If your trailer’s old brakes are dragging or not stopping like they should, this DeeMaxx kit gives you a major upgrade. The 13-1/8" slip-on rotors fit right over standard idler hubs and are held in place by your existing wheel bolts—no need to replace the whole hub-and-rotor assembly. The included Alpha G1600 actuator delivers up to 1,600 psi of hydraulic pressure from your in-cab brake controller for fast, smooth braking with no lag or surge. It’s a solid way to get automotive-grade control on a tandem-axle setup rated for 7,000 lbs per axle.
Towing or launching in salty or wet conditions can destroy unprotected parts fast. This kit’s Maxx coating on the rotors, calipers, and brackets has a salt-spray rating of over 1,000 hours—far beyond zinc or Dacromet coatings. Drainage holes in the rotor hat section help water escape and further cut down on rust. That means you spend more time towing and less time fighting corrosion.
Hauling weight or driving long grades builds heat that can fade brakes quickly. DeeMaxx vented rotors move air through the core to shed heat faster while Kevlar pads resist wear and dissipate heat evenly. The stainless steel piston delivers responsive braking even when hot, helping you maintain control during heavy stops or downhill runs.
DIYers will appreciate how straightforward this system is to set up. The slip-on rotors and bolt-on brackets make mounting easy, and the included rubber hydraulic lines meet DOT and SAE standards while being simpler to route than rigid steel lines. When it’s time for maintenance, laser-etched bleeding instructions on the back of each caliper mean you always have guidance on hand without needing to dig for a manual.
DeeMaxx brakes are the only trailer brakes to pass the SAE J2681 automotive brake test for friction performance. The patented caliper bolt design keeps sleeves secure and reduces wear, while high-grade materials extend service life. The kit carries a 7-year warranty on the brakes and a 2-year warranty on the actuator—proof it’s built for dependable stopping season after season.
Ratings & Reviews
All I can say is I wish I would have done this upgrade much sooner
Adding the disc break system really takes a lot of stress out of pulling a 14k camper
Much more confident in breaking
I think this is a great upgrade to my 2006 5th wheel. They look good. They don't need constant adjustment and give a me more confidence in the brake system.
