PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow Front Brake Pads — Carbon-Fiber Ceramic, Front Kit with Hardware for Dodge/Ram/Chrysler Trucks

PowerStop Z36 Truck & Tow front brake pads are carbon-fiber ceramic pads engineered to give trucks and SUVs stronger, quieter stopping power during towing, hauling, and heavy-duty use.

These Z36 front pads are a bolt-on performance replacement built for demanding truck and SUV duty. The kit pairs a low-dust, carbon-fiber reinforced ceramic friction material with stainless-steel shims and full installation hardware so you can swap pads without modifications. Designed to resist fade and vibration under load, the Z36 set targets drivers who need dependable braking for towing, modified vehicles, or heavier payloads.

How do these pads improve braking when towing or hauling?

Z36 pads use a carbon-fiber ceramic compound that increases friction consistency at higher temperatures, helping maintain stopping ability under repeated heavy use. Stainless-steel shims and precision profiles also reduce noise and vibration so braking feels controlled and predictable.

• Carbon-fiber ceramic formulation for heat resistance and steady bite
• Stainless-steel shims to minimize squeal and vibration
• Designed to slow fade during extended towing or downhill runs

Will these fit my truck — and how difficult is installation?

The Z36 front pad kit is a direct-fit replacement for many Chrysler, Dodge, Ram, Jeep, and Mitsubishi models listed in the product application, so no machining or modifications are required in most cases. PowerStop includes stainless-steel installation hardware to simplify a do-it-yourself swap; basic tools and a jack are all that’s typically needed.

• Direct fit for various 2005–2019 model-year trucks and SUVs as specified
• Includes necessary stainless-steel hardware for fast installation
• Simple bolt-on upgrade—no special tools or brake system changes

How do these pads compare to OEM or standard replacement pads?

Z36 Truck & Tow pads are formulated for heavier-duty applications than standard OE-style replacements. They produce less dust than many semi-metallic options while delivering stronger, more consistent deceleration under load—ideal for drivers who tow, run larger wheels, or operate in steep terrain.

• Higher stopping performance than many stock replacement pads
• Lower brake dust than many metallic formulations for cleaner wheels
• Durable construction intended for heavier duty cycles and modified vehicles

What comes in the box and what warranty covers it?

The pack contains two Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic front brake pads plus stainless-steel installation hardware to complete the brake pad change. PowerStop backs this performance-oriented pad with a limited Performance Protection Warranty to give buyers confidence in fit and function.

• Includes (2) Z36 carbon-fiber ceramic front brake pads and installation hardware
• Performance Protection Warranty: 30-Day / 12-Month / 12,000-Mile limited coverage
• Engineered for truck and SUV braking systems as a direct-fit upgrade

Who is this for: drivers of trucks and SUVs who regularly tow or haul, owners of lifted or modified vehicles seeking better fade resistance, fleet operators needing dependable stopping under load, and any consumer who wants a long-lasting, lower-dust upgrade over basic OE-style pads. Confirm vehicle fitment with the listed applications before ordering to ensure compatibility with your front rotors and 5-lug configurations where noted.
