The DeeMaxx Difference

Close-up image of DeeMaxx disc brake installation

When brakes retain heat, they are more likely to experience brake fade, or loss of braking power. DeeMaxx addresses this problem by incorporating drainage holes in the hat section of each vented rotor to provide even more ventilation than other brands. Combining these holes with the conventional venting allows DeeMaxx brakes to disperse heat faster. They're also able to shed moisture better, leading to less internal corrosion. The result is cooler-running, longer-lasting brakes that offer consistent performance.


DeeMaxx brakes are the only trailer brakes to satisfactorily pass the high standards of the SAE J2681 brake test. This test is designed to evaluate the friction performance of automotive brakes, so DeeMaxx's passing grade should tell you just how well made these products are.


Close-up image of DeeMaxx disc brake installation of brackets

The patented design of the caliper mounting bolt and sleeve makes installation easier while ensuring that the sleeves stay in place within the caliper. In addition, the side-support design of the caliper mounting bracket puts all of the weight on the bracket instead of on the bolts. This reduces premature wear and extends the life of the bolts, further ensuring optimal performance.


DeeMaxx brakes perform well even in the most demanding environments, which is one of the many reasons why they are preferred by law enforcement agencies like the Texas State Patrol, U.S. Border Patrol, and U.S. Coast Guard.


Great for Campers and Boat Trailers

If you own a trailer, you know that rust and corrosion will eventually creep up no matter where you tow, especially if your equipment doesn't have any kind of protective coating or plating. But if you tow your camper or trailer in the Midwest during the winter, or if you ever launch your boat in brackish water, you'll need even more protection because of the salt you'll likely encounter.


disc brake with signs of heavy rust and corrosion

The Maxx coating on the rotors, calipers, and brackets in this kit helps to ensure that DeeMaxx brakes don't end up looking like the one pictured above. It offers great corrosion protection, even with occasional use in freshwater and saltwater. Rust-resistant coatings are graded according to a salt spray rating. Basically, this rating shows the amount of time it takes for a material to show signs of corrosion when exposed to pure, continuous salt spray. Zinc plating typically begins to deteriorate after about 100 hours. Dacromet usually lasts for around 300 to 400 hours. DeeMaxx's Maxx coating lasts for more than 1,000 hours in the salt spray test.


The environment this test creates is much harsher than anything you'll ever experience in your journeys, but it provides a testament to how well DeeMaxx brakes resist rust and corrosion.


If you're living the salt life full-time or you live right on the coast, you'll probably want to invest in something that offers even more protection, like DeeMaxx kits that include stainless steel components for the ultimate in corrosion resistance.


Get a Safer, More Comfortable Ride

Say goodbye to the days of your truck being pushed and pulled by your trailer. Disc brakes provide a safer, more comfortable ride than drum brakes. They offer shorter stopping distances and deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds. So, you won't have to worry about things crashing around in your trailer or camper next time you reach unexpected traffic on the highway or debate if you can actually stop before that yellow light turns red.


Save Time and Money

More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes. Not only do disc brakes provide more controlled braking than drum brakes, but they also save you money by having fewer parts to maintain.


side-by-side comparison of an electric drum brake and a hydraulic disc brake

Unlike drum brakes, which have springs, magnets, and shoes that may need to be continually adjusted or replaced, disc brakes are virtually maintenance-free. There are no springs, cables, or other little components that you'll need to worry about failing.


close-up image of DeeMaxx disc brake caliper parts

The brake pads will naturally wear down, so eventually you'll have to replace them. But these pads are also way easier to replace than drum brake shoes. And the caliper - where the pads are housed - is located on the outside of the brake assembly. This means you just have to remove that one part to replace the brake pads rather than having to remove the entire assembly like you would with drum brakes. The same is true for the slip-on rotors in this kit.


instructions on how to bleed brakes laser etched into the back of a DeeMaxx disc brake caliper

DeeMaxx also has simple instructions for bleeding the brakes laser-etched on the back of the calipers. This convenient time saver means you'll always have the guidance you need on hand when the time comes for maintenance.

The parts themselves are great, but the packaging was AWFUL. A big box with two rotors in it, with loose calipers and pads banging around inside with no additional packaging material to cushion these parts. Disappointed in the etrailer customer service team, who passed the blame to the shippers. I'm sorry, but the shippers didn't package these...etrailer did.



by:

I previously purchased Deemax rotors, calipers with pads and wouldn’t fit my mounting brackets on my venture trailer. I called Stacy at customer service at etrailer and she worked with me and my issues to return the previous shipment (awaiting credit) . She had me buy 2 sets of the brake kits by Deemax which is for 4 wheels of rotors, calipers with pads and mounting brackets and they are great . The brakes and rotors on my trailer were shot, rusted beyond repair and I’ve started to tear them out and replace them all , the rusted bolts are they worst I’ve dealt with- see the photo for the look of the new rotors , bracket and still installing calipers.



by:

The package fit my boat trailer perfectly. Installation was fairly easy and I am ver pleased with the product. thanks



by:

Easy to order. Shipped and showed up f ast.



by:

Everything about this order went extremely well. Rotors and brakes are a major improvement of the standard equipment that came with Venture trailer. Simple to install and time will tell on longevity.



by:

DeeMaxx parts seem to last longer in our saltwater than the Kodiak. I had both until the Kodiaks locked up. I bought this set to replace the Kodiaks that were a couple years newer than the Deemaxx.

Fast, nice, happy

Perfect fit to the original trailer bra kes!

This particular combination was back ordered. Trevor kept me informed all the way through till it was delivered to my house. It was great working with him.

I purchased this to replace what the OEM had on my trailer. Easy install, but had a probem with it after install. etrailer could not help determine how to fix the issue, but gave me the number to the manufacturer. After several calls to DeeMaxx with no reponse I figured it out.



by:

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.



by:

Great brake system, starting to rust now but I dunk my trailer in saltwater 4 times a week. Thank you George J and team for quick shipping and maintaining contact even a full year after initial sale. Will be using etrailer for future purchases!



by:

Heavy duty mounting brackets and calipers. Very high quality.

Good product. Great service. Some damage occurred during shipping, but replacement parts were shipped free of charge.

Excellent brakes for my boat trailer.

DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit - 10" Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Maxx Coating - 3,500 lbs came fast and well packed. Thank you



by:

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.

The cap to the brake fluid broke in shipping wondering if u can send a new one

  • 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...

  • Could DeeMax Disc Brake Kit Work on 2014 Wesco Trailer
    Hey Joe, the DeMaxx Disc Brake Kit part # DE82FR will work on your Wesco trailer as long as it has 5,200-6k axle with idler hubs currently. If you are not sure what your trailer has currently go out and check the axle's sticker/tag for it's capacity info and then check the wheel bolt pattern. The hubs you have would need to be idlers currently without a brake drum for this slip on kit to fit. If you have a hub/drum currently this wouldn't slip onto that setup but you could go with the...

  • Can 5th Wheel Trailer With 6,000 lb Lippert Axles Change to Disc Brakes
    Hi Jacob, Yes, you can switch to disc brakes on your 5th wheel with 6,000 lb Lippert axles. I suppose you can go to idler hubs and then get slip-on brakes but you're much better off going with a full disc brake kit as it's better quality and designed to work together. But since you asked directly about idler hubs you can do that with Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 6,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 - Galvanized # 8-213-51UC1-EZ and DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor # DE82FR.

  • Parts Needed To Convert From Electric Drum Brakes To Hydraulic Disc Brakes
    Hey Shawn, The first thing to check is going to be what bearings and grease seal fit your axle's spindle. You can remove a hub and check the bearings and seal to see if the part numbers are still stamped onto them but you're most likely need to measure the spindle. Using a caliper # PTW80157 you'll measure points B, C, and D from the diagram below to determine the inner diameters of these components. You can measure the bore hole for the hub (also shown in diagram) to get the outer diameters....

  • Parts Needed for Disc Brake Conversion on 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2970RL
    Hello Terry; your Imagine 2970RL uses a 4,400 lb axle according to the Grand Design parts site. 4,400 lb axles are now obsolete so you will likely have to swap axles if you want to add disc brakes. Right now you have a 4,400 lb hub/drum with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. If you can find a 4,400 lb idler hub with a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern you could use the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE82FR which is a slip-on rotor. We only have a hub and drum assembly left for 4.4k axles so unfortunately, I...

    Thank you for providing that information. That is an EZ Loader custom trailer that uses # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearings.

  • Disc Brake Rotors For 15 Inch Wheels With 6 Lugs For Ranger Boat Trailer
    Hi Jim, For a set of disc brake rotors, calipers, and brake pads for your 15 inch wheels with 6 lugs what you can use is the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE82FR. These will slip over your 6-bolt idler hubs and give you the disc brakes you're looking for, just keep in mind they are for a 5-bolt brake mounting flange like # 4-44-1 so you're going to want to ensure that's the same mounting flange you have on your trailer.
