Overview
The 4401006R is a red front Pro Plus brake kit built around a 2-piece 6-piston, 6P fixed caliper and a 14.0 inch vented, slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor. It fits the 2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT, on vehicles with OE spindles and hubs.
The 14 inch Pro Plus is designed for wheels 18 inch or larger and uses the D0731 pad type. Wheel styles vary widely between manufacturers, so fit into every wheel is not guaranteed. Check clearance with the Q082P template against the wheel you plan to run before installing.
Key features
- Two-piece, six-piston 6P caliper manufactured in Phoenix, AZ, with a red powder-coated finish.
- CNC machined components made from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum.
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips.
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear.
- Dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure.
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat, pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware.
Pad choice and bedding in
Brake pad compound has a large effect on how a big-caliper front kit feels on the road and on the trail. Softer compounds bite earlier and wear faster, while harder compounds run cooler under repeated stops but may need more pedal effort when cold. Match the compound to how you drive, and avoid mixing pad families on the same axle.
New pads and rotors should be bedded in before hard use. Make a series of moderate stops from a moderate speed to transfer an even layer of friction material onto the rotor face. Skipping this step can cause squeal, vibration or uneven stopping when the brakes heat up on a long descent.
- Torque wheel lugs to the vehicle specification after the first few drives
- Check brake fluid level and condition at each service
- Inspect hoses for swelling, cracks or leaks after installation
- Keep rotor faces clean and free of grease

Vehicle fitment
Fitment covers the 2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK), the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator (JT), each with OE spindles and hubs.
Installation notes
Because the fitment notes call for OE spindles and hubs, check your front end before buying. The rotors come pre-assembled with stainless hardware, and all mounting brackets are supplied. Verify wheel clearance with the Q082P template before mounting. Brake components affect stopping, so a qualified technician should complete the installation.
What’s included
