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 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.


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 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.


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.


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.


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.


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.


diagram showing how to measure even bolt pattern

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.


diagram showing how to measure odd bolt pattern

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.

  • Disc Brake Kit And Actuator For A Grand Design 311BHS
    Hello Dave. I recommend the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE28YR. This uses a corrosion-resistant Maxx coat finish, which is similar to Dacromet or Zinc only better. So not as expensive as stainless, but still good rust resistance. These hubs have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern and are 6K rated. This can be used with the brake line kit # 20TA-BLKIT which comes with an 20' long main line. Please do confirm that this line will be appropriately sized for your trailer. We do offer longer lines if needed....

  • DeeMax Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for Cherokee 274VFK with 5,200 lb Axles
    Hey Royce, the great thing about 5,200 lb trailer axles is that they use the same components as 6k axles so for a disc brake kit from DeeMax that is a fit for your Lippert 5,200 lb axles you'd want the part # DE28YR and you'd be set. Then for a kit that comes with everything else you'd need to convert to disc brakes you'd want the part # HBA16-252-82 and you'd be set with the nicest disc brake conversion you can get for your camper.

  • Why Are Some Brakes Not Compatible With 17" Wheels On My Trailer?
    Hey Steve, do you know if you have electric brakes or hydraulic? This will help narrow it down. But to answer your question, there is some worry when trying to run a larger wheel. For example, the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 # 8-201-9UC3-EZ works with electric or hydraulic brakes, and is compatible with 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" wheels due to clearance and fitment issues. It's possible this COULD work with your 17" wheels, but Dexter...

  • Troubleshooting Leaf Spring Coming In Contact With Brake Mounting Flange Bolt
    Hey Eric, Using only 4 of the 5 mounting holes on # DE28YR is not recommended when installing new brakes. There is a chance of failure that could cause a lot more problems, it is best to install them exactly how they should be. With that said by far the most common cause of that is a sagging leaf spring, or damaged springs/hangers or other suspension components. Since the brakes are brand new its likely an issue with the suspension components. I would inspect your suspension and see...

  • Picking Out Disc Brake Components for EZ Loader Trailer
    Hey Paul, can you get me the axle capacity of each of your axles? It would seem most likely you had 3,500 lb axles but based on your bolt pattern that doesn't quite add up so it's best to verify that first so we can make sure we get correct fitting kits. It should be on the axle tube on a sticker but if not you could pull a hub and get me the bearing numbers out of that. In the meantime check out the links I attached on this page that detail how to pick out disc brake components for a trailer.

    Well first of all, Doug, you get a gold star for the information you provided. Thank you! We've got some drum brakes like the kit # AKFBBRK-7-D that have a Dacromet finish, but none of the hub/drum kits for a 5K axle have that kind of a finish so only like half of your brake system will be what we would consider marine grade.

    Hi Steve! The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit - 12" Hub/Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Maxx Coating - 6,000 lbs # DE28YR will get you most of the way there and will match the 6,000 pound axle Dexter Bearing Kit, 15123/ 25580 Bearings, 10-36 Seal # DX26ER you have purchased a few times, but you will also need to swap out your actuator.
