Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401011HO-2 is a Hugger Orange front brake kit for the Jeep Wrangler JK, Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. A 6T six-piston caliper clamps a 13.5 inch vented rotor, and the kit is intended for factory front spindles and hubs.
The package includes a one-piece slotted, zinc plated rotor, D1247 pads with semi-metallic friction material, and steel braided hoses with DOT approval. Mounting brackets and hardware are also included. The caliper is CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum with a Hugger Orange powder coat. The O084M template can be used to check wheel clearance before a wheel is chosen.
Key features
- Hugger Orange powder coat on the 6T caliper
- Vented rotor in one piece, slotted and zinc plated
- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons for more even pad wear
- Dust, weather and pressure seals are T compliant.
- DOT approved steel braided hoses
- Semi-metallic D1247 pad type
Hose and line care
Steel braided hoses are a common upgrade because the outer braid resists abrasion and the inner liner holds its shape under pressure. Their service life depends on routing, since a hose that rubs on a bracket or spring will wear through over time. Check the route at every wheel removal and make sure the hose has room to move through full suspension travel.
Hoses that have been in service for a long time can swell or crack at the fittings. Inspect the fittings for seepage and tighten them only to the specified torque. If a hose is replaced, bleed the system afterward so the pedal feel stays firm and consistent.
- Check hose routing clearance at full steering lock
- Look for seepage around each fitting
- Replace any hose that shows bulges or cracks

Front brake installation calls for a qualified technician and a vehicle safely supported on stands.
