PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit (REAR): Dodge Ram 2500 / Ram 3500 2001 - 2002
PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit (REAR)
2001–2002 Dodge Ram 2500 / Dodge Ram 3500
K5489-36
Overview:
The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is engineered specifically for heavy-duty trucks like the Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 from 2001 to 2002. Designed for drivers who demand reliable stopping power while towing, hauling, or navigating challenging terrain, this kit provides a comprehensive brake upgrade that balances severe-duty performance with everyday drivability. Whether you’re hauling equipment to the jobsite, towing a trailer, or exploring off-road trails, the Z36 kit offers a bolt-on solution that enhances braking confidence and safety.
Featuring a combination of advanced Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads and drilled & slotted rotors, this kit is tailored to withstand the increased demands of heavier loads and extended braking periods. It’s an ideal upgrade for truck owners seeking improved heat dissipation, reduced brake dust, and durable hardware for long-lasting performance.
Key Features:
The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit integrates cutting-edge materials and design elements to deliver superior braking performance under tough conditions. Key features include:
- Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads that enhance strength and durability beyond standard ceramic compounds, optimized for heavier loads and towing.
- Drilled and slotted rotors engineered to maximize heat dissipation, reducing brake fade during prolonged braking such as long mountain descents.
- Low-dust formula validated by third-party testing, producing approximately 30% less brake dust compared to original equipment pads.
- Premium stainless-steel hardware and shims that resist corrosion and withstand elevated temperatures common in heavy-duty applications.
- Zinc-plated rotors for enhanced protection against rust and corrosion, extending rotor life.
- High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant included to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise.
- Complete bolt-on installation with no modifications required, making upgrades straightforward and hassle-free.
- Engineered as a matched system with pads, rotors, and hardware designed to work in harmony for optimal braking power.
Construction & Design:
The Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit is built with durability and performance in mind. The Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads combine the quiet, low-dust characteristics of ceramic materials with the added strength and heat resistance of carbon fiber reinforcement. This blend ensures consistent stopping power even under severe-duty conditions such as towing heavy trailers or driving in mountainous terrain.
The rotors feature a drilled and slotted design that enhances cooling by increasing airflow and allowing gases and debris to escape. This design reduces the risk of brake fade and maintains consistent pedal feel during extended braking. Additionally, the zinc plating on the rotors protects against rust, preserving both appearance and function over time.
Installation & Fitment:
This brake kit is designed as a direct replacement for the rear brakes on 2001 and 2002 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models. Installation is straightforward with all necessary stainless-steel hardware included, allowing for a bolt-on upgrade with no modifications required. Whether you’re a professional mechanic or a knowledgeable DIY enthusiast, the kit’s comprehensive components and clear fitment make the upgrade process efficient and reliable.
What's Included:
- Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Z36 brake pads (rear)
- Drilled & slotted zinc-plated brake rotors (rear)
