If your drum brakes are dragging or your rotors are corroded, this DeeMaxx stainless steel kit is a solid upgrade. It converts your idler axle into a braking axle with two slip-on rotors, calipers, and brackets rated for 3,500 lbs. The rotors fit over your existing idler hubs and use your current wheel bolts, so there’s no need to replace the whole hub-and-rotor assembly. Ceramic brake pads and a stainless steel piston deliver fast, responsive braking that feels smooth and controlled.
Saltwater launches and winter roads can destroy regular brake hardware fast. These brakes use stainless steel rotors, calipers, and brackets that are rustproof and built for marine-grade conditions. Drainage holes in the hat section let water escape quickly to reduce internal corrosion. Whether you’re towing near the ocean or through road salt and slush, this design keeps your braking system clean and reliable year after year.
Brakes that retain heat lose stopping power over time. DeeMaxx vented rotors move air through the core to shed heat quickly and prevent premature pad wear. The added drainage holes provide even more ventilation than standard vented designs, keeping the brakes cooler for consistent performance on long grades or heavy hauls.
You don’t need to replace the whole assembly to service these brakes. The slip-on rotors mount over your existing hubs and are easy to remove for pad changes. Laser-etched instructions on each caliper show exactly how to bleed the system when it’s time for maintenance. With fewer parts than drums—no springs or cables to fuss with—you’ll save time and keep everything running smoothly.
This kit includes all assemblies needed to upgrade one axle—two slip-on rotors, calipers, and brackets (mounting hardware not included)—and works with a brake flange configuration of 4 bolt, 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, 10-7/8" rotor diameter, 2-1/4" piston diameter, and 1/2" wheel bolts. Built from high-quality automotive-grade materials, it carries a 7-year warranty for dependable braking season after season.

I was thoroughly impressed with the quality of the break discs and calipers, I’ve spent my life working with equipment of all shapes and size, I can spot quality a mile away.
Got the order fast
Nice stuff
Will install them in two weeks
Thank you etrailer
Really nice people working there
Excellent product, price, and service!
Exactly what I was looking for. Very well designed and constructed.
Wow, the calipers, rotors and brackets are awesome.
Great price!
I'm sure the quality of these is good but I'm annoyed that there is no mounting hardware included. The enclosed instructions make multiple references to the "provided hardware" but there is none. So I spent $[XX] each on two brake kits and now I have to drive to town for hardware
Top Quality! Easy install and they work great! 7yr warranty, I am pleased....
Nice brakes. All stainless even the backing plates for pads. Should be trouble free for a long time.
