A 214-Millimetre Copper-Free Front Pad for the Ram Heavy Duty
DBA DB2705SP is the front axle counterpart to the DB2703SP rear pad on the 2019-2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 (DJ) 6.7L 4WD. At 214.2 mm long and 20.7 mm thick it is among the largest pads in DBA's street catalogue, and like the rear it is copper free, chamfered, slotted, shimmed and certified to ECE R90.
Key Features
- SP compound built for improved response over the OE pad with low dust and low wear.
- Copper-free semi-metallic carbon-fibre friction material.
- ECE R90 certified against the original equipment pad performance.
- Chamfered, slotted and shimmed for quiet operation.
- TSP scorched friction surface for a shorter bed-in.
- Very large 214.2 mm by 71.8 mm heavy-duty front pad at 20.7 mm thick.
- Axle set of four pads weighing 3.8 kg packaged.
Fitment
| Vehicle | Axle and restrictions |
|---|---|
| Ram 2500 (DJ) | 2019-2024, 6.7L, 4WD, front axle |
| Ram 3500 (DJ) | 2019-2024, 6.7L, 4WD, front axle |
DBA's own page for this part number does not carry a vehicle table. The application shown here is taken from the identically shaped XP sibling DB2705XP, which is catalogued for the 6.7L 4WD Ram HD, so treat DBA DB2705SP fitment as high-confidence but inferred from the matching front shape rather than from an SP-specific table.

About DBA
DBA's Street Performance range is the copper-free, R90-certified tier built for daily driving rather than track work. On heavy-duty trucks the front pads carry most of the braking load, which is why this shape is so large. DBA DB2705SP is the SP compound in that front shape.
FAQ
What kind of use is the Street Performance compound built for?DBA aims SP at daily road and light towing duty, where the priority is quiet, consistent pedal feel from cold rather than the higher temperature range of the Xtreme Performance compound.
How is the fitment established?DBA's page for this part number does not publish a vehicle table. The identically dimensioned XP version, DB2705XP, is catalogued for the 6.7L 4WD Ram HD, and both share the same 214.2 mm shape.
How does it pair with the rear pad?The matching rear part number in the same compound is DB2703SP, which keeps the friction characteristics consistent front to rear.
Is the pad copper free?Yes, and it is certified to ECE R90.
How thick is the pad?20.7 mm overall thickness on a 214.2 mm by 71.8 mm backing plate.
Is it chamfered?Yes, chamfered, slotted and shimmed.
Does the box cover both front wheels?Yes. Four pads is one complete axle.
What is the packaged weight?3.8 kg.
What warranty applies?12 months or 20,000 km / 12,000 miles.
Installation Instructions
- Have the pads fitted by a qualified technician, as DBA specifies for its friction range.
- Support the truck on rated stands and remove both front wheels; the 214.2 mm pad is one of the largest DBA supplies, so allow room to manoeuvre it into the carrier.
- Inspect the front rotors for scoring and measure remaining thickness before fitting new friction.
- Retract the pistons slowly and monitor the master cylinder reservoir, because a heavy-duty front caliper displaces a large volume of fluid.
- Clean the carrier abutments so the long pads seat square, then fit the four pads with their shims and chamfers correctly oriented.
- Refit the caliper, pump the pedal until firm, and confirm neither front wheel drags.
- Bed in on a clear road: from 50 km/h (30 mph) brake down to 10 km/h (5 mph) with medium pedal pressure without coming to a stop.
- Repeat that cycle about ten times with roughly 30 seconds of rolling cool-down between each one.
- Avoid heavy or prolonged braking for the first 200 km (120 miles) so the friction transfer layer stabilises.
