Overview
The Baer Brakes 4261636B-2 is a black 6T front brake upgrade for the 2010–2026 Ford F-150, Raptor included. The kit combines a six-piston caliper with a 13.5 inch vented rotor and is sold as a kit for 2WD and 4WD trucks.
The 6T caliper is a 2-piece, direct-mount design with six pistons, matched to a 1-piece slotted, zinc-plated rotor. The rotor is cast with a curved vane pattern that aids cooling, braking consistency and resistance to fade. The caliper is made in Phoenix, Arizona, and the pads are the widely used D1247 type.
The kit cannot be guaranteed to fit every wheel style, so check the O080M template against your wheel before installing the kit.
Key features
- Six-piston, 2-piece direct-mount 6T caliper in a black powder coated finish
- Caliper machined by CNC from forged or billet aluminum sourced in the US
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered piston layout meant to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure, with dust and weather seals called T compliant
- 1-piece slotted, zinc-plated rotor with a vented design
- Steel braided stainless hoses with DOT approval, plus mounting brackets and hardware
Before you buy
Front brake kits change more than stopping power. A larger caliper and rotor alter the unsprung weight at each corner, which can affect how the front end feels over washboard surfaces and on steep descents. Before buying, confirm that the wheels clear the caliper and rotor, since wheel offset and spoke design decide clearance as much as diameter does. Tire size and wheel weight also change how a truck brakes, so consider them together with the brake upgrade.
Pads and rotors wear as a pair. When pads are replaced, inspect the rotor face for grooves, heat cracks and uneven thickness, and replace the rotor if it falls below the minimum thickness marked on the rotor or given in a service manual. Caliper slide pins and boots should be cleaned and lubricated at each pad change, because seized pins cause uneven wear. Braided hoses last longer than rubber ones but still need checks for chafing against suspension parts.
- Brake fluid: flush on a regular service schedule, since moisture lowers boiling point
- Pad choice: match the compound to towing, trail or daily use
- Wheel clearance: check caliper and rotor fit before installation
- Hose routing: inspect at full suspension travel on lifted trucks

Vehicle fitment
The kit is designed for the 2010–2026 Ford F-150, Raptor included, in 2WD and 4WD configurations. It fits Ford F150 10-26 trucks.
Other Ford vehicles and F-150 model years outside 2010–2026 are not covered. Confirm fit for your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Lifted trucks may need longer hoses, because the included hoses are built for stock height vehicles. Verify the 17.0 inch minimum wheel diameter and the O080M template against your wheels first.
What’s included
