Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme front brake system, part 4261049MG in Monster Green, is a 6-piston disc brake kit for the front axle of 2004-2008 Ford F-150 2WD trucks. It pairs a 1-piece monoblock 6S caliper with a 15 inch slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor, and it is sized for Ford F150 04-08 applications.
Baer builds the caliper in Phoenix, Arizona, from CNC machined 2618 aluminum forging and finishes it in powder coated Monster Green. The kit uses the popular D1247 pad type. Fit with every wheel style is not guaranteed, so use the N063U template to compare the rotor and caliper against the wheel you plan to run.
Key features
- 1-piece monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper for the front axle
- CNC machined 2618 aluminum forging, U.S.-sourced
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- 1-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated vented rotor
Before you buy
Front brake upgrades on a half-ton pickup usually start with the caliper and rotor, but the pads, hoses and bleeding procedure all shape how the system performs. Before buying, look at the wheel you plan to run, since the caliper body and rotor need room behind the spokes. Measure that space with the template and check that the rotor hat sits flush against the hub face.
Pad choice matters as much as hardware. A pad rated for daily driving wears slowly and stays quiet in cold weather, while a more aggressive compound grips harder when hot but dusts more and can shorten rotor life. Match the pad to how the truck is driven, and bed the new pads in gradually so the friction layer transfers evenly to the rotor.
- Check wheel clearance before ordering tires
- Plan for a brake fluid flush at installation
- Inspect the rotor hat and wheel studs
