 2009-2012 Ram 3500 - 8-lug models. Everything ships in one box. The Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic pads are purpose-built for the demands these heavy-duty trucks place on their brakes: loaded bed runs, max-rated towing, steep mountain descents, and the sustained heat loads that come with it. They generate substantially more brake torque than standard ceramic pads and are designed to maintain consistent stopping performance even under the elevated temperatures generated by the Ram's massive gross vehicle and trailer weights.

The Ram 3500 fitment ends at 2012 - the 2013-2018 Ram 3500 uses different rotors; see K5411-36 for that application. The 2012 Ram 1500 with 8-lug Tradesman HD configuration is also covered. G3000 iron rotors are precision-cast to OE tolerances for a direct bolt-on fit with no modifications. For the front-only Z36 kit on this platform, see PowerStop K5411-36.
