Overview
Part number 4261049CY is the Comp Yellow version of the Baer Brakes Extreme front brake kit for 2004-2008 Ford F-150 2WD trucks. Its 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper grips a 15.0 inch vented rotor, and the package is sized for wheels 19 inch and up.
The caliper has a Comp Yellow powder coat, and the kit uses the D1247 pad type. The dust and weather seals are compliant, and the system pairs them with stainless steel pistons.
Key features
- Monoblock caliper: 1-piece, six pistons, 6S designation, assembled in Phoenix, AZ
- Caliper machined from U.S.-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
- Comp Yellow powder coated finish
- Stainless hardware: pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Piston stagger is there to even out pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc plated rotor face
Break-in and pad selection
New pads need a short break-in before they grip reliably. Gentle stops at moderate speed help transfer an even layer of friction material onto the rotor, which reduces vibration and noise. Skipping this step can leave uneven contact that feels inconsistent under braking.
Pad selection depends on how the truck is used. Towing, long downhill runs and frequent trail use put more heat into the front brakes than normal commuting, so a compound suited to heavier duty can be worth considering. Keep the pads and rotor matched, and replace both if one is worn, since a worn rotor can quickly wear a new pad.
- Bed pads with several moderate stops
- Match pad compound to towing or trail use
- Check rotor surface after pad changes

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits 2004-2008 Ford F-150 2WD trucks on the front axle.
Only those F-150 years are listed; other F-150 generations and other Ford models are not covered here. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Wheel fit is left to the buyer: Baer advises comparing the template N063U with the wheel of choice. The stated minimum is 19.0 inch.
Installation notes
Stock hoses are re-used, so the new caliper ties into the existing hydraulic lines. A qualified technician should handle the install, including bleeding the brakes once the caliper and rotor are in place.
What’s included
The kit comes with the 6S caliper, the 15.0 inch rotor, and every mounting bracket and piece of hardware. The D1247 pad type is the one named for the system.
