Maximum Bite at the Front Axle When the Truck Is Loaded
DBA DB2705XP is the Xtreme Performance front pad for the 2019-2024 Ram 2500 and 3500 (DJ) 6.7L 4WD. It shares the 214.2 by 71.8 by 20.7 mm shape with the Street Performance version, so choosing it is a compound decision: the XP mix is a low-copper carbon-fibre semi-metallic built for maximum bite under towing and GVM loads.
Key Features
- XP compound formulated for maximum bite under towing and gross vehicle mass loads.
- Semi-metallic carbon-fibre friction material with low copper content.
- Slotted friction face and shims supplied.
- TSP scorched surface treatment for a faster bed-in.
- Identical 214.2 mm by 71.8 mm by 20.7 mm footprint to DB2705SP, making it a drop-in compound upgrade.
- Heaviest pad set in this family at 4.09 kg packaged.
- Supersedes the earlier DB2705 part number.

About DBA
Across DBA's heavy-duty applications the XP compound is the answer to fade under load: a low-copper carbon-fibre semi-metallic that keeps its coefficient as the pad heats. The backing plate is shared with the SP version so the caliper hardware does not change. DBA DB2705XP is the XP compound on the Ram HD front shape.
FAQ
Do these pads fit both front calipers?Yes. The set contains four pads, two per caliper, and DBA does not hand them left or right for this application.
How does it differ from the SP front pad?Only in friction compound. The backing plate, dimensions and caliper fit are the same, so it is a straight upgrade path.
Is it the right choice for a truck that tows?That is the intent. DBA positions the XP compound for maximum bite under towing and GVM loads.
Is the pad chamfered?No. This version is slotted and shimmed without a chamfer.
What does a set weigh?4.09 kg packaged, the heaviest set in this Ram HD family.
Which rear pad matches it?DB2703XP is the rear pad in the same compound for the same trucks.
Does the pad need a specific rotor?No specific rotor is mandated, though DBA pairs its performance compounds with slotted 4000 and 5000 Series discs.
What year range is confirmed?The manufacturer listing runs 2019 onward. The 2024 end year here follows the published range on the matching rear pad.
What warranty applies?12 months or 20,000 km / 12,000 miles.
Installation Instructions
- Have the pads fitted by a qualified technician in line with DBA's friction guidance.
- Support the truck on rated stands, remove both front wheels and check whether the outgoing pads are the SP or XP compound, since both share this shape.
- Measure the front rotors against the minimum thickness specification and inspect for heat checking.
- Retract the pistons and watch the fluid level, because the heavy-duty front caliper pushes a large volume back up the system.
- Clean the carrier abutments and slider pins so the 20.7 mm pads move freely under towing loads.
- Fit the four pads with their shims, refit the caliper, pump the pedal firm and confirm the wheels spin freely.
- 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.
