BRAKES
Stop Hard. Haul Harder.
From daily towing to severe-duty hauling, Docâs Diesel brake kits are built to handle heat, weight, and real-world abuse. Drilled and slotted rotors paired with ceramic pads deliver cooler braking, reduced fade, and confident stopping power, while our carbon rotors and severe-duty pads are engineered for trucks that work at the limit.
brake kits that match your workload
DRILLED & SLOTTED ROTORS + CERAMIC BRAKE PADS
Best For
- Daily driver who tows occasionally or seasonally
- Runs mountain passes, steep grades, or varied terrain
- Drives in wet or mixed weather conditions frequently
- Performance-focused or upgraded build wanting aggressive bite
- Wants clean wheels and a quiet, premium ride
Why It Works
- Precision-drilled holes shed heat fast
- Directional slots clear dust & debris
- Zinc-plated for corrosion resistance
- Ceramic compound absorbs vibration
- Low dust keeps wheels clean
- Rotor-friendly â reduces wear & scoring
Change Intervals
Pads: Every 30,000â70,000 miles
Rotors: Every 50,000â70,000 miles
Towing frequently? Inspect every 15,000â20,000 miles
HIGH-CARBON ROTORS + SEMI-METALLIC BRAKE PADS
Best For
- Work truck under consistent, heavy towing load â every day
- Fleet vehicle or commercial use needing maximum service life
- Flat-terrain hauler: jobsite, ranch, or regular trailer runs
- Owner who wants set-it-and-forget-it reliability under real load
- Diesel that sees sustained punishment mile after mile
Why It Works
- High carbon alloy iron resists warping
- Absorbs sustained heat without fade
