Dynamite Friction 4512-40149 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Ram 2500, 3500, and 4000

DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads and hardware is a front disc brake kit for select 2009-2018 Dodge Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 models, plus 2011-2018 Ram 4000 applications. Part number 4512-40149 combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware in one service kit for a complete front brake refresh.

Built for Ram 2500 front brake replacement and Ram 3500 front brake service, this kit is aimed at OE-style fitment, stable pedal feel, and reduced brake noise. The DFC 5000 Advanced pad formulation and GeoSpec coated rotor design are matched for everyday driving and heavy-duty use.

• Front disc brake kit for select Ram 2500, Ram 3500, and Ram 4000 applications
• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time and more immediate stopping response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• GeoSpec coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• Brake hardware designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

DFC GeoSpec rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications and machined to tight tolerances, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports quieter operation and consistent pad contact. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help control brake noise and harshness. Part number 4512-40149 is a practical choice for drivers looking for a front brake kit for a 2011-2018 Ram 2500 or 2011-2018 Ram 3500 with matched components.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Brake pulsation or rough braking feel from worn front rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front axle service only. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a brake job. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface before installation, inspect caliper condition, and follow the pad bed-in procedure recommended by the vehicle or brake manufacturer. Verify front fitment for your exact Ram 2500, Ram 3500, or Ram 4000 configuration before ordering.

Quality Assurance

DFC machines each rotor to OE-style tolerances and inspects critical dimensions before release. Every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
