When it comes to rearends, the Ford 9-inch is one of the most widely used on the market. Yes, even GM and Mopar guys have been converting their rear axles for years to get the added reliability and strength that the 9-inch has offered Ford owners for decades. So, with so many factory and aftermarket performance vehicles using the 9-inch these days, we decided to hit up Baer to see what kind of brakes they have to offer that compliment the popular rear end.
