Product details
Red powder-coated AERO6 calipers pair with drilled/slotted 14.25-inch rotors in this Wilwood front truck package. It serves the defined 1997–2004 Ford/Lincoln applications shown below, using the selected five-lug, two-wheel-drive front mounting configuration. The rotor and caliper dimensions must be checked against the installed wheel design; appearance and nominal wheel diameter do not establish compatibility. Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings, and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance, and specialized applications.

Fitment & Compatibility
Establish the precise model, rear brake type and front hub arrangement before ordering. Navigator and Blackwood coverage differs from F-150 coverage, and the Heritage model has a specific rear-axle exclusion. Inspect hub condition and follow the bracket and hat assembly instructions. Route the supplied flex lines clear of steering and suspension movement. Allow for spoke clearance as well as barrel diameter using the kit template, then confirm that the truck's hydraulic system and rear brakes are appropriate for the completed conversion.
Match the individual year, model, submodel and equipment conditions in the fitment table below.
