EPBX - Electronic Braking Systems

Traditional 1-ton axle swaps can introduce larger calipers that require more hydraulic fluid than the factory system was designed to deliver, contributing to excessive pedal travel and a soft or spongy pedal.

EPBX takes a different approach. The rear calipers use hydraulic piston sizing comparable to the Jeep Gladiator JT and are engineered to reduce the need for master cylinder or booster changes on supported applications, while providing electronic parking brake capability within the same caliper.

EPBX combines a 14-inch rear rotor with an OE-derived caliper and a rotor designed around the 8x6.5-inch wheel bolt pattern. The package is engineered for strong braking performance without unnecessary rotor weight.

• 14-inch rotor package: Designed as a lighter-weight alternative to traditional 1-ton rear brake arrangements using comparable 13-inch rotors.
• Purposeful rotor design: A shallower rotor hat eliminates the need to package an internal mechanical parking brake and helps reduce rotor mass.
• OE-based service components: Uses production-derived calipers and rotors for practical replacement-part sourcing. Replacement rotors require the specified center-bore machining before installation.
• Integrated caliper EPB: Hydraulic braking and electric parking actuation share the same caliper assembly.

Comparative weight and stopping-performance claims will be finalized after controlled testing on representative axle and vehicle combinations.

EPBX positions the caliper higher and farther from trail obstacles than typical low-mounted 1-ton rear brake configurations. The elevated clocking is also designed with brake bleeding access in mind.

The caliper and actuator package is designed not to project farther inward than the conventional 1-ton brake arrangement it replaces, helping preserve the space needed for suspension links, axle brackets, and other components.
