Overview
The Baer Brakes 4401011MG-2 is a Monster Green front brake kit for the Jeep Wrangler JK, Wrangler JL and Gladiator JT. Its 6T six-piston caliper clamps a 13.5 inch vented rotor, and the kit is made for vehicles fitted with factory front spindles and hubs.
The one-piece rotor is slotted and zinc plated, and the D1247 pad type is specified with semi-metallic friction material. Hoses are steel braided and DOT approved, and mounting brackets and hardware are part of the package. Baer describes its calipers as CNC machined from forged or billet aluminum with a powder coated finish. Wheel fit is the last check: the kit lists template O084M, and Baer suggests using that template before choosing a wheel.
Key features

- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons aimed at more even pad wear
- Dual seals rated for dust, weather and pressure
- DOT approved steel braided brake hoses
- D1247 pad type with semi-metallic friction material
Before you buy
Front brake kits are usually chosen for stopping power, but the rest of the front end matters just as much. Check that the wheel bearing, hub and steering components are in good shape, because a loose hub will make even a correct brake kit feel rough. Measure the space between the caliper and the wheel spokes before ordering, and confirm the hardware and hoses supplied match what the installation needs.
Plan to replace pads and rotors together and to bleed the system after install. A used rotor that has been machined thin can cause pulsation, so a new one is usually the better choice when the old one is worn. Keep the paint off the friction surface during any masking or touch-up work.
- Confirm hub and bearing condition before assembly
- Check wheel clearance against the caliper body
- Plan a brake bleed after the hoses are fitted

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler (JK), the 2018–2025 Jeep Wrangler (JL) and the 2020–2025 Jeep Gladiator (JT).
Earlier Wrangler generations (YJ, TJ and LJ) are not on the list, and neither are Gladiator years before 2020. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Steel braided hoses are included and designed for stock height vehicles. If the Jeep has a lift, check whether longer hoses are needed. On 2007–2018 JK models with a 1.00 inch master cylinder, Baer advises upgrading to Mopar Performance Booster/Master Cylinder P/N P5160050AB.
Only a qualified technician should install front brake hardware, with the vehicle supported on stands.
