Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401011FR-2 is a 6T front brake kit in Fire Red for the Jeep Wrangler JK, Jeep Wrangler JL and Jeep Gladiator JT with factory spindles and hubs. A 6-piston, 6T caliper clamps a 13.5 inch vented, slotted rotor. It covers the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT.
The caliper body is CNC machined from U.S.-sourced aluminum, forged or billet, and finished in a powder coat. Its stainless pistons and noise suppression clips are staggered, which Baer describes as a way to limit uneven pad wear over the life of the pads.

Fluid and line service
Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, which lowers its boiling point and can lead to a soft pedal under heavy braking. Fluid should be flushed on a regular schedule and whenever calipers are rebuilt or a line is opened. Use the fluid type suited to the vehicle’s master cylinder and keep the reservoir sealed.
When pads are changed, the caliper pistons are pushed back, so the reservoir can overflow if it is left full. Remove some fluid first, and bleed the system in the correct order after any line work. Inspect steel braided lines for chafing, bulges or leaks at the fittings, and replace them if the outer braid is damaged.
- Check fluid level at each pad change
- Inspect fittings for seepage after installation
- Replace lines showing chafing or swelling

Installation notes
Because the kit is designed around factory spindles and hubs, verify that your vehicle has them before buying. Stock-height hoses are supplied, and lifted vehicles may require longer hoses. Jeep JK 2007–2018 vehicles with a 1.00 inch master cylinder are advised to add the Mopar upgrade P/N P5160050AB. Baer cannot guarantee fit with every wheel, so test the O084M template against your wheel first.

Not included: the Mopar Performance Booster/Master Cylinder P/N P5160050AB, which is recommended for some 2007–2018 Jeep JK vehicles.
