Off-Road Axle Brake Kits & Disc Brake Conversions
Build the braking system around your axle, wheel end, and intended use. Crane Axle offers disc brake conversion kits, lightweight Wilwood brake packages, calipers, brackets, and complete brake solutions for GM 14-Bolt, Dana 60, Ford Super Duty unit bearing, and Crane Magnum Knuckle axle applications.
Choosing the right axle brake kit is about more than stopping power. Rotor and caliper size, wheel clearance, wheel-end configuration, unsprung weight, and intended vehicle use all matter. A lightweight rock crawler may benefit from a different brake package than a heavy trail rig or high-speed competition buggy. Use the guide below to narrow down the brake system that fits your axle build.
