Construction & Design:

The Extreme+ calipers are precision CNC machined in Phoenix, Arizona, from a high-strength 2618 aluminum forging sourced within the United States. This premium aluminum alloy provides an optimal balance of lightweight construction and exceptional heat dissipation, critical for maintaining braking performance during aggressive use. The monoblock design enhances rigidity, reducing flex under heavy braking loads for consistent pedal feel and improved stopping power.

The rotors feature a two-piece design with a billet aluminum hat and a zinc-plated iron braking surface. This combination reduces unsprung weight and improves thermal management while resisting corrosion. The drilled and slotted rotor pattern aids in heat dissipation and helps prevent brake fade, ensuring reliable performance in both daily driving and spirited conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

This Baer Extreme+ brake kit is designed to fit Ram 1500 models from 2002 through 2018, including Dodge Ram 1500 trucks from 2002 to 2010. It is compatible with most 19" or larger wheels, making it a versatile upgrade for many factory and aftermarket wheel setups. Installation is facilitated by the inclusion of all necessary mounting brackets and hardware, allowing for a direct bolt-on replacement with minimal modifications.

Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper brake system function and safety. The kit uses the widely available D1247 brake pad type, simplifying pad replacement and maintenance.
