Detailed Product Description

The DuraGo BR5522 is a full cast disc brake rotor constructed from high-quality cast iron, providing a solid and reliable braking surface. Its vented design enhances airflow to reduce heat buildup during braking, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and reduces the risk of rotor warping. With a nominal thickness of 1.29 inches and a discard thickness of 1.21 inches, this rotor meets precise specifications to ensure safe replacement and optimal performance. The rotor’s 11.87-inch outside diameter and 6-bolt mounting pattern with a 5.5-inch bolt circle diameter make it compatible with a range of Chevrolet, GMC, and Jeep models, including the Blazer, Cherokee, Grand Wagoneer, and K1500 series.
