Specs:
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.
Kodiak's slip-on, cast iron rotor makes it easy to convert an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Simply place the rotor over your hub. It is most often wheel bolt piloted for a loose fit and then held in place by the wheel itself. With a separate rotor and hub, you can easily repair or replace one element of your brake system without having to junk the whole thing.
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 nickel-chrome-plated 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 a 7-bolt brake flange configuration, 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.
Note: These kits will not fit Dexter axles that came from the factory with Dexter disc brakes. They will only fit axles that come with drums or idler hubs.

These work great. Be cautious with 16" wheels though. The caliper will touch the rim but in my case it buffed in the clearance necessary. We used this on a tandem dual trailer and equipped it with the electric over hydraulic pump. Significantly better stopping power than running traditional magnet drums.
These are the pics I took when I was done. Took two days to do but we'll worth it. I took pics after first load and now it feels good to actually stop with out wondering if the magnets were going to fail. I appreciate the fast shipping . The only thing I had to pick up was 25 feet of brake line,15 feet was not going to be anough . Other then this. I love it. Thank you very much and God bless
Nice upgrade from electric drum brakes to disc brakes. Clearance on calipers to my 16” steel trailer rims was tight. May upgrade to 17.5” rims in the future.
Great upgrade over the electric over electric drum brakes. Fit and finish was great. Definitely well wort the money for the disc brake upgrade.
I have brakes, electric brakes should be outlawed.
Best thing I ever done was putting theses on my trailer.
Dimensions on caliper are not right , need to do some gridding . It was touching the inside of the rims. Have to move flange back doo to difference in thickness of drum to disc . Have not taken to the hills , but I'm shore it will stop.
Before ordering I submitted a question and received a prompt reply. I followed up and ordered the Disc brake conversion kit and it only took 2 days!! You cant beat the price or door to door service.

great, it fit perfectly
Everything was as advertised

This should be standard equipment. Much better than magnetic brakes. After a year in service I have had zero issues.
