Question:
I have a 2023 Cougar 368MBI that I would like to do a DeeMaxx disc brake conversion. Which DeeMaxx kit would I need? The big number on the axle sticker is 513386. There is a Dex 6760401. I have dual 6000lb axles. Thank you.

Hey Scott, thanks for the information and welcome back! The DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit item # DE28YR is going to be the correct one for your Keystone Cougar with 6,000 lbs axles. This kit comes with everything you'll need to convert a single axle over to disc brakes so you'll need two sets. These rotors work with 15" or larger wheels.
Since the 6,000 lbs axle disc brake setups don't come with the lines and actuator, here are the other parts you'll need:
DeeMaxx Alpha G1600 Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes item # DE47SR
25' Long Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit item # HS496-252
What kind of brake controller do you have in your truck? You'll need to have one with an EOH setting for your disc brake conversion.
