Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401011GG-2 is a Graphite Gray 6T front brake kit for Jeep Wrangler JK and JL and Jeep Gladiator JT vehicles with factory spindles and hubs. It pairs a 6-piston, 6T caliper with a 13.5 inch vented, slotted 1-piece rotor. It is a direct fit for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler JL and 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator JT.
Baer machines the caliper from CNC machined forged or billet aluminum in Phoenix, Az, then powder coats it. Stainless steel pistons and noise suppression clips sit alongside staggered pistons, a layout Baer says minimizes uneven pad wear.
Key features
- 2-piece, 6-piston, 6T fixed front caliper with a powder coated finish
- CNC machined from U.S.-sourced forged or billet aluminum
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated 13.5 inch vented rotor
- Curved vane rotor design that Baer says aids cooling and reduces brake fade
- Stainless braided steel hoses, mounting brackets and hardware supplied
Pad wear and rotor checks
Front pads wear at different rates depending on how a vehicle is driven. Off-road, long descents and slow crawling put steady heat into the pads and rotors, while daily highway driving tends to wear them more evenly over time. Checking pad thickness at each tire rotation shows how quickly material is being used and helps plan replacement before the backing plate contacts the rotor.
Rotor surfaces should be inspected for deep scoring, lipping at the outer edge, and uneven color from overheating. Slots help clear debris and gas from the pad face, but they do not prevent wear. Replace rotors when they fall below minimum thickness or show cracks, and replace pads in pairs on each axle so braking stays balanced from side to side.
- Measure pad material through the caliper window
- Look for cracks radiating from the rotor hat
- Replace pads and rotors together when wear is uneven

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is listed by the manufacturer for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK), the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator (JT), each with factory spindles and hubs. Application lines read Jeep Wrangler 07-17, Jeep Wrangler 18-25 and Jeep Gladiator 20-25.
Earlier Wrangler generations such as the TJ and LJ are not covered, and Gladiator model years before 2020 are not in the list. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit is built for vehicles with factory spindles and hubs, so check that setup before buying. Hoses are sized for stock-height vehicles, and lifted Jeeps may need longer hoses. Jeep JK models from 2007–2018 with a 1.00 inch master cylinder should upgrade to Mopar Performance Booster/Master Cylinder P/N P5160050AB. Baer cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style, so compare the O084M template with your wheel.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6T caliper and 13.5 inch rotor, along with all mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: the Mopar Performance Booster/Master Cylinder P/N P5160050AB recommended for some 2007–2018 Jeep JK vehicles.
