Overview
The Baer Brakes Big Claw HD front disc brake rotor kit, part number 2261049-2, pairs oversized rotors with caliper relocation brackets for the 2013–2022 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty with 4WD and a single rear wheel. The rotors are up to 2 inches larger than stock on some applications, which Baer says adds brake torque and leverage for stronger stopping.
The one-piece rotors are purpose cast with directional cooling vanes. The relocation brackets move each caliper outward so the larger rotor clears, while keeping OE pad and hardware compatibility. Baer reports independent third-party testing with up to a 49 percent gain in braking effectiveness and as much as a 200-degree reduction in rotor temperatures versus OE in extreme conditions.
Key features
- Oversized rotors add brake torque and leverage for improved stopping power.
- Slotted friction surface helps vent dust and gases for a steadier pedal feel.
- Purpose-cast one-piece directional vane rotor moves air to aid cooling and reduce fade.
- New OE-style brackets reposition each caliper for the larger rotors.
- Direct bolt-on system with no brake bleeding required.
- Zinc-plated finish resists rust and corrosion behind open-spoke wheels.

Vehicle fitment
Baer Brakes lists this kit for the 2013–2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty and 2013–2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty, with the Details describing 4WD trucks with a single rear wheel.
Other Ford generations, the F-450 and F-550, and two-wheel-drive trucks are not in the listed fitment. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Use the Z205U template to check clearance against the wheel you plan to run, including the spare tire and wheel, before mounting. Wheel styles vary widely, so the buyer is responsible for that check.
What’s included
Supplied in the box: a pair of oversized front rotors and a pair of new OE-style caliper relocation brackets.
Not included: The kit supplies rotors and brackets only; the truck’s current brake components are not part of the package.
