Overview
Hugger Orange marks Baer Brakes part 4141022HO, a front Extreme Plus disc brake kit for Dodge and Ram 1500 pickups. A 6S caliper with six pistons in one Monoblock body clamps a 15 inch slotted and drilled rotor, and the whole set arrives as a single kit under this one part number.
It fits 2002–2010 Dodge Ram 1500 trucks, 2011–2018 Ram 1500 trucks and 2019–2024 Ram 1500 Classic models, with the 19-24 Classic Body covered. The caliper is Fixed type and built for front axle use.
Key features
- 1-piece Monoblock caliper, 6-piston, designated 6S, made in Phoenix, Az
- Caliper body CNC machined from 2618 aluminum forging sourced in the US, powder coated
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons help minimize uneven pad wear
- Dual seals against dust, weather and pressure
- 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
Pads and hose routing
Because the factory hoses stay in place, the routing and condition of those hoses matter as much as the new caliper. Check each hose for cracks, bulges and chafing where it passes near suspension parts, and make sure it has room to move through the full steering range without pulling on the caliper.
Pads should be selected for the way the truck is driven. A softer compound grips sooner when cold but wears faster under sustained heat, while a harder compound lasts longer in daily driving. Pair new pads with fresh rotors where possible so the friction surfaces wear evenly.
- Look for hose rubbing near the steering linkage
- Replace worn pads before the backing plate contacts the rotor
- Keep the caliper slide pins clean and lightly lubricated
