Overview
The Baer Brakes 4262690HO is an SS4 Plus rear brake package in Hugger Orange, sized at 11.0 inch and designed for Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing housing ends. Its four-piston S4 caliper works with a two-piece slot and drill rotor finished in zinc plate across the rear axle.
The kit suits wheels from 15 inch upward and uses the DR1-C pad. Stainless braided lines, all brackets and hardware are supplied. The axle flange and wheel clearance are the key checks, and the year, make and model should be confirmed for your vehicle before ordering.

Choosing the right setup
Rotor size, caliper design and pad compound all influence how a rear brake system feels under load. Larger rotors add thermal capacity, while the pad compound determines friction and noise, so pick pads that match the way the truck is driven. Slotted and drilled rotors help clear debris from the pad face, though they can wear pads faster in dusty conditions.
Hard anodized aluminum pistons work well with stainless abutments, but moisture and road salt still reach the caliper over time. Clean the slide pins and boots during pad changes, and apply a light coat of appropriate lubricant to the contact points. Replace any rotor that shows deep grooves, heat cracks or uneven thickness.
- Check the rotor for heat spots or blue discoloration
- Keep the dust boots intact on the caliper
- Confirm pad clearance after every wheel removal

Vehicle fitment
Baer classifies the 4262690HO by rear axle flange: Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing. Its manufacturer fitment list is empty for this part, so no model years are attached.
Flanges outside the Ford 8 inch/9 inch small bearing style named here are not covered. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Baer cannot promise fit with every wheel design, so run the S125A template against the intended wheel first. Because this system controls the vehicle’s stopping force, a qualified brake shop should install and bleed it.
What’s included
Supplied: the S4 caliper assembly, pre-assembled two-piece rotors with NAS high grade stainless hardware, mounting brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: Park brake, which is not included with the kit.
