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.
Ratings & Reviews
The customer service is spot on. I had an issue with shipping and their customer support was on it from the time I notified them to when the replacement arrived. Hard to find customer service like this these days.
Great company to buy from. Fast shippin g.
WOrks very good. Fit on a 15" rim were not good. The site said any 15, 16 or larger. The calibers drag on the inside of rims. I had to choose to go larger size rims but did not want to go larger because the hight I was at lauching boat now. Called tech support, they worked wirh manufacture and was told to grind dowm edge or caliber. It has extra metal from mold at factory. I did about 1/4 inch end to end and all is good with about 1/8 clearaance now.
Product was as expected, good quality braking system, installed easily in about 1-2 hours per wheel. Shipping and ordering was quick and easy. Time will tell more after installing on my fresh water boat trailer.
Unfortunately, it did not clear my 15” wheels properly, as indicated in the product description. I found by adding a 1/4” wheel spacer, that was just enough to get the clearance needed to prevent the calipers from rubbing on my 15” rims. (I have also seen others say that they used a grinder to take about 1/4” off the caliper body to get them to clear). This is the only reason for 4/5 stars.
Emma was great at helping me purchase these parts. They arrived two days earlier than expected as well. Your videos are also very well done and full of great information. I have some painting and rust removal to do before reassembly but will send pix when complete. Thx again
Has been reliable for 1 year
Madison was a great help and knew exactly what I needed for my application. Parts came quick and were easy to install.
Have not installed yet but the kit appears well made. Hoping the pads hold up well.
Braking is 1000x better than the OEM drum brakes. I've had to turn the brake controller way down because I was locking up the tires on a 14,000 lb RV. Will plan on putting on other trailers that I plan on keeping for a long time.
Absolutely 100 percent positive!!!
ETRAILER.COM is the fastest customer service i have ever seen !
Great Job!!!!
They definitely made a huge difference for stopping no question about it
Parts look good. One problem is the caliper plate sticks out 3/16 inches farther which means you have to change the plate . Drilling out the old plate is a nightmare.
Good product. Great service. Some damage occurred during shipping, but replacement parts were shipped free of charge.
Fast Delivery, great tracking and all parts fixed perfectly.
Still have not road tested them, but the ease of installation was great. All 4 wheels swapped out in one day.
Just got them, but haven't installed yet. They look of very high quality. So far happy with the purchase I will do another review once installed and working.
Well Designed and build. I took some time to remove old set - it was rusted in place reel good. But install of the new set was very easy.
The improvement in braking is very significant i am controlling brakes with electric/hydraulic actuator and the system works just like brakes on the car - very precise and sensitive.
Awesome people to work with. Finding the right trailer parts isn't easy. Amy J has helped me out quite a few times. This is where I will get all of my parts.
I have not had much time on the road with these but from day 1 it was obvious I made the right choice. The items came in packaging that I would rate at 4 stars as there were some concerns but nothing drastic. The install was straight forward and everything went together as intended. I like the better braking control with the new system that works much better than the old set. My trailer is 2019 and the rotors were badly rotted, the calipers worked but were hanging up but these are a total game changer. Brakes work great!
Easy to install, Fit perfect, and Wow, stops you so much better than drum brakes!
Braking effect is much more pronounced that my previous disc brakes. Parts delivered quickly. Installed to replace Knott calipers which had been locking up frequently- these calipers and rotors show no signs of corrosion or loss of brake effect after a couple of uses in saltwater. I would highly recommend purchasing mounting hardware as these do not come with any- also note if you have tandem axels you need to have “T” line splitters as the brake line inlet is standard 3/16 (or 1/8 NPT if you remove the included 90° fitting)- the Y splitter that my previous calipers used through the lower bleed fitting were too big. Very satisfied so far; just need to see how they hold up over time.
Fit perfectly on my EZ Loader Tandem Axle Trailer from 2008
Only thing that I could suggest is a better product description of exactly what’s in the box. I thought the bearings would be greased. (Nope) and the rotor and hub were 2 parts. (1 part). Other than that it was a great experience:-)
The rotors are of average quality. Beware!!! The wheel studs are too short if you have aluminum alloy wheels. I had to change all 36. Installation is still in progress.
I bet they are nice, if shipped and re-sold by a competent company. Unfortunately, we're dealing with Etrailer here. Well... on this one, the last order I ever make with them. Crappy packaging means the rotors were free to make minced meat out of everything else inside the boxes. Due to life, it was a year before I was able to install them on the trailer. On top of it all, they decided it would be a great idea reward the hard-earned money I spent with them by spamming me, sending me unwanted unsolicited email until I threatened them with a lawsuit (CAN SPAM act).
I ended up visiting the local Tool store popular in the Northern and getting the parts to repair what Etrailer's incompetence in packing wrought.
