Product Description

The PowerStop KC5487-36 Z36 Truck & Tow Rear Brake Kit with Calipers is engineered specifically for heavy-duty Ram trucks equipped with 8-lug rear axles, including Ram 2500 (2009-2018) and Ram 3500 (2009-2012, SRW). This kit upgrades the rear brake system with carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic pads, drilled & slotted zinc-plated rotors and powder-coated calipers - delivering enhanced stopping power, improved thermal management and durability under towing, hauling or large-wheel conditions.

Designed for truck owners who carry heavy loads, tow trailers or install wide wheels, the KC5487-36 offers a bolt-on solution for the rear axle. Everything needed is included - calipers, rotors, pads and hardware - enabling an efficient rear-brake upgrade. Before purchase, verify your truck's year, axle type, rear wheel lug count, drivetrain and factory brake components to ensure compatibility.

Ideal for heavy-duty use, the KC5487-36 kit supports owners seeking stronger rear braking performance alongside cleaner wheels (thanks to its low-dust design) and a visual upgrade behind large wheels. Confirm your vehicle's exact configuration (including axle, lug pattern, and brake setup) before installation.
