Overview
Baer Brakes’ Extreme Plus front brake kit in Comp Yellow, part 4261017CY, is made for 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD trucks. It is built around a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper and a 14.0 inch slotted, drilled, zinc-plated 2-piece rotor on a billet aluminum hat.
The Comp Yellow powder coat is on the caliper. The caliper is made in Phoenix, Arizona, and the kit uses D1247 brake pads. The rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high-grade stainless hardware, and the mounting brackets and hardware are part of the package.
Key features
- 1-piece Monoblock design with 6 pistons (6S)
- Machined from 2618 aluminum forging, sourced in the USA
- Comp Yellow powder coat finish
- Stainless pistons, abutments and noise-suppression clips
- Staggered pistons reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- 2-piece rotor, slotted and drilled, zinc plated, with billet aluminum hat
- Pre-assembled rotors using NAS high-grade stainless hardware
Keeping the system healthy
Once a big-brake setup is installed, routine checks matter more than any single part. Over time, heat cycles can harden rubber components and loosen fasteners, so a quick look at the lines, bolts and caliper body after the first few drives is a sensible habit.
Brake fluid absorbs moisture from the air, which lowers its boiling point. Replace it on a regular schedule, especially if the truck sees towing, steep grades or frequent hard stops, and bleed the system after any hose or caliper work.
Dust from pads can build up on the wheels and inside the caliper. Clean the assembly with a non-acidic wheel cleaner and avoid high-pressure water directly at the seals.
- Re-check fastener torque after the first drives
- Replace brake fluid on a regular schedule
- Keep the caliper body and seals clean
- Inspect hoses for cracks or bulges

Vehicle fitment
It fits the 1997–2003 Ford F-150 with 4WD drive on the front axle.
Later F-150 generations and trucks without 4WD fall outside this list. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Baer does not promise fit with every wheel style, so compare the wheel you plan to run with template N045P.
Installation notes
Start with the hub and caliper bracket layout, since the rotors arrive assembled. The reused OE hoses should be looked over before the caliper goes on. Keep the 14.0 inch rotor in mind when checking wheel clearance; the minimum listed wheel diameter is 18.0 inch.
A technician familiar with this brake type should handle the installation.
What’s included
The package includes the 6S caliper, the 2-piece rotors with billet hats, and the mounting brackets and hardware. The pad type is D1247.
