Upgrade your trailer's braking system with these integral disc brake conversion kits for two wheel ends. It includes the major braking and hub components needed for installation, including bearings, hardware, lug nuts, and threaded caps.
If your trailer's current brakes are no longer delivering the stopping performance you want, this kit provides the major mechanical components needed to convert one 8,000-lb trailer axle to hydraulic disc brakes. It includes integral MAXX-coated hub and rotor assemblies, stainless steel calipers, caliper brackets, bearings, grease seals, threaded caps, lug nuts, and installation hardware for both wheel ends, giving you a matched axle assembly instead of sourcing the components individually. Complete the conversion with a compatible hydraulic brake actuator, brake lines, and other required hydraulic brake components (sold separately).
Building a hydraulic disc brake system one component at a time can lead to unnecessary parts matching and compatibility questions. This kit brings together the major mechanical components for both wheel ends, with the hub and rotor assemblies, calipers, bearings, seals, caps, lug nuts, and installation hardware already matched to work together. It's a practical approach that simplifies the mechanical side of the conversion once your trailer's specifications have been confirmed.
Brake components spend their lives exposed beneath your trailer, making corrosion a constant concern after a brake upgrade. The integral hub and rotor assemblies use MAXX coating while the calipers are constructed from stainless steel, helping protect the major brake components from weather and road exposure. Your trailer stays equipped with corrosion-resistant brake components that are ready for the next tow.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer. Let's take a real quick look at this DeeMaxx Maxx Coat stainless steel disc brake kit. Now, if you're looking to upgrade your trailer's braking performance, this hydraulic disc brake conversion kit is going to give you what you need to convert a trailer wheel end on an 8,000 pound trailer axle from your existing setup to hydraulic disc brakes. Now, you're going to be able to get this as a set of one as you can see here on my table or a set of two. So whichever quantity is going to work best for you, just take that appropriate part number that you see there on your screen, put it in the search field of our website, that will take you to that quantity and you can add that to your order. So this kit is going to include everything that you see here.
Again, this is just going to be for a quantity of one. So it includes the Maxx coated integral hub and stainless steel rotor assembly here that's going to resist corrosion for long lasting durability along with the stainless steel brake calipers here. And you see we have the brake pads in here as well. I've got a little isolator in there to keep the brake pads held in place in the caliper. So this is all going to work together to give you dependable stopping power in a variety of towing conditions.
The Maxx coating and stainless steel construction are ideal for boat trailers, year round towing, and anyone who frequently exposes their trailer to water, road salt or harsh weather because they help resist corrosion and extend the life of your braking system. So this kit is designed to simplify installation by including the caliper mounting bracket which you see here, lower part of my table here. All the installation hardware that you're going to need, including the caliper, including the bracket as we mentioned. You're going to get a complete bearing kit with inner and outer bearings and grease seal and the threaded cap with yellow plugs as you can see here. Now, on your screen, I'm going to make sure that this is going to stay in place here.
I'm going to list all of the essential information there for you. So this is again built for your 8 on 6 1/2-inch bolt pattern using 5/8 of an inch wheel studs with 1/2-inch caliper mounting bolts. It includes the inner bearings and the outer bearings, the inner races and the outer races there listed by their appropriate numbers that you see there on your screen. So overall, this is going to be a complete corrosion resistance solution if you're looking to improve braking performance and reliability of your hydraulic disc brakes. So again, you can get this as a set of one here as I have it here, a kit of one or a kit of two.
And again, I got those part numbers there for you. If you think you might need some help with installation, on this product page, typically found underneath the photo section, we have a link that will take you to our installer locator. Click that link and answer the questions that it has for you and that locator will find an installer in your area that etrailer has partnered with to help you with the install. Well, that's going to wrap up our look today. Again, my name's Andy. Thank you for joining me.

Thanks for sharing that, that’s a really important detail to call out. On setups like this, the included studs are typically sized for standard steel wheels, so when switching over to thicker aluminum wheels, it can definitely lead to needing longer studs like you ran into. I can see how that would be a frustrating surprise in the middle of an install. Glad you caught it and are getting it sorted out. Once everything is buttoned up, we’d be interested to hear how the full setup performs for you. What kind of trailer are you running these on?

Hey Steve! Thanks for the kind words and the detailed response! Sounds like you found exactly what you needed for your boat trailer. Was that your first time installing a brake setup like this? How was the install?
