Built for vehicles that tow or run larger tires, the Dynamic Friction Company Ultimate Duty Performance front brake pads, part number 1400-1084-00, combine an aggressive initial bite with high resistance to brake fade. They fit many vehicles, among them the 2011-2018 Ram 1500, 2006-2010 Dodge Ram 1500 and 2008-2012 Jeep Wrangler, as a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
DFC aims its Ultimate Duty line at vehicles whose brakes are asked to do more. This front disc brake pad set is designed to grab firmly from the first press of the pedal and to resist fade when the brakes are worked hard, such as on a long downhill grade with a trailer behind you.
- Aggressive initial bite: a strong, immediate grab as soon as the pedal is applied.
- Made with towing in mind: the manufacturer calls these pads crucial when towing, particularly downhill.
- High resistance to brake fade: designed to keep working when the brakes are used hard.
- Improved braking performance: especially for vehicles running larger tires.
If the brake pads on your 2011-2018 Ram 1500 are worn thin, squealing or grinding, these pads replace them at the front axle. For even, balanced braking, service the pads on both sides of the axle at the same time. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list of vehicles and engines.
