Overview
If you need a Grabber Blue rear disc brake kit for a Ford F-150, the Baer Brakes Extreme Plus system, part number 4262691GB, is built for the 09-11 Ford F150 and the 10-11 Ford Raptor. The kit suits 2WD and 4WD trucks with six-lug wheels on a 6x135mm pattern.
Each kit uses a 6S caliper with six stainless steel pistons in a single monoblock body. That caliper clamps a 15-inch, two-piece, vented rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated. The backing plate doubles as the caliper mount and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly. The caliper is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging.
Key features
- Powder coated one-piece Monoblock caliper, six pistons, model 6S
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered piston layout that limits uneven pad wear
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals on each caliper
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plate rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Pre-assembled rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware
Caring for the caliper
Monoblock calipers hold their alignment well, but the pistons and seals still need routine attention. Keep the dust boots clean and avoid aiming high-pressure water directly at the piston area. When pads are changed, retract the pistons slowly and watch the reservoir, since fluid can overflow as the pistons move back.
Pad material is the other half of the system. Compounds behave differently under heat, so choose pads that match how the truck is driven. Heavy towing or long mountain descents call for pads suited to sustained heat, while daily driving places a lighter load on them. A rotor with deep scoring, blue heat marks or a pulsing pedal should be checked before new pads go on.
- Check dust seals for cracks at each pad change
- Inspect the rotor surface for heat cracking
- Use fresh brake fluid when bleeding the system

Vehicle fitment
Fitment is listed by the manufacturer as 2009–2011 Ford F-150. Baer’s application notes also name the Ford F150 09-11 and the Ford Raptor 10-11, for 2WD and 4WD drivelines.
Trucks that fall outside these Ford F-150 and Raptor applications are not covered, including other Ford models. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The kit depends on the park brake cables and hoses already on the truck, so inspect both before fitting the Grabber Blue calipers. The 15-inch rotor is intended for wheels of 19 inches or larger; Baer advises using its N125U template to check clearance against your chosen wheel. Because the park brake lives in the backing plate, confirm it engages and holds on a grade before driving.
What’s included
Included are the 6S Monoblock caliper, two-piece rotors pre-assembled with stainless hardware, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and brackets and hardware for the kit.
Not included: the existing park brake cables and brake hoses stay on the truck, and the kit does not supply replacements for them.
