Power Stop Brake Kit For 2011-2018 Ram 2500 Ram 3500 8 Lug - Front Truck & Tow Carbon Fiber Ceramic Brake Pads and Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors Replacement, K5411-36

Pads and rotors all shipped in one box. Pads had some chipping and denting but there wasn't time to return as I was awaiting this part. I tow an enclosed trailer and wanted the best brakes I can buy.Fast forward 3 months later...both rotors have heavy cracking in them, as in dangerously large cracks connecting to the drilled holes.Called powerstop and was told to send email and they would replace. Three weeks later no new rotors. Called and began the process over again. Finally got new rotors under warranty. Asked "what about the pads", which they said to re-use. I said "no one puts used pads on new rotors", which was replied with "people do it all the time". I'm an ASE Mastertech, and I'm not putting use pads on new rotors. Also, these pads/rotors were broken in correctly.Long story short, I ordered some Wagner pads to replace part of the $320 kit I had just bought. Old pads had some damage and significant grooving from the cracked rotors, would have had no surface contact reinstalled.I thought these would better and paid a premium for such, rather than getting lifetime rotors from the vatozone for 1/3 the price.Keep in mind these pictures were taken less than 45 days after install, so maybe 5000 miles on them.I'm not terribly impressed with their customer service either. First, not responding without a follow-up, and secondly, for not replacing the entire product.The replacement rotors seem to be doing fine with the Wagner severe duty pads. I will update on those when/if I see the cracks return.Word of advise, spend your hrs money elsewhere for a higher quality product with a comprehensive warranty that doesn't require nagging them to hold up their end of the deal.

PowerStop makes quality brakes. I'm not sure they really stop noticeably better than OEM, but they do just as well and are a bit cheaper while being a slotted and drilled upgrade. I'm not super hard on my brakes anyway.Con: I know how to install brakes. They never send enough of the brake lube, so I have extra of the good stuff. I also did the bed-in process exactly as the instructions say. Even then, this set of brakes squeals badly. This isn't my first set of PowerStop brakes, but it is the first ones I've had this issue with.

Installed the pads and rotors. Used the brake grease that came with the kit. Changed all hardware. I took extra time to clean everything and grease all contact points. Performed the break in procedure exactly how I was supposed to. I even printed out the instructions and found a secluded backroad to do it in. 3rd time I drove the truck brakes started to squeak while braking at low speeds. This is extremely frustrating. I have never had brakes start to squeak right after changing them out.

These are definitely an upgrade over stock. Had them on my 08 2500 mega cab and put over 50k on them partial towing light loads and now my 15 2500 mega cab1: They don't scream while braking2: Brake dust is almost none existent3: Just the look alone is better than stock rusty edge rotors4: Can't 100% tell the difference in braking vs stock but the stopping power does seem more constantDislikes1: nothing really. you can't complain about the price for what your getting.

I had these rotors and pads on my ‘04 ram 2500 and just put them on my 2013 ram 2500 once again. These are awesome! Noticeably better braking performance over OEM and no brake dust. They also last forever, I had them for over five years and when I sold the truck they were still nice and meaty. I highly recommend Powerstop products.

The kit was complete and my husband was happy with the rotors. However when he was installing the brake pads a clip broke on one of them. He had to go to a local automotive store and purchase a set of pads. So this added to our expense for the brakes. I have tried to contact seller but so far have had no luck in getting a partial refund. Hopefully we can hear back from them as the extra sets of pads was $87.00.

Purchased these and had my local dodge dealership install, they did the break in period, cleaned the parts and cleaned the area before install. The next morning I took rig to work and can’t believe the amount of noise these produce…… is this normal or??? Took back to dealership and they cleaned the area again with zero difference in noise. Disappointed!!

I have a Ram 2500 I put these brakes on 4/28/20 (front & back pads/rotors). I tow frequently anywhere from 4-8k lbs, I use the truck for snow removal in the winter, and I do approx 25k miles per year (mostly highway). I am also not the easiest on brakes. The truck alone weighs 8k if you include the bed cap and all the tools I carry. These brakes lasted me 62k miles over 2.5 years. I let them wear down a little too much and my rotors got gauged up. Replacing everything with the same setup again. If I had been proactive I would’ve just replaced the pads sooner to try to extend the life of rotors, but I am happy with the 62k miles I got out of them. Highly recommend. I hope the new set doesn’t disappoint.

Well install complete but at this point I would not recommend. The most challenging install I have had..EVER!! Doing breaks for 30 years attention to OEM specs does not appear to be a concern. Shims did not fit (had to file out slots). Brake lines to Callipers did not fit (had to file caliber to make room for brake line fitting) and took a lot of time to get the caliper to bolt to then take assembly. The threads were a mess. I only hope there is greater attention to detail on the interior working parts of the caliper but I’m not sure at this point. May have waisted $900 if this doesn’t work out and not looking good at this point. Suggest you spend your money on a domestic manufacturer. 2012 Ram 3500 4x4.

Got all the parts, everything in good shape. Will update review after installation and testing.
