Overview
The Baer Brakes 53006-0967 is a rear rotor and pad combo kit built for 5-lug Dodge Ram 1500 Classic trucks, excluding Mega Cab and SRT10 models, and it also fits the Dodge Durango and Chrysler Aspen. Check your model year against the fitment details below before ordering, since coverage for each truck is narrower than a single year range.
The kit pairs slotted, drilled and zinc-plated cast iron rear rotors with ceramic performance street pads and stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware. The Claw line balances performance, appearance and everyday comfort, and the rotors are one-piece full-cast with a directional braking surface.

- Ceramic performance street pads
- Stainless-steel abutment and noise suppression hardware
- Directional braking surface on one-piece full-cast rotors
- Direct bolt-on replacement that Baer says needs no modifications
- Premium grade kit sold as a complete set
Truck rear brake checks
Rear brake work on a half-ton pickup or SUV is often done on a truck that carries loads or tows. Heavier use increases heat in the rear brakes, so ceramic street pads suit daily road driving better than repeated hard stops. Inspect the rear rotors for heat checking after any long downhill descent.
Rear kits for these trucks should be matched to the axle, lug pattern and brake setup before ordering. The rear axle carries a different load from the front, so a rear rotor and pad set is usually replaced together with its hardware. Keep the caliper guide pins clean and lubricated, and confirm the parking brake works once the job is complete.
- Confirm the lug pattern matches the wheels
- Inspect rear rotors after towing or heavy loads
- Replace worn abutment clips when the pads change
- Keep the parking brake adjusted
