Features, Description, Q&A, Specs & Installation
Heavy-Duty Brake Upgrade. Designed specifically for 2011 - 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 HD models, the SSBC-USA Barbarian Caliper and Brake Pad Upgrade Kit provides a front braking solution engineered to deliver improved clamping force for heavy-duty stopping while offering better heat management compared to stock calipers. Supplied with two 8-piston direct fit aluminum calipers, four semi-metallic pads, and caliper installation hardware, this coordinated package brings the primary upgrade components together in one kit. Its direct replacement configuration supports a performance-focused approach to improving front braking capability with purpose-built components.
Construction and Appearance. Durable aluminum forms the structural foundation of the 8-piston calipers, providing robust construction designed to withstand hydraulic pressure, braking forces, repeated heat cycles, and demanding operation. A clear anodized finish gives the calipers a clean metallic appearance while complementing their performance-focused design and helping create a refined presentation. The semi-metallic pads feature matte black finish backplates, adding a contrasting appearance to the complete braking package. American-made caliper construction further contributes to the quality-focused character of the kit, while the included installation hardware provides coordinated components for assembly. Strong aluminum construction, substantial piston configuration, semi-metallic friction components, carefully finished surfaces, and quality-focused manufacturing combine to create a durable brake upgrade package with a professional appearance.
Installation. Installing the brake upgrade kit involves safely supporting the vehicle, removing the corresponding existing braking components, and preparing the appropriate mounting and hydraulic connection areas. The direct replacement design supports straightforward integration with the existing attachment points, while the included caliper installation hardware provides the necessary components for securing the new assemblies. Before completing installation, verify that both calipers, all four pads, the installation hardware, and the corresponding brake connections are correctly positioned and securely engaged. Following installation, complete the appropriate hydraulic brake service procedure and inspect the entire assembly for secure attachment, proper operation, and leakage before returning the vehicle to regular use.
Application. This SSBC-USA Barbarian Caliper and Brake Pad Upgrade Kit fits 2011 - 2019 GMC Sierra 3500 HD models. It enhances the vehicle by providing improved front clamping force for heavy-duty stopping and better heat management compared to stock calipers. Its American-made 8-piston aluminum calipers, semi-metallic pads, coordinated finishes, and included caliper installation hardware further contribute to a comprehensive and performance-focused front brake upgrade.
