Overview
The Baer Brakes 54141-020 is a pair of rear Claw performance brake rotors for 2005–2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty and F-350 Super Duty trucks. They are one-piece, full cast vented rotors with a cross-drilled and slotted friction surface, made as a direct replacement for the factory rear rotor on the listed applications.
Super Duty owners who tow or haul often want a rotor that moves heat and dust away faster than a plain factory disc. The slotted and drilled face on this set gives gas and dust a route out from between the pad and rotor. This design supports a more consistent pedal and less brake fade. The zinc-plated finish suits owners who keep their rear wheels open-centered and visible.
Key features
- Cross-drilled and slotted rear friction surface for gas and dust release under braking
- Enhanced vane structure built for cooling and long service life
- Premium, mill balanced, direct replacement rotor design
- Chamfered cross-drilled holes to reduce the risk of stress cracks
- Zinc-plated finish that shows through open-center wheels
- Eight-stud pattern matching the listed Super Duty rear applications
Towing and rear brake load
Super Duty trucks carry heavy loads, and the rear brakes do a larger share of the work when towing. Rear rotors on these trucks face more heat over long descents, so a rotor with a cross-drilled and slotted face can help manage gas and dust during repeated stops.
Rear axle setup matters. Single rear wheel and dually trucks use different wheel spacing, so confirm the axle type before ordering. Check the hub face and bolt hole circle at installation, and inspect the rotors and pads at regular intervals, especially after a heavy tow. Support the truck correctly and keep the wheel studs clean when reinstalling wheels.
- Look for heat cracks around the drilled holes
- Check for a lipped edge at the outer rotor face
- Replace worn pads together with the rotors

Vehicle fitment
The manufacturer fitment list has two rear rotor entries. The 2005–2012 Ford F-250 Super Duty entry covers 4WD and RWD trucks, is qualified through 10/21/12 and includes Harley Davidson models. The 2005–2012 Ford F-350 Super Duty entry covers RWD and 4WD trucks with single rear wheels (SRW) and includes Harley Davidson Edition models.
The F-350 entry applies only to single rear wheel trucks, so dually rear axles are not covered. Models outside the 2005–2012 Super Duty years and the F-150 or F-450 lines are not in the list. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit does not include an ABS tone ring, so the existing tone ring must be reused on the rear hub. Check the hub face and the 170 bolt hole circle against your truck before mounting the rotors. Support the truck on stands securely while the rear wheels are off.
