PowerStop Rear Brake Pads for Jeep Wrangler 2018–2025 — Z36 Truck & Tow Carbon-Fiber Ceramic Rear Kit with Hardware

PowerStop Z36 Rear Brake Pads are a bolt-on carbon-fiber ceramic upgrade that delivers stronger, fade-resistant stopping power and low dust for 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler rear brakes.

If you tow, haul, or drive a modified Wrangler, the Z36 Truck & Tow rear pad kit supplies a heavier-duty friction material and stainless-steel hardware designed to handle the added workloads that stock pads struggle with. The kit ships with two carbon-fiber ceramic rear pads and all required stainless-steel installation hardware, so you can swap pads without modifying the braking system. These pads are engineered to fit specific JL-body Jeep Wranglers and later BR2/BR6 brake codes with 342mm rear rotors; always verify fitment before purchase.

How do these pads improve braking when towing or hauling?

The Z36 compound blends a low-dust ceramic matrix with carbon-fiber reinforcement to increase friction consistency under stress, helping preserve pedal feel and shorten stopping distance during heavy loads. Stainless-steel shims reduce noise and vibration so everyday drivability remains comfortable.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic formula for higher thermal stability and consistent stopping
• Designed to resist brake fade on sustained downhill or heavy-load runs
• Stainless-steel shims cut noise and help maintain smooth pedal feedback
• Includes all stainless-steel installation hardware for correct fit and alignment

Will installing Z36 pads require modifications to my Jeep Wrangler?

No modifications are required—the Z36 rear pads are a direct-fit replacement made to match OE mounting points and pad geometry. The kit contains the stainless-steel hardware needed to mount the pads properly so you can complete the swap as a DIY job or have a technician install them quickly.

• Direct-fit design for compatible JL and BR2/BR6 rear brake applications
• All necessary stainless-steel installation hardware included
• Compatible with lifted trucks and larger wheel/tire packages when fitment is confirmed
• Simple bolt-on upgrade with standard brake tools

How do these pads perform compared with standard OE replacement pads?

Compared to many factory replacement pads, Z36 Truck & Tow pads emphasize higher stopping power, improved fade resistance, and longer effective life when used under demanding conditions. They also produce less brake dust than many metallic-heavy formulations, keeping wheels cleaner over time.

• Higher stopping performance under load versus typical OE replacement compounds
• Reduced brake dust for cleaner wheels and lower maintenance
• Engineered for durability in towing, mountainous terrain, and fleet use
• Backed by a multi-tier limited warranty for added assurance

What vehicle years and brake codes do these rear pads fit?

This rear pad kit fits select Jeep Wrangler JL models from 2018 onward and specified 2019–2020 Rubicon variants, as well as 2021–2025 Wranglers with BR2 or BR6 rear brake codes that use 342mm rotors. Always confirm your exact model and brake code before ordering to ensure correct compatibility.
