Designed specifically for Dodge Durango and Jeep Grand Cherokee models from 2011 to 2020, this rear brake kit offers enhanced stopping power for vehicles that tow, haul, or tackle challenging terrain. Featuring a complete set of premium components, the Z36 kit delivers a seamless bolt-on installation and improved brake performance without compromising everyday drivability.

Whether you’re towing a trailer, hauling heavy loads, or navigating mountainous roads, the Z36 kit ensures your vehicle maintains optimal braking efficiency and safety. Its low-dust, carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic pads paired with drilled and slotted rotors provide superior heat dissipation and durability, making it an ideal upgrade for drivers who demand both performance and reliability.

Key Features:

The PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Brake Kit combines advanced materials and thoughtful engineering to meet the demands of heavy-duty applications. Key features include:

• Proprietary Carbon-Fiber Ceramic brake pads for enhanced strength and severe-duty stopping power
• Drilled and slotted rotors designed to maximize heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during extended use
• Low-dust formula validated by third-party testing, producing approximately 30% less dust than original equipment
• Stainless-steel pad shims that resist high temperatures common in towing and heavy hauling scenarios
• Complete stainless-steel installation hardware included for a secure and corrosion-resistant fit
• High-temperature ceramic brake lubricant to ensure smooth operation and reduce noise
• Zinc-plated rotors for superior rust protection and long-lasting appearance
• Bolt-on upgrade requiring no modifications to factory components

Construction & Design:

The Z36 brake pads utilize a carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic compound that significantly improves pad strength and heat resistance compared to standard ceramic pads. This advanced formulation allows the pads to handle the increased stress of towing and heavy payloads without sacrificing smooth braking or pedal feel. The rotors are engineered with precision-drilled holes and slots to facilitate rapid heat dissipation and prevent brake fade during demanding driving conditions such as mountain descents or off-road use.

All hardware components are crafted from premium stainless steel to withstand the harsh environments and elevated temperatures associated with truck and SUV applications. The rotors’ zinc plating further enhances corrosion resistance, ensuring the kit maintains its performance and appearance over time.

Performance & Sound

The Z36 kit delivers severe-duty stopping power with minimal brake dust and noise. The carbon-fiber ceramic pads provide consistent braking performance under heavy loads, while the drilled and slotted rotors help maintain cooler operating temperatures, reducing the risk of brake fade. Additionally, the included high-temperature ceramic lubricant and stainless-steel shims contribute to quieter braking and reduced vibration, enhancing overall driving comfort.
