Overview
The Baer Brakes Extreme Plus rear brake kit in Grabber Blue, part number 4262094GB, is built for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear axles with small bearing housing ends. Each kit uses a 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper on a 14.0 inch, 2-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor, with a 5×5.00 wheel bolt pattern.
Baer mounts the caliper to a backing plate that also houses a modern 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, so one kit covers both service and park braking on that rear end. Baer’s own guidance is to check the wheel against a template for clearance before committing to the setup.
Key features
- Monoblock caliper with 6 pistons, designated 6S, built in Phoenix, AZ
- Caliper machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
- Powder-coated caliper finish
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered piston layout intended to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Slotted, drilled, zinc-plated 2-piece rotor with billet aluminum hat, pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
Choosing the right setup
Matching the brake system to the axle is the first step. Ford 8 inch and 9 inch axles are widely used in trucks and off-road builds, and the axle flange must line up with the backing plate before anything else is fitted. Once that is confirmed, wheel offset and inner clearance decide whether the caliper and rotor will sit comfortably behind the spokes.
Brake lines and the master cylinder should be checked as part of the same job. A larger caliper moves more fluid, so the system may need a fresh bleed and clean fluid to keep the pedal consistent. Braided lines should be inspected at the fittings for seepage once the system is pressurized.
Park brake cables are a separate purchase and deserve planning early, since routing around the axle and frame can take longer than the caliper install itself.

Vehicle fitment
It is designed for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch small bearing rear axles on a 5×5.00 pattern. Verify your vehicle’s year, model and trim before placing an order.
Because wheel styles vary widely, Baer recommends the N085P template to check clearance against the wheel of choice. The system fits most wheels 18 inch or larger. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The 14.0 inch rotors come with their stainless hardware already assembled, and the stainless braided hoses are included in the kit. Park brake cables are not part of this kit, so the rear park brake will need cables from another source. A professional should confirm caliper clearance and bleed the hydraulics after the system is mounted.
What’s included
Grabber Blue 6S Monoblock caliper, 2-piece rotors with billet aluminum hats and pre-assembled hardware, backing plate with park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses and hardware.
