Overview
Baer Brakes’ 4262096FR brings a Fire Red rear Extreme Plus brake system to Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing rear ends with 5×4.50/5×4.75 wheel bolts. Its 1-piece Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper works with a 14.0 Inch two-piece rotor that is slotted, drilled and zinc plated, and a billet aluminum hat. Stainless braided hoses and hardware are included, so the kit covers the rear hydraulic and rotor side together.
The backing plate is built as a caliper mount and carries a 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the parking brake is part of the rear package. The rotor is made for wheels of 18 inch or larger, and wheel style affects fit, so compare the N085P template with the wheel before assembly.
Key features
- Monoblock 6-piston, 6S caliper made in Phoenix, Az
- CNC machined from U.S.-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Powder coated Fire Red finish
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
Things to check
Before ordering a rear brake package, confirm the axle housing, bearing style and wheel bolt pattern on the vehicle itself. Measure what is actually on the car rather than relying on memory, because a housing that looks similar can use a different flange. A wheel that looks like it will clear may still touch the caliper when the suspension is compressed, so test the fit with the wheel mounted at normal ride height.
Parking brake function is a common point of confusion in rear conversions. Because the shoe assembly sits in the backing plate, the cable route has to be planned early and kept away from heat, sharp edges and the driveshaft. A cable that is too tight can drag the shoes, while one that is too loose leaves the parking brake weak.
- Axle flange and bearing style on the vehicle
- Wheel clearance at normal ride height
- Parking brake cable path away from heat and edges

Vehicle fitment
The kit is designed for rear ends with the Ford 9 Inch Early Big Bearing flange and a 5×4.50/5×4.75 bolt pattern, which are the two dimensions to match. Confirm the axle type on your vehicle against these before purchase.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Rotors are supplied with NAS high grade stainless hardware already in place. Check the N085P template against the wheel before final assembly, because the minimum wheel diameter is 18.0 Inch. Park brake cables are not included, so the cable routing needs its own plan. A professional brake shop should handle the rear install.
What’s included
The Fire Red 6S Monoblock caliper with six pistons, the two-piece slotted drilled zinc plated rotors with billet aluminum hats, the backing plate with its 1-piece park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
