The DeeMaxx Difference
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 rotor to provide even more ventilation than other brands. Combining these holes with the conventional venting design 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.
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.
The Maxx coating on the rotors, calipers, and brackets in this brake 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 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.
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.
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.
This particular kit can save you time and money over other disc brakes on the market as well. A slip-on rotor may be easier to install initially, but water can find its way between the rotor and your existing hub, causing uneven rotor wear or runout. With a 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly, water and debris can't get in to cause any corrosion or contamination.
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.
Determining the Bolt Pattern
If you want to remount your existing wheels after installing these brakes, you'll need a kit that offers the same bolt pattern. To determine the bolt pattern, count the number of bolt holes (or lug nuts) on your trailer's wheel. This will give you the first number in the pattern. To find the second number, just measure the distance between a bolt hole and the bolt hole across from it.
For example, on wheels with an even number of bolt holes: 6 on 5-1/2" means 6 bolt holes with 5-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the center of the hole across from it.
And with an odd number of bolt holes: 5 on 4-1/2" means 5 bolt holes with 4-1/2" from the center of 1 hole to the farthest edge of one of the 2 farthest bolt holes.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a look at the DeeMaxx 13 inch Hub and Rotor Assembly Kit, with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern, the five eighths inch diameter studs. These have a Maxx coating on them and it's for 8,000 pound axles. Now this kit here will let you upgrade your trailer from drum to disc brakes for superior performance. It will include everything I have laid out here on the table. Starts with the two Maxx coat, cast iron hub and rotor assemblies with the pre-installed bearing races.
The two inner bearings, the two outer bearings, the two grease seals, the two easy lube grease caps, 16 of the five eighths inch by 18 size lug nuts, two of the Maxx coated calipers, with brake pads and bolts, and two of the max coat caliper mounting brackets. Now this kit will also require a hydraulic brake actuator that's rated at 1500 PSI or above and the brake lines to activate the brakes. Those items we do sell separately. This kit here is great for towing and launching your boat in fresh or brackish type water. The corrosion resistant max coat finish on the hub rotors, the Calipers and the brackets, all have a salt spray rating over 1000 hours.
What's nice is on the one piece hub and rotors, you can see these holes in the side of the hat section, that allows water to drain easily. Those are drainage holes, helps further minimize corrosion. Now this kit will offer dramatically shorter stopping distances and smooth controlled braking. The brake pads, which are in the calipers, they are ceramic brake pads. They'll increase your stopping power and they do use two and a quarter inch diameter stainless steel pistons, to provide a fast responsive braking.
This kit does require minimal maintenance. It'll save you time and money. One of the nice features on this, I wanted to zoom in and just show you on the calipers themselves. You can see what they've done, is they've actually laser etched instructions to take the guesswork out of installing and even bleeding The brakes. You can see they're etched on the calipers themselves.
Now the hub and rotors, these are a one piece hub and rotor assembly, so it reduces the chance of uneven rotor wear. The vented design right here, the vents that go all the way around, these will help dissipate the heat faster, prevent premature brake pad wear. And they use, they are a high quality, automotive grade construction, which is long lasting. The fit for this kit, it fits the axles of the Dexter 8,000 pound axles, with the number 42 spindle. The wheel size that'll fit on this is 16 inches and larger. We mentioned the bolt pattern of eight on six and a half inches wheel bolt diameter of five eights of an inch, which will accept the five eighths inch lug nuts. The rotor diameter itself is 13 inches. And if you look at the caliper brackets, you notice these have four bolt holes on them, so they are designed to fit onto a brake flange on your axle. That's a four bolt configuration. But that's gonna do it for a look at the DeeMaxx 13 inch Hub and Rotor Assembly Kit with the eight on six and a half inch bolt pattern, five eighths inch studs, and the Maxx coating.
