When truck enthusiasts hear the term "bolt-on" or "easy installation," many will roll their eyes and may even back away from the claim, as they know it's seldom true.
While some performance brake kit installations can be a bit difficult and time-consuming, we want to show you in this installation that the AERO6-DM front kits from Wilwood Disc Brakes are not that difficult and do not take too much time at all.
Besides some possible backing plate trimming (varies depending on the application) and brake line bleeding to finish the installation, they truly are bolt-on.
AERO6-DM 6-piston calipers were designed to directly mount to OE spindles to provide a large-capacity brake torque solution with large diameter well-vented rotors for heavyweight and extreme-duty vehicles.
These direct mount kits for trucks and SUVs provide enhanced braking power with improved pedal feel and confidence to better handle towing and overlanding gear weight. Kits will fit most 17-inch (or larger) wheels and even bigger tire upgrades that aid your off-roading prowess.
The kits are fully compatible with OE master cylinder output and work with ABS setups. Wilwood's OEM-style one-piece rotors provide maximum cooling for sustained-high-heat durability for those wanting to take advantage of added gear to make camping and overlanding safer and more enjoyable.
