Overview
The Baer Brakes D0702A is a rear ceramic brake pad set for the 2006–2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Mega Cab with 8 lug wheels, and for the 2001–2008 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500. The set comes as 4 pads for one rear axle, and each vehicle entry is qualified for the ceramic material version.
Built as OE-replacement pads from a premium high friction ceramic compound, these rear pads offer long pad life and low rotor wear with minimal noise and dust. Abutment clips and mounting hardware come with the set, which suits predictable rear braking for daily use on pickups.

Rear brakes on heavy pickups
Rear brakes on a heavy pickup carry a large share of stopping work when the truck is loaded or towing. Ceramic pads offer a steady feel with low dust, but they still need proper bedding and regular inspection to keep rear braking balanced with the front.
Before towing, test the pedal at low speed in a clear area and check for pull, noise or vibration. Inspect rear pads at each tire rotation, since uneven wear on one side can point to a sticking caliper slide or a bracket that needs cleaning.
Parking brake function should be checked after a rear pad change, because on many trucks the parking brake mechanism shares parts with the rear brake assembly. Keep lubricant to the contact points only, and check that the caliper moves freely.
- Test pedal feel before loading
- Check rear rotors for scoring
- Inspect abutment clips at every change
