The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1258L12 you referenced is a fit for 12,000-lb Dexter and Lippert axles with leaf springs.

Keep in mind your current idler hubs need to have an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern and a 7-bolt brake flange. If you are not sure what bolt pattern you have I've added a link on this page to a help article that explains how to determine your bolt pattern. I have also added a link to a help article on adding disc brakes which you may find useful.

You can take a look at the linked help article on this page which details how to go about finding your bolt pattern. As for a brake mounting flange it will be on your axle already and will be similar to the flange that is shown in the accompanying photo, although with 7 bolts.
