Nope, a few have tried and failed. Brembo has no interest in producing them either as each sub model of the Ram brand is slightly different. Next best kit is Baer breaks @ 3900 a unit fronts only.
"ok i just gave myself a brain tumor figuring this out....bear with me
the aspen/durango/ram/cherokee all share the same caliper mounting bracket
the hub and calipers are the same on the srt-8 cherokee and durango....
the knuckle on the aspen/durango is the same and that spindle crosses to the ram 1500
so by all those calculations the 2012 jeep brembos will bolt to our factory spindle (provided that the srt-8 cherokee doesnt have a different spindle then the reg GC) the things that dont cross tells me that the rotor is going to be the variable since the hub on the ram and durango doesnt cross i am betting the depth is the issue but it might just be a matter of using the srt-8 cherokee rotors as well as calipers
sorry if thats confusing but you should see the piece of paper in front of me...."
The above method was tried in various configurations and failed.

Odd that they do rotors and pads, but no calipers. Maybe its a deal they have w/ the OEM to not compete on the calipers.
Imagine paying over $5k for a pair of rotor/pad/caliper's ?

If you have a 2wd you can adapt the earlier SRT-10 brakes. 2wd spindles haven't changed from the start of the 3G run to at least the end of the 4th gen run; SRT spindles are just slightly different 2wd spindles. When Mopar made the 4G based Urban Ram concept for SEMA back in 2012, they used the earlier SRT spindles to mount a set of '05-'06 4 piston calipers to it:

If you can find a set of spindles, you have the option of these or the 2004 calipers (big 2 piston sliders from the 2500 trucks painted red), which are cheaper and easier to find. Both use the same 15" rotor. Due to the difference in how/where the UBJ attaches, the alignment would have to be adjusted a bit (SRT trucks were aligned different than regular 1500's with a combo of the spindle and different LCA's).
