PowerStop Rear Brake Pads for Dodge & Jeep — Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Rear Set with Hardware

PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are a direct-fit carbon-fiber ceramic Truck & Tow upgrade built to improve stopping power, cut dust and stand up to towing, hauling and modified trucks without any caliper modifications.

These Z36 Truck & Tow rear pads are engineered for heavier-duty driving conditions where heat, weight and extended use demand a more durable friction material than standard OE replacements. The kit includes two carbon-fiber ceramic brake pads and stainless-steel installation hardware, so you get a complete bolt-on upgrade that fits specific Dodge and Jeep rear applications from the factory mounting points. The formula blends ceramic quietness with carbon-fiber reinforcement for stronger initial bite, reduced fade and lower dusting—while the supplied hardware helps ensure a smooth, rattle-free fitment during DIY or professional installs.

How do these pads improve braking when towing or hauling?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound designed to resist fade under prolonged, heavy use. That means more consistent pedal feel on long descents or during repeated stop-and-go work. You’ll notice firmer initial bite and sustained deceleration as the pads maintain friction at higher temperatures.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic friction for higher heat tolerance and consistent performance
• Engineered for heavy loads, trailers and frequent downhill braking
• Designed to reduce brake fade compared with standard OE pads

Will installation require any modifications to my Dodge or Jeep?

No modifications are required; the Z36 pads are made as a direct-fit rear replacement for the listed models. The kit includes stainless-steel installation hardware to simplify alignment and minimize noise, so most installs are straightforward for a competent DIYer or a quick shop job. Always verify vehicle fitment before purchase to ensure correct pad profile and fit.

• Includes stainless-steel installation hardware for proper fit and quick install
• Direct-fit design—no grinding, machining or caliper changes needed
• Simple bolt-on replacement for the listed rear applications

How do these pads affect noise, dust and everyday drivability?

The ceramic matrix keeps dust levels lower than many semi-metallic compounds while carbon-fiber reinforcement preserves strong stopping performance. Stainless-steel shims reduce vibration and help prevent squeal, so daily driving remains quiet and comfortable. You get improved braking without sacrificing the tidy wheel appearance or ride refinement expected from OEM-like pads.

• Low-dust ceramic formulation for cleaner wheels and less maintenance
• Stainless-steel shims to help reduce noise and vibration
• Balanced for both performance stopping and everyday drivability

What durability and warranty support come with these brake pads?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads are built for extended service in trucks and SUVs subjected to tougher use patterns. The backing materials, friction compound and hardware are selected for longevity under stress. PowerStop supports this upgrade with a limited warranty that adds confidence for owners upgrading from OE pads.

• Durable friction formulation suited for towing and frequent heavy use
• Fully boxed kit with pads plus stainless-steel hardware for complete replacement
• Covered by PowerStop’s 30-Day / 12-Month / 12,000-Mile Limited Warranty

Who is this for? The PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are aimed at Dodge and Jeep owners who tow or haul regularly, operate in mountainous or severe-duty conditions, or run lifted/modified trucks and SUVs that demand stronger, fade-resistant braking. If you need a bolt-on rear pad upgrade that reduces dust, improves initial bite and holds up under heavier loads—without altering factory calipers—this kit is a practical performance choice. Confirm your vehicle fitment for the listed rear applications (Dodge Nitro 2007–11, Jeep Liberty 2008–12, Jeep Wrangler 2007–17 and Wrangler JK 2018) before installation.
