Overview
The Baer Brakes 6T front brake system, part 4261637MG-2, is a six-piston front brake kit for the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco, excluding Raptor and Sport models. It pairs a 6T caliper finished in Monster Green with a 5 inch, 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor, and it uses the popular D1247 pad type. Shoppers looking for a Bronco front big brake kit will find the caliper, rotor, hoses and mounting brackets grouped together under one part number.
The rotor is purpose cast with a curved vane design that Baer describes as aiding cooling, consistent braking and reduced brake fade. The caliper is CNC machined from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum, with a powder coated finish, stainless steel pistons and staggered pistons intended to minimize uneven pad wear.
Key features
- Six-piston, 2-piece 6T caliper with fixed radial mount, manufactured in Phoenix, AZ
- Staggered pistons to minimize uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated vented rotor
- Stainless braided hoses and all mounting brackets included
Choosing the right setup
Wheel offset and tire height decide how much room the 6T caliper has behind the spokes. Dropping a wider tire onto a narrow wheel can reduce clearance, so measure the caliper position against the spoke gaps before committing to a wheel. A taller tire also changes final drive ratio and brake load, which makes it worth thinking about pad compound and rotor cooling at the same time.
Pad choice depends on how the vehicle is used. Trail driving with long descents and mud benefits from pads that tolerate heat, while mostly street driving may favor quieter compounds. Keep the caliper slide pins clean and lubricated, and check pad thickness at each tire rotation. Uneven pad wear usually points to a sticking slide or a seized piston, so address it before the rotor is damaged.

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits the 2021–2026 Ford Bronco, with Raptor and Sport models excluded. Confirm the model year range against your vehicle before ordering.
The Ford Bronco Sport is a separate model and is not covered, and Bronco Raptor is excluded. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Baer recommends the O080M template to check the caliper against the wheel you plan to use, because the company cannot guarantee fit with every wheel style. The included hoses are for stock height vehicles, and lifted vehicles may require longer hoses. Brake work should be done by a qualified technician, since a fault in the brake system can cause loss of braking.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6T caliper, the 1-piece slotted and zinc-plated rotor, all mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: Wheels. The kit is designed for most 17 inch or larger wheels.
