Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus front brake kit in Fire Red, part number 4261084FR, is a front disc brake system for 2WD Ford F-150 and Ford Expedition trucks and the Lincoln Navigator, 1997 to 2003. A 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper clamps a 14 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled rotor that carries zinc plating.
The caliper is made in Phoenix, Az, from CNC machined, US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging with a powder coated Fire Red finish. The 14 inch rotor fits most wheels 18 inch or larger. Because wheel styles vary, a template check against the chosen wheel is advisable before mounting.
Key features
- One-piece Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper in Fire Red
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons designed to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece zinc-plated rotor, slotted and drilled, with billet aluminum hat
- Uses the D1247 brake pad type
Wheel clearance and offset
Wheel clearance depends on more than rotor diameter. Backspacing and offset decide where the wheel face sits relative to the caliper body, and a wheel with the right diameter can still rub if its inner barrel is too close. Measure the gap between the caliper and the wheel’s inner lip before the final install.
Lug seat type and stud length also matter. Hub-centric fit and proper seat contact keep the wheel true under braking and cornering. Any change to wheel or tire size should be followed by a fresh clearance check, since the tire’s outer diameter can alter how the caliper sits within the wheel opening.
- Measure inner barrel clearance around the caliper
- Confirm lug seat type matches the wheel
- Check stud length against the wheel thickness
- Recheck clearance after any tire size change

Vehicle fitment
The kit fits the 1997–2003 Ford F-150, the 1997–2003 Ford Expedition and the 1998–2003 Lincoln Navigator, all in 2WD form.
Not covered: 4WD trucks and years outside the listed ranges, including 2004 and later F-150 models. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Rotors are pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware, and the mounting brackets and hardware are included, which reduces the loose parts to handle. Check wheel clearance against the N045P template first. Have an experienced brake technician set the caliper position and bleed the system.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6S Monoblock caliper, two 14 inch rotors with billet aluminum hats, NAS stainless rotor hardware and the mounting brackets with their hardware.
Brake pads: The caliper is paired with the D1247 pad type. Confirm the pad set before planning the installation.
