I put disc brakes on my 38 foot 5th wheel travel trailer due to the poor brake quality of the manufacturer. I now drive on the highway with much greater confidence for our safety. The stopping power of these brakes is incredible. The quality of the brakes are superior. I installed them myself finding the instructions accurate and easy to follow. There was a small part missing out of the brake line kit and the part was overnited to me by E Trailer. I have purchased many items from this company and have found the products to be of top quality and fairly priced. The customer service is outstanding. Thank you.

Assembled easily. Made hooking up the plunging to my Kodiak calipers a breeze.
by: Herb D10/02/2019
I upgraded the 32" 12,000 lbs rated trailer to Electric/Hydraulic as the electric brakes really were not doing very much to help slow the trailer down. The overall upgrade included new 7,000# axles as well as a hydraulic converter next to the winch in the front of the trailer. This kit was perfect as it came with all the hardware needed to do the get the brake line almost to the front of the trailer. i did have to extend it a hair but that made only for one quick trip to the autoparts store versus many more if I had to do it from scratch and it was only because I wanted the pump in a specific location

If I ever get another big trailer, it will be with this axlebrake combo. The brakes work so much better than the all electric units ever did
by: Charles 01/04/2022
I got great service and even some advise on something they could not cross over to their product line. With regard to the brake line kit, the east west lines were too short and the long line from the actuator to the first axle was barely long enough for my 23’ trailer.

When looking for a replacement brake line kit, you will want to measure from the port on the back of the actuator to the T-Fitting where the lines split off and go to the separate brakes, which is typically right at the axle. There will be a short flexible line included to go from the back of the actuator to the steel line however if you measure this way the excess steel line can then be coiled up and out of the way. It is better to have a little extra rather than not enough.
by: Mary03/23/2017
Hard to believe its been a year already. The new hydraulic brake system works great. Took us across the mountains in N. Carolina all the way to Myrtle Beach and back with two horses in the trailer. Planning on going again this year. Love it and would deal with you all again.
by: Jim N12/07/2015
It's a good kit, but as it's universal I had to do some customizing to some of the lines.
With the amount of cutting and flaring of brake lines, I would have been better off going with scratch built brake lines.
by: Matt 08/26/2016
Great kit everything needed to install 4 wheel disk brake kit from the actuator to the calipers
by: Eduardo03/30/2022
Is a good product , but by the recommended rubber hose for the beginning of the trailer so the line will fit perfectly otherwise it will be short.
by: Donald12/14/2019
Kit had everything I needed to replumb the brake lines for my trailer.

- Complete Disk Surge Brake Setup Recommendation for a Rogue Tandem Axle Boat TrailerWe have everything you need, just not in one kit. For a disk brake kit that will bolt up to your 4 bolt brake flanges and will slip over your 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern you would want the part # K2R35D for a dacromet finish. Or if your trailer will see salt water I would recommend the stainless steel kit part # K2R35S. You will need a quantity of two of these kits for both axles. For a brake line kit you will need the part # DM5425. And then for a surge brake actuator you would want...
view full answer... - Disc Brake Conversion for 5th Wheel Trailer with 8-Lug/12-Inch Hub/Drums and Tandem 6K AxlesConverting a 5th wheel trailer from electric drum brakes to electric-over-hydraulic disc brakes will require a couple of items: the disc brake kit of hub/rotors and calipers, a brake line kit, an electric-over-hydraulic actuator, a breakaway kit and a brake controller such as the excellent Prodigy P3 # 90195. The linked article covers each of these items and is a good starting point for planning your project. A link is provided that will show you all disc brake kits with the 8-on-6-1/2-inch...
view full answer... - Best Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Trailer Disc BrakesWe prefer the Hydrastar Actuator part # HBA16 as it is the most reliable and works the best. This would be the best option for your trailer. We have the least amount of issues with this actuator and it is the one our installers like the most so we recommend it the highest. For a tandem axle brake line kit that uses rigid lines except for the lines that attach to the assemblies you would want the part # DM5425. Or if you wanted a kit that has the lines, a breakaway kit, and the actuator...
view full answer... - Parts Needed To Add Surge-Type Actuator And Brake Lines To Tandem trailer With Disc BrakesYou are correct that there is only one fluid outlet on the coupler, part # T4750800 you referenced. This is the master cylinder on the coupler that sends fluid through the brake lines to the brakes. I have attached a photo of the coupler that shows the attach point for the brake line, and also a drawing that shows how the lines on a typical tandem axle trailer are run. For a tandem axle with 4 disc brakes I recommend the Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit, part # DM5425. This kit includes...

- Can Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brake Kit be Installed on Torsion Axles on 2008 Forest River RVIf you want to convert your trailer's drum brakes to electric-over-hydraulic disc brakes you'll need to match up the weight capacity of the axles and brake kit and find one that uses the same brake flange, bearings and bolt pattern as your existing hubs in order to ensure that the new hub-and-rotor assemblies will fit your existing spindles and wheels. You may want to take a look at the linked article that covers the details of converting a trailer to disc brakes. We may not offer an all-inclusive...
view full answer... - Fitment of Kodiak Disc Brakes on a 2007 Keystone Montana 2980 RLGood news, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR712E will work for your 2007 Keystone Montana 2980 RL. The caliper mounting bracket will fit your standard 5 bolt configuration which is used by 5.2K, 6K, and 7K axles. The bearing kit you will need for this brake kit is # BK3-200. Something to keep in mind is that if you previously didn't have hydraulic brakes you will need a brake actuator like # HBA16 and a brake line kit like # DM5425. We do have a HydraStar Kit # CAR-HBA16-2 that includes...

Your existing bearings should have the reference numbers stamped into the bearing cage. If you're not sure about the capacity of your axle, if you can provide the inner and outer bearing reference numbers, and the bolt pattern of your wheels I can determine the axle capacity. With that information, I can recommend...
view full answer... - Brake Lines and Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes on 8,000 lb AxlesThe Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # DM5425 will work for your disc brake set up, but it is not the exact same part, it does have different length fittings. The Dexter DX Series Electric Over Hydraulic Brake Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # K71-651 is compatible with your axles. These actuators don't have a weight capacity, they put out a certain amount of pressure that will work with either disc or drum brakes, with disc brakes like yours needing more pressure. They will be effective...
view full answer... - What Size Brake Line Should be Used with the Titan Actuator part # T4750800The Titan actuator part # T4750800 that you referenced is designed to work with the standard trailer brake line size of 3/16 inch like what comes with the part # DM5425.
view full answer... - Using Electric Over Hydraulic Trailer Brake Actuator on Airstream Trailer With Excella Vacuum BrakesFrom what I've read online, in its day, the Airstream Excella vacuum braking system worked very well, but at this point, they're obsolete. Replacement parts are difficult to find and the parts that would need to install on the vehicle aren't readily available. I saw several references in the forums to folks who simply changed their brakes to an electric drum system, which would be your least expensive option. If you wish to go this route, I'd need to know your inner and outer bearing reference...

This comes with all of the fitting, lines and clips needed an would work well. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - How to Add Hydraulic Drum or Disc Brakes to a Pontoon Boat TrailerYou can equip your pontoon boat trailer with either hydraulic drum or hydraulic disc brakes. You are correct that electric brakes are not a good option since water and electricity don't get along well together. You can get a start by reviewing the two linked articles concerning how to add hydraulic brakes to a trailer. There is an article for the drum brake application and one for disc brakes. Each of these gives you a full picture of the things to confirm and the parts required. Disc...
view full answer... - Brake Controller Recommendation for a Trailer with Electric Over Hydraulic BrakesI have a solution for you, but the Prodigy RF Brake controller part # TK94FR is not compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes. Instead I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885 as this controller is compatible with EOH brakes. The Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # DM5425 would work fine with AL-Ko calipers. The Adapter part # F77R would work for converting the 7-way round he has on his trailer. A better solution would be to not use an adapter and match both the...
view full answer... - Single Axle Brake Line Kit Needed for Triple Axle Trailer to Make a Triple Axle Disc Brake KitYou wouldn't need a triple axle brake line kit, # HS496-253, because the Titan Disc Brake Kit # T4843800 already comes with 2/3 of what you need. So you would need a single axle kit # DM5424 or # DM5425.
view full answer... - Dimensions of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R526DI went out into our warehouse to get all of the dimensions you requested. The inner diameter of the center hole for the rotor is 3.6 inches. The diameter of the bolt holes in the rotor are .52 of an inch. From the mounting surface of the rotor to the rotor center measures 2.25 inches. From the mounting surface of the caliper to the rotor center measures 3.15 inches. On the thicker side of the caliper the distance from the mounting flange to nearest portion of the rotor is 2.6 inches. On...

The Kodiak Hydraulic brake line kit for tandem axle you asked about # 18TA-BLKIT will absolutely work with these two components, but you may want a longer kit for your application. These kits will also work: HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle - 25' Long, 1/4" Main Line # HS496-252 Demco...
view full answer... - Electric Over Hydraulic Disc Brake Kit Recommendation for AL KO 6k AxlesThanks for getting me the information I would need to help you pick out a disc brake kit. I was able to determine that you have inner bearing 25580 and outer bearing 14125A so the kit you would need would be the part # K2HR712. You would need two of these kits for all of your axles. For a tandem axle brake line kit you would want the part # DM5425 and for an electric over hydraulic actuator we like the Hydrastar the best here, part # HBA16.
view full answer... - Difference Between Drum & Disc Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kits For Tandem Axle TrailersThe difference is that the brake line kits for hydraulic drum brakes have two flexible hoses while the kits for disc brakes (which can be used with drum brakes) have four flexible hoses to connect to the calipers. The calipers "float" and need to move a bit which is why the added flexible lines are needed; so you'll want to choose based on what brakes you have: - Hydraulic Drum Brakes: Demco Hydraulic Brake Line Kit for Tandem Axle Trailers # DM5429 - Hydraulic Disc Brakes: Demco Hydraulic...
view full answer... - Recommended Parts to Convert Electric Brakes on 5th Wheel to Electric Over HydraulicWe don't offer a complete kit for 7K axles, but we do have hub/rotors or slip on rotors that could work depending on the inner and outer wheel bearings or wheel bolt pattern your hubs currently use. For instance, if your hubs use a 25580 inner bearing and a 14125A outer bearing, two of the Kodiak # K2HR712E kits which include the hub/rotors, calipers and caliper brackets would be a good start. The bearings and races are included. You'd also need a line kit like part # DM5425 and an electric...

For the actuator you would want the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 that comes with the breakaway kit. For a tandem axle brake line kit you would then want the # DM5425, and then for a disk brake kit for 5,200 lb axles you would want the part # K2HR526DKG. The hubs have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and would require the bearings part # 25580 and # 15123...
view full answer... - Brake Line Kit for Tandem Axle Disc BrakesYes we do. I recommend using part # 9579-2 line kit. If you are installing the kit on a utility trailer or a trailer that has a floor, you can run the lines along the underside of the trailer. If you have a boat trailer, you will need additional flex lines to make the transition between the rigid brake lines at each axle. I recommend using two of part # 80910.
view full answer... - Stainless Steel Rotor, Caliper, and Additional Components for 8,000 Pound Dexter AxlesWe have a couple different options for you to upgrade the components on your boat trailer. For a kit that comes with a hub and rotor, you can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, 13 Inch Hub/Rotor with 8 on 6-1/2 Wheel Bolt Pattern for 8,000 Pound Dexter Axles # K2HR89DDS. This kit comes with dacromet-plated, cast iron rotor-and-hub assemblies and mounting brackets, stainless steel calipers, and stainless steel mounting bolts. The bearings, races, and seal measurements you provided match those...

The brake line kit I recommend is the Demco hydraulic brake line kit for tandem axle trailers # DM5425. This kit will provide lines and fittings needed to run brake fluid from surge brake actuator to trailer brakes. This kit is also the most popular one we currently offer. Please view the installation video I included as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Disc Brakes for a Magic Boat Trailer with 3,500 Pound Tandem AxlesAdding a disc brake system will be a great addition to your Magic boat trailer. The parts you will need are a brake mounting flange, spindle, disc brake assembly, hydraulic disc brake actuator and brake line kit. I recommend the Kodiak disc brake kit # K2R35DKG because it has rust resistant disc brakes and is great for boat trailers. The cast iron, slip on over the hub rotors are great because you won't need to replace your entire hub assembly. Note, as long as your bolt pattern is 5...
