Overview
The Baer Brakes 4301628HO is an Extreme Plus front brake system in Hugger Orange for 1988 to 1998 Chevrolet and GMC C1500 2WD trucks and 1992 to 1999 C1500 Suburban and Yukon SUVs, for trucks that run React 2 inch drop spindles. Its 1-piece Monoblock, 6-piston, 6S caliper clamps a 15 inch two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor.
Baer machines the parts from U.S.-sourced 2618 aluminum forging and finishes them in powder coat. The kit uses D1247 brake pads and includes dust and weather seals, making it a front disc option for these 2WD trucks and SUVs.

Before you buy
Brake upgrades on a truck start with the wheel, so measure clearance before anything else. A larger rotor and caliper need room inside the wheel barrel, and the stock wheel may not leave enough space. Check the spindle, hub and wheel together, because a mismatch there causes rubbing that is hard to spot until the truck is on the road.
Pad compound matters as much as the caliper. A firmer pad suits heavier loads and hard stops, while a softer pad runs quieter in daily driving. Replacing the pads together with the rotors keeps wear even across the pair, and new hoses are worth checking at the same time.
- Measure wheel clearance with the template before mounting
- Bed in new pads gently over the first several stops
- Check hose fittings for seepage after the first drive
