Overview
Part 4262148GB is the Grabber Blue colorway of Baer Brakes’ Pro Plus 13.0 Inch rear brake system, built for Ford 9 Inch rear axles with Early Big bearing housing ends. The package centers on a six-piston 6P fixed caliper and a 13.0 inch vented two-piece rotor.
The kit targets the common 5×4.50/5×4.75 five-lug pattern and is intended for wheels 17 inches or larger. Fit depends on each wheel, so measure your wheel against the Q082H template before committing.
Key features
- Six-piston caliper (6P) painted Grabber Blue
- Zinc-plated, slotted and drilled rotor with billet aluminum hat
- Stainless steel pistons and noise suppression clips
- Dual seal design for dust, weather and pressure
- Pistons staggered to minimize uneven pad wear
- Park brake shoe assembly integrated into the backing plate
- Powder coated finish
Hardware and rotor care
Pre-assembled rotor hardware saves time, but it still needs checking after the first drive. Stainless fasteners resist corrosion well, yet they can loosen as components bed in and the vehicle flexes over rough ground. Recheck the hardware after a short break-in period and again after any hard trail use.
Keep the rotor surface clean and free of oil. Grease transferred from hands or gaskets can reduce pad bite and cause uneven braking. Use brake cleaner rather than solvent-based degreasers that leave residue behind.
Pad choice matters for this type of rotor. Performance pads suit slotted and drilled surfaces, but aggressive compounds can wear pads faster on dusty trails. Inspect pads for uneven wear and check the rotor surface for heat cracks or deep grooves whenever the wheels come off.
- Recheck fasteners after the first few drives
- Keep the rotor face free of oil and grease
- Inspect pads for uneven wear at each service
- Look for heat cracks or deep grooves on the rotor

Vehicle fitment
The kit is built for the Ford 9 Inch rear axle with Early Big bearing housing ends, which identifies an axle rather than a vehicle. Compare your vehicle’s year, model and trim with the kit before buying, and verify your housing type first.
Housings with a different bearing style require a separate kit, so do not assume a match from the axle name alone. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
The backing plate serves as the caliper mount and houses the one-piece park brake shoe assembly, so the park brake is not a separate bracket. Rotor hardware is pre-assembled with stainless fasteners. Ask an experienced installer to set up the hydraulic system, and check wheel clearance against the template first.
What’s included
Six-piston caliper, pre-assembled two-piece rotor and hardware, the backing plate with its park brake shoe assembly, and stainless braided hoses with hardware.
Not included: park brake cables.
