Overview:

The Baer Extreme+ Front Brake Kit is engineered for Ram 1500 and Dodge Ram 1500 trucks from 2002 through 2018, delivering exceptional stopping power and durability for demanding driving conditions. This high-performance brake system combines a robust 6-piston monoblock caliper with a large 15-inch two-piece rotor, designed to provide superior heat dissipation and consistent braking performance. Ideal for enthusiasts who require enhanced braking capability for towing, hauling, or spirited driving, the Extreme+ kit offers a reliable upgrade over factory brakes with a focus on precision, strength, and long-term reliability.

Key Features:

Baer’s Extreme+ brake kit incorporates advanced engineering and premium materials to ensure top-tier performance and durability. Key features include:

• One-piece Monoblock 6-piston 6S caliper, CNC machined from US-sourced 2618 aluminum forging
• Powder-coated finish in competitive yellow for corrosion resistance and visual appeal
• Stainless steel pistons, abutments, and noise suppression clips for enhanced durability and quiet operation
• Staggered piston design to minimize uneven pad wear and improve pad life
• Dual-seal system with dust/weather and pressure seals compliant with D.O.T. standards
• 15-inch two-piece rotor featuring slotted and drilled zinc-plated surfaces for improved cooling and debris evacuation
• Billet aluminum rotor hats for reduced weight and increased strength
• Pre-assembled rotors with NAS high-grade stainless steel hardware for secure, corrosion-resistant mounting
• Compatible with most 19-inch or larger wheels, allowing for versatile fitment

Construction & Design:

The Extreme+ calipers are precision CNC machined in Phoenix, Arizona, from a high-strength 2618 aluminum forging sourced domestically in the United States. This material choice ensures excellent heat dissipation and structural integrity under extreme braking conditions. The calipers feature stainless steel pistons and abutments that resist corrosion and maintain smooth operation over time. The dual-seal design protects internal components from dust, moisture, and pressure fluctuations, extending service life and maintaining consistent brake feel.

The two-piece rotor design combines a zinc-plated, slotted, and drilled friction surface with a lightweight billet aluminum hat. This configuration optimizes thermal management by allowing the rotor to expand and contract independently, reducing the risk of warping and improving overall brake performance. The zinc plating adds corrosion resistance, while the slots and drilled holes help evacuate gases, dust, and water to maintain consistent pad contact and reduce brake fade.

Installation & Fitment:

The Baer Extreme+ kit is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for Ram 1500 models from 2002 to 2018 and Dodge Ram 1500 from 2011 to 2018. All necessary mounting brackets and hardware are included, simplifying installation without the need for modifications. The kit fits most 19-inch or larger wheels, making it compatible with a wide range of aftermarket and factory wheel options. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper brake system function and safety.
