DeeMaxx Trailer Brakes - DE54VR

Highlights

  • Stop Smoothly and Confidently: Stainless steel disc brakes deliver shorter, more controlled stopping.
  • Fight Corrosion for Years: Rustproof stainless rotors, calipers, and brackets handle saltwater and road salt.
  • Save Time on Upgrades: Slip-on rotors fit over standard idler hubs—no full hub replacement needed.
  • Run Cooler, Last Longer: Vented rotors with drainage holes shed heat and moisture to reduce fade and wear.
  • Simplify Maintenance: Laser-etched caliper instructions make bleeding and pad changes fast and clear.
  • Rated for 6,000-lb Axles: 12" rotors with 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and 1/2" wheel bolts fit one axle setup.

Features to know about

Upgrade Old or Failing Brakes: Slip-On Disc Kit for Smooth, Confident Stops

If your brakes are dragging or worn, this DeeMaxx disc brake kit is a big step up. The 12" slip-on rotors fit right over standard idler hubs and use your existing wheel bolts, so there’s no need to replace the whole hub-and-rotor assembly. Ceramic brake pads and stainless steel pistons deliver fast, responsive braking that feels smooth and controlled.

Made for Harsh Conditions: All-Stainless Construction Resists Corrosion

Whether you tow near the coast or drive through winter road salt, rust can destroy ordinary brakes. This 6,000-lb axle kit uses stainless steel rotors, calipers, and brackets that are completely rustproof. Drainage holes in the hat section let water escape fast to help prevent corrosion and keep the brakes running clean. It’s a long-term fix for anyone tired of fighting rusted-out hardware.

Runs Cooler and Lasts Longer: Vented Rotors with Better Heat Dissipation

Long grades and heavy loads can cause brake fade, but these vented rotors are engineered to run cool. They move air through the core to shed heat faster and reduce premature pad wear. The added drainage holes improve ventilation even more, keeping performance steady mile after mile.

DIY-Friendly and Simple to Maintain: Laser-Etched Instructions Built In

You don’t need special tools or a lift to get this kit installed. The brackets bolt on easily and the rotors slip over your hubs for a hassle-free setup. When it’s time for maintenance, bleeding instructions are laser-etched right on the calipers so you always have them handy. The kit includes assemblies for one axle—two slip-on rotors, calipers, and brackets—and works with a hydraulic brake actuator rated at 1,500 psi or above (sold separately).

Engineered for strength and reliability, this kit fits 6 on 5-1/2" bolt patterns with 1/2" wheel bolts and a 5-bolt brake flange configuration. With high-quality, automotive-grade construction and a 7-year warranty, it’s built to deliver consistent braking performance season after season.

They look great!
by:
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.
by:
So far the brake system works very well, the trailer gets immersed in salt water so the system being mostly stainless helps greatly, of course the system still should be washed down with fresh water after salt water contact.

Still look and work like new. Seems like pads wore out alot less with these since the rotors still arent rusty

by:
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
by:
Wow, the calipers, rotors and brackets are awesome.
Great price!
by:
Exactly what I was looking for. Very well designed and constructed.

Excellent product, price, and service!

  • Replacement Disc Brake Rotors and Hubs for a 2015 Road King Boat Trailer
    Hey Jerry. There's no database that shows me what parts are on your 2015 Road King boat trailer and their website wasn't much help either. There's way too many options to take an educated guess. The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit item # DE82FR you were looking at, are slip on rotors that install over an idler hub. This looks like a pretty common setup for Road King trailers. The item # DE54VR would be better for a boat trailer though. If you're wanting new disc braking hubs with the lug bolts...

  • Comparing Maxx and Stainless Steel DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kits
    The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE82FR with the Maxx coating has a salt spray rating of over 1,000 hours while the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE54VR with the Stainless construction isn't rated for salt spray, but when I spoke with the owner he said the Coast Guard has used them for 13 years and never has had an issue with rust, so it definitely sounds like it's worth it. If you want the best of both worlds then check out the Disc Brake Kit # DE22FR. This comes with stainless calipers and then...

  • Replacement Brake Kit For Deemax 12 Disc Brake Kit Severe Corrosion
    With the severe corrosion on your DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE28YR you will most likely want to move to stainless steel components. We do offer the Maxx Coat Rotors/Stainless Calipers # DE58YR which is a more price conscious upgrade. Otherwise if you want to go fully stainless you will need the Stainless Steel Kit # DE54VR along with 2 Stainless Steel Idler Hubs # KH42655S. These hubs will need the Inner Bearing # 25580, Outer Bearing # 15123 and a Grease Seal # GS-2125DL to be complete...
