A lift axle can be provided on a truck during or after manufacturing to allow the truck to carry more load. The lift axle can be selectively lifted above the road (e.g., when the truck is empty) and lowered onto the road (e.g., when carrying load requiring an extra axle). There are various challenges in designing a braking system for a lift axle. The embodiments presented herein provide a lift axle brake system that can overcome these challenges. In one embodiment, a lift axle brake system is used that is based on a brake system used to brake a towed vehicle towed by a towing vehicle. Other embodiments are provided.
