Dynamic Friction 7004-54181 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Overview

This DFC disc brake kit is built for Ford truck applications that use front and rear brake service with rear drums and a shoe kit. It combines drilled and slotted rotor design with DFC rotors and drums for a performance-focused brake service solution. Part number 7004-54181 is listed for 1980-1989 Ford F-250 applications.

Key Features

• Drilled and slotted rotor design for improved pad bite and debris clearing.
• Vented rotor construction helps reduce heat buildup during braking.
• GEOSPEC coated rotors are engineered to OEM specifications for durability and stability.
• Non-directional finish promotes faster pad bed-in and smoother braking.
• Each rotor is inspected for balance and critical dimensions to support OE-level fit and function.

Detailed Description

Dynamic Friction 7004-54181 is a disc brake kit designed around DFC Premium Performance Brake Rotors and matching drum components for service on 1980-1989 Ford F-250 models with rear drums and a shoe kit. The drilled holes and slots are intended to improve initial pad engagement, reduce heat accumulation, and clear brake dust and road debris from the rotor surface. The rotor casting uses a G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification, then receives precision machining and a non-directional finish to support even pad bedding and consistent stopping feel. This kit is a practical choice for Ford F-250 brake service when the goal is OE-style durability with a performance-oriented rotor design. Part number 7004-54181 is also identified with DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver with DFC Drums.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake fade from excess rotor heat.
• Reduced pad bite in wet conditions.
• Brake noise caused by uneven pad bedding.
• Debris buildup on the rotor surface.
• Wear concerns when replacing service components on Ford F-250 brake systems.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle uses rear drums and a shoe kit before ordering. Confirm the application against the existing brake setup on the Ford F-250, since this kit is listed for front and rear service with rear drums. Follow proper rotor cleaning and pad bedding procedures after installation to help achieve consistent braking performance.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that these rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for balance, and checked against critical OE specifications. The product is backed by a 12 month or 12,000 mile limited warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
