Overview
The Baer Brakes Pro Plus 13.0 inch rear brake kit in Grabber Blue, part number 4262177GB, is a rear disc brake package for Ford 8 inch and 9 inch rear axles with small bearing housing ends. It uses a 6-piston fixed caliper on a 13-inch two-piece slotted, drilled and zinc-plated rotor and is sold as a kit.
The backing plate supports the caliper and houses a one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so parking braking is built into the rear hardware. The 13.0 inch Pro Plus is intended for wheels 17 inches and up. The caliper is manufactured in Phoenix, Arizona, from US-sourced forged or billet aluminum that is CNC machined and powder coated.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper with staggered pistons to reduce uneven pad wear
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual seals for dust, weather and pressure
- Two-piece slotted, drilled, zinc-plated rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Rotors come pre-assembled with NAS high grade stainless hardware
- DOT approved steel braided hoses
- One-piece park brake shoe assembly inside the backing plate
Before you buy
Rear disc conversions change more than the brakes. The rotor, caliper bracket and parking hardware all have to work with the axle housing you already own, so start by confirming the axle type and bearing housing style before comparing kits. Wheel clearance matters just as much. A larger rotor leaves less room between the caliper and the spokes or barrel of the wheel, and a template check is the simplest way to catch a problem before the parts are on the truck.
Pads and rotors wear at different rates depending on how the vehicle is used. A vehicle that tows, carries heavy loads or runs trails with frequent stops will usually need more frequent pad checks than a daily driver. Look for uneven wear across the pad surface, scoring on the rotor face, and any pulsing or vibration under braking, since these point to hardware that needs attention.
- Verify the axle housing style before ordering
- Compare wheel clearance with a template
- Plan for brake fluid and bleeding after installation
- Inspect hoses for chafing or swelling during routine service

Vehicle fitment
This kit is not tied to listed vehicles. Its stated application is Ford 8 inch or 9 inch rear axles with small bearing housing ends, which means the axle housing is the key check rather than a model year. Verify your axle before you buy.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering. Wheel fitment depends on style, so use the Q082H template to compare clearance.
Installation notes
Parking brake cables are excluded, so vehicles with cable-operated parking brakes need separate cables. Clearance against your wheel should be confirmed with template Q082H before mounting. Installing rear disc hardware is best left to a shop experienced with axle brake conversions.
What’s included
The package holds a 6-piston caliper, two-piece 13.0 inch rotors with pre-assembled stainless hardware, a backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with their hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
