Overview
Grabber Blue is the finish on Baer Brakes part 4261017GB, an Extreme Plus front brake kit for 1997–2003 Ford F-150 4WD trucks. The kit centers on a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper and a 14.0 inch two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with a billet aluminum hat.
Baer Brakes builds the caliper in Phoenix, Arizona. The system is set up for D1247 brake pads, and the rotors come assembled with NAS high-grade stainless hardware, along with the brackets and hardware needed to mount the kit. Because the kit is one complete front package, the caliper, rotor and mounting pieces are matched to each other.

Vehicle fitment
The manufacturer’s fitment list places this kit on 1997–2003 Ford F-150 trucks with 4WD drive.
Later F-150 generations and two-wheel-drive trucks are not on this list. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Baer advises comparing the wheel to template N045P, because wheel designs vary and fit with every style is not guaranteed.
Installation notes
Since the rotors come assembled, the main jobs are the caliper, the brackets and the hub. Reused OE hoses should be checked for wear before reinstalling. Confirm wheel clearance over the 14.0 inch rotor, keeping in mind the listed minimum wheel diameter of 18.0 inch.
A technician comfortable with disc brake service should perform the installation.
What’s included
Included are the 6S caliper, the 2-piece rotors with billet aluminum hats, and the mounting brackets and hardware. The pad type is D1247.
