1/2" Wheel bolts are included with this 2-assembly brake kit. Machine-finished rotors, e-coated calipers and e-coated mounting brackets fit 7,000-lb axles and 16" and larger wheels. The 13" rotor features an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.

Bearing, Race and Seal Information
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes. Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
The integral hub-and-rotor is made from cast iron, matching SAE specifications. Cast iron is ideal for high-temperature operations and offers a favorable friction coefficient to ensure adequate stopping power. Kodiak's rotors are vented to effectively dissipate heat, dramatically reducing the incidence of heat-related damage. Furthermore, machined disc brakes minimize the chance of contamination between the hub and rotor, resulting in excellent performance and long life.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Designed for axles with 5-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty ductile iron that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.

1/2" Wheel bolts are included with this 2-assembly brake kit. Machine-finished rotors, e-coated calipers and e-coated mounting brackets fit 7,000-lb axles and 16" and larger wheels. The 13" rotor features an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern.After a lot of research with the help of etrailer support I purchased the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit K2HR712 and installed on a 2013 Dutchmen Rubicon 2900 with 7K lippert axles to replace the 13” Electric drum brakes. I discovered any questions about whether the disc hubs would fit my axle was eliminated when I realized I just had to verify the wheel bearing numbers for the disc hubs were the same as what was on my axles. (bearings, caps and seals do not come with the kit and need to be ordered separately).
My trailer had dual axles, the disc kits came in separate boxes that did fairly well in shipping, nothing poking out of the boxes or anything. Parts matched and fitted without any problems. Again, etrailer support was very helpful in getting the correct parts and any questions I had during the installation. I could have done this myself however I choose to have a brake tech do the hydraulic lines and bleed the system out. Very satisfied with the product and support. Tried to upload pictures but kept getting errors.
The product was very good and fit as I thought. It would be important to ensure you get the right parts as not every trailer is the same. Also the Kodiak directions are terrible, if you know anything about brakes then it still should be easy, but there are a few things that need to be checked while installing

IM CONCERNED ABOUT THE SIZE OF THE WHEEL LUGS. I HAVE 916 STUDS NOW BUT THE KITS ALL COME WITH 1/2 STUDS. WILL MY 16 INCH ALUMINUM WHEELS STILL BOLT ONTO THE 1/2 LUGS? IM SWITCHING FROM ELECTRIC OVER TO DISC BRAKES.
I couldn't be happier. Everything went together like greased lighting! Fit my Montana 3400RL perfectly! I am delighted. Everything has a nice backed on finish for an excellent product. I highly recommend it!

This has been the best thing I could have ever done! Works fantastic!
I put Kodiak disc brakes on my dump trailer I now have two trailers with disc brakes on them they work so much better than drum brakes a lot safer towing definitely worth the time and money
Etrailer is your one stop shop! They have everything for your truck and trailers!! Shipping is fast and free and they have the best prices around!! Ordered a pair of disk brakes for my tailer and recived them a coupe of days before the estimated delivery date! About to order another pair! Not my first or last!
Best thing you could ever do to a trailer, why these are not standard on trailers i have no idea
Smoother braking and emergency stop don't lock up as easy.
Good kit brake ! kit Easy to install, I like. ??
Good product but durable as regular drums, i have had 3 broken from the part where the outer bearing is
Great customer service and great shipping time. Selection and price is outstanding
good people, good servicde
Fast Shipping.
Great service....

Kodiak disc brakes are great. They are still doing the great job they did from day one. these will stop the trailer during panic stop situations which was something I could have never counted on my elect brakes to do.
