Ram 5500 Disc Brake Kit in US

A complete disc brake kit for the Ram 5500 is the most efficient way to perform a full axle disc brake service on your 5500. The friction components, rotor surface finish, pad compound, and caliper hardware on the Ram 5500 all function as an integrated system. Sourcing each element separately for the 5500 introduces compatibility variables that manifest as brake noise, vibration, or inconsistent pedal feel in the first months of service on your Ram 5500.

What Is Included in the Ram 5500 Disc Brake Kit

The kit for your Ram 5500 includes front or rear disc brake rotors at OEM or performance specification for the 5500, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation compound-matched to the Ram 5500 rotor specification, a caliper hardware kit with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the 5500, brake lubricant for correct caliper pin and shim installation on your Ram 5500, and rotor mounting hardware where required by the Ram 5500 application.

Three Kit Levels for the Ram 5500

OEM Replacement Disc Brake Kit for the Ram 5500

Restores factory braking performance exactly on your Ram 5500, the correct specification for everyday commuting and family use of the 5500 in American conditions.

Antirust Coated Disc Brake Kit for the Ram 5500

The most practical choice for American Ram 5500 drivers. Zinc-coated or e-coated rotor surfaces on the 5500 resist the rust that plain rotors develop within days of road salt exposure on your Ram 5500, maintaining consistent friction performance through multiple winter seasons.

Performance Disc Brake Kit for the Ram 5500

Uses cross-drilled and slotted rotors with high-performance pads for Ram 5500 drivers who tow, drive mountain roads, or generate sustained braking temperatures beyond what factory-spec rotors manage effectively on the 5500.

Why Correct Hardware Is as Important as the Friction Components on the Ram 5500

Caliper slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips on the Ram 5500 are the most commonly overlooked components in a brake service and the most common cause of brake noise complaints after a pad change on the 5500. Sticking slide pins on your Ram 5500 prevent the caliper from floating freely, causing the outer pad to wear faster than the inner. Every GeoBrakes disc brake kit for the 5500 includes fresh hardware as a standard component.

Signs the Disc Brake Kit on Your Ram 5500 Is Due

• Vibration or pulsation through the 5500 brake pedal during stops
• Squealing or grinding from the Ram 5500 brake corners indicating worn pads and damaged rotors
• 5500 rotor surfaces scored, grooved, or below minimum thickness specification
• Ram 5500 pulling to one side under braking
• Brake warning light illuminated on your 5500 dashboard

Why GeoBrakes for the Ram 5500 Disc Brake Kit

Our disc brake kit range for the Ram 5500 is built with coated rotor options at every kit level to address road salt corrosion that shortens rotor life on most American 5500 applications. As an authorized retailer of Cardone, EBC, Brembo, Raybestos, and Akebono, every kit for the Ram 5500 ships with full manufacturer warranty coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions - Ram 5500 Disc Brake Kits

Should I buy a front kit, rear kit, or both for my Ram 5500?

Front brakes on the Ram 5500 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and wear faster than the rear. If only one axle on your 5500 is due for service, buy that kit. If both axles on the Ram 5500 need service simultaneously, combining them in one order above $99 qualifies for free US-wide delivery.

What rotor type should I choose for my Ram 5500 in American conditions?

For everyday commuting on your Ram 5500, an antirust coated OEM kit is the most practical choice, delivering factory-level performance while resisting the corrosion plain rotors develop rapidly on the 5500 in road salt conditions. For towing or performance driving with your Ram 5500, a drilled-and-slotted performance kit provides improved heat management.

How long do disc brake kits last on a Ram 5500?

Under normal American driving, a quality disc brake kit on the Ram 5500 typically lasts 50,000 to 70,000 kilometres. Antirust coated kits tend to last longer on the 5500 because corrosion is a major cause of early rotor replacement on American Ram 5500 vehicles.
