Key features
- Carbon and ceramic friction formula
- Thermal scorched finish
- Chamfered and slotted like the OE pads
- Powdercoated backing plate

- Hi-temp lubricant included
- Direct fit with the stock caliper, rear position
Trailer work and rear pads
Trucks and SUVs that tow or carry heavy loads ask more of the rear brakes on the way down a grade. Pad compound matters here, because sustained braking builds heat faster than brief stops do. A rear pad formulated for heavier duty can help the braking system stay consistent when the load is up.
When fitting new rear pads, check the rotor surface and thickness before reassembly. Scoring or heat checks will wear new material quickly. Clean the caliper bracket, lubricate the contact points where the pad backing plate rests, and test the pedal before driving. Rotors and calipers are sold separately, so inspect them as part of the job.
- Measure rotor thickness before reinstalling
- Use the supplied shims on the backing plates
- Test the pedal in a parking lot before towing
