The 390x36mm 2-piece rotor sheds heat far better than the factory single-piece disc, cutting fade during hard stops with a loaded bed or trailer. Every kit ships as a complete bolt-on system with pads, lines, and hardware so the truck is ready to drive as soon as it comes off the lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotora RG608 6-piston front caliper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e390x36mm 2-piece directional rotor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeat-treated, zinc-plated disc face for corrosion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHD floating drive hardware for consistent rotor centering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHD graphite-metallic brake pads included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel braided DOT-compliant brake lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS45C steel caliper mounting brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in 10 caliper colors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on fitment, no cutting or drilling required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChoice of slotted or drilled rotor face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear Range\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2011-2019\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRam\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1500\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHDK.DS-390x36.01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCaliper Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6-Piston RG608\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotor Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e390x36mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotor Construction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2-Piece Directional\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBell Hat Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eS45C Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDisc Options\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlotted (S) or Drilled (X)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHD Graphite-Metallic, Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrake Lines\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStainless Steel Braided, DOT Compliant\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChassis\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDS (Classic)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUPC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eN\/A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair of RG608 6-piston calipers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePair of 390x36mm 2-piece rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHD graphite-metallic brake pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eS45C caliper mounting brackets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless steel braided brake lines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll mounting hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAbout Rotora\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRotora designs and manufactures big brake kits and performance rotors for street, tow, and track applications.
