How to Determine Correct Disc Brakes for Trailer
Question:
Looking for a disc brake kit for my 2020 rockwood trailer, it is equiped with 5k dexter torque flex axles. Is there a kit for that style axle and suspension?

Where there are no specific fits for your trailer, there are disc brakes that can work. You didn't say if you were looking for slip-on or complete hub assemblies, but I can help you out. For slip on rotors, you just need to know your brake mounting flange and hub's wheel bolt pattern.
For example, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12" Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Stainless Steel - 5,200 lbs to 6,000 lbs # K2R526S requires your axle have a 5-bolt brake mounting flange and a hub with a 6 on 5-1/2" wheel bolt pattern.
If you wanted an entire new hub and rotor, you will have to either measure your spindle or get the part numbers from the existing bearings and seal to ensure the right fit. have added a link below to a help article on what is required to hydraulic disc brakes, as well as a link to our disc brake kits. If you let me know if you were looking for just a slip-on or entire hub assembly I can point you in the right direction.
