Disc Brakes
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.
Over-the-Hub Rotor
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.
Calipers
Kodiak calipers are constructed of stainless steel to prevent flexing and rust. 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.
Mounting Brackets
Designed for axles with 4-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant dacromate-plated steel 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.

This is a great product and is easy to install. I have had Kodiak brakes on all of my boat trailers
by: Jack11/24/2023
I HAVE THIS SET UP WITH FULL STAINLESS ON MY BOAT AXLE #1, BUT FOR AXLE #2 I FIGURED I WOULD TRY THE STAINLESS/DACROMET SET UP. NOT INSTALLED YET BUT ALL LOOKS GOOD. I ONLY HOPE I DONT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH ONE OF THE CALIPERS LEAKING WHERE THE BRAKE LINE FITTING SCREWS IN LIKE THE 1ST SET OF STAINLESS CLIPERS!
by: Terry02/11/2022
Installed this new Kodiak Disc Brake kit to replace a Tie Down Engineering set. The performance of these new brakes is phenomenal. I only have one season on them in and out of the salt water. I'm hoping that the Stainless Steel calipers will stand up over time.

Working great. Fits my Venture tandem axel trailer.
by: Janice03/09/2023
Awesome product, very happy with the quality. As with the other package I received, could have been boxed a little better. one of the caliper brackets was starting to poke through the box and had poked into one of the internal boxes housing one of the rotors. Luckily no damage was sustained.
by: Brandon08/29/2022
After one year and many trips to salt water, these are holding up about as well as you can expect them to. Way better than the cheap sets. No rust on the calipers at all. I do rinse trailer in fresh water after every trip.
by: Frank 03/29/2021
Easy install on to my double axel EZ-Loader boat trailer. I replaced the factory oil bath hubs with new hubs and the brake drums/backing plate units with this disc brake kits. It all works really good! My boat & trailer sees a lot of salt water/Puget Sound. I've very happy with this set-up! Smooth stops!

Fast service and great products. Easy i nstall.

Submitted my order and it was shipped that same day. Order arrived earlier than was projected so I got my trailer together and was out on the water
Will definitely recommend you guys.

After one year the brakes work just like they are brand new The only thing I should have done was buy SS rotors.
by: Jon 12/16/2021
Good product-WAY better than the factory brakes that came on my EZloader! Fair price. Easy to order.
by: William 09/07/2022
Shipped the day I ordered and delivered today, within three days. Well packed. The calipers and rotors are much more substantial than another brand I am replacing them with but I have not yet installed them.
by: B. Haines03/25/2011
Products were delivered very quickly. Easy directions and installation. I just wish I would have known extra hardware would be required to install products.
Tried to talk with etrailer about the addtional bolts required but they could not offer much information. They did try to answer my questions though.
I used these guys twice and will use them again!
by: Brett01/18/2023
Working as they were designed too

Quick processing, delivery and great customer communication; this is the reason I will make future etrailer purchases.

- Stainless Steel Kodiak Disc Brake Kit for 10 inch Rotor and 5 Lug Bolt PatternFor a Dacromet and Stainless Steel Kodiak slip on kit that will fit your current setup you'd want the part # K2R35DS and you'd be set. This has Dacromet coated rotors and stainless calipers.
view full answer... - Can an Older Car Trailer Have New Kodiak Disc Brakes InstalledAs long as there is a brake mounting flange on the spindle of your trailer axle there should be a way to get new disc brakes on the trailer. Basically you would need to first determine what spindle you have on your trailer so that we can figure out what hub/rotors are going to fit. If you check out the help article I attached you will see a guide that will walk you through the entire process. The part # K2R35DS that you referenced is a slip on kit that will fit over idler hubs on a trailer...
view full answer... - What Additional Hardware is Required to Install a Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DSI spoke with my contact at Kodiak about the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, part # K2R35DS, and found out what is included and what you would need to supply. Basically, all you will need to supply is the bolts that the bracket to the axle. Other than that everything else should be included. I attached installation instructions for this product below for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Best Disc Trailer Brake Kit for Salt Water Use on 3500 Pound AxleThe Kodiak disc brake kit # K2R35DS is made up of Dacromet and stainless steel components. Dacromet has a 400 to 600 hour salt spray rating while stainless steel is about as corrosion resistant as you can get. Still when using these items in a salt water environment be sure to hose them off after use with fresh water. For the absolute best in corrosion resistance go with an all stainless kit like # K2R35S. I have linked installation details for you. I have also included a link to our FAQ...
view full answer... - Rotor Size of Kodiak Disc Brake Kit for 3,500 lb AxlesThe size of your current rotors are not indicative of the rotors you can replace them with. The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DS has 10" rotors but in order for the kit to work you only need to ensure you have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange, #84 spindles, as well as wheels that have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and are at least 14" in diameter.
view full answer... - Disc Brakes Recommendation For 3500 Lb Boat TrailerThe Kodiak disc brake kit you asked about, part # K2R35DS, will fit 3500 pound axles with wheel sizes 14 inches or larger. The 10 inch rotors have a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. The additional 1/2 inch would mean the wheels would indeed be mounted approximately 1/4 inch further out on each axle. The existing hubs along with the bearings and races would have to be removed. You mentioned that the axle has a 4 bolt flange already welded to it. I have attached a photo of how the brake mounting...

- Are Brakes Pad Included in Kodiak Dacromet and Stainless Steel Disc Brake Kit K2R35DSThe self-adjusting stainless steel calipers are included in Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DS and do have brake pads installed on them. The calipers feature a 2-1/4-inch stainless steel piston that is 30-percent larger than those in other brands. The included caliper mounting hardware is also stainless steel.

This can be confirmed by contacting Dexter with the serial number off the axle. This is either on the sticker for the axle or stamped into the axle tube on the rear of the passenger side of the axle. They can confirm both the spindle seal diameter of 1.72" and the hub bore of 1.98". You can also do this with a Digital Caliper # PTW80157. I have linked...

- Will the Additional Width from Slip-Over Rotors Affect the Fit of the Brake Calipers on a TrailerThere is some additional width added when using the slip-over rotors like # K2R35DS. This is true on every application that uses this set up. The brackets and calipers are designed for this so they will line up just fine. The wheels and tires will just be 1/2 inch further out on each side. You will need to make sure that your existing axles have brake mounting flanges in order to add brakes to the trailer. If you do not have a 4-bolt mounting flange on each end of the axle, # 4-35, you...
view full answer... - Do 10 Inch Kodiak Stainless Steel Disc Brakes Work With Oil Bath HubsYes, you can keep your oil bath hubs and use the Kodiak disc brakes; you mentioned a salt water environment and stainless steel brakes so you have two options, with the all-stainless steel being the best in terms of corrosion resistance, as you can see by the salt spray ratings of each: - 300- to 400-Hour Salt-Spray Rating: Dacromet and Stainless Steel: Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DS - 1,000-Hour Salt-Spray Rating: Stainless Steel: Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35S In order to be sure...
view full answer... - Replacement Rotors and Calipers for Oil Bath HubAs long as your hubs are in good condition, a slip-over kit like the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DS that you referenced will work well and be easiest to replace the rotors and calipers. You will want to ensure that the kit matches your hubs. The # K2R35DS kit has a 10 inch rotor with 5 on 4-1/2 inch wheel bolt pattern and is designed for 3,500 pound axles. I've attached the product page for all of our disc brake kits with rotors for you. If the # K2R35DS does not work for your hub, you...
view full answer... - How to Determine Correct Over-the-Hub Disc Brakes for Boat TrailerThere are a few things that you will need to know in order to choose the right disc brake kit for your 2003 DHM boat trailer. I assume you have idler hubs and are replacing your brakes so you already have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange # 4-35 as well as an actuator and brake lines. If so, the first thing you need to know to get the right brakes is the axle capacity you have, and the other is your bolt pattern. If you aren't sure what your bolt pattern is I've linked a help article as...

But you will need to make sure they are the exact same dimensions as the ones designed to work with the kit you are interested in. But honestly, anytime you change brake pads you are supposed to either replace the rotors or have them machined. And at the price of just getting new ones in Dacromet or Silver Cadmium (which are both reasonably priced and offer good corrosion resistance)...
view full answer... - What Kodiak Brake Hardware is Compatible with Tie-Down Brakes on a Load Rite TrailerI have contacted the two manufacturers but I have been unable to confirm the compatibility of the rotors from one company with the calipers from the other. Depending on how tightly and for how long the original calipers have been frozen in their current position, it may be that your rotors have been damaged by scoring or corrosion. We always recommend that all braking system parts be replaced at the same time using rotors and calipers from the same manufacturer, which ensures both compatibility...

The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit with 10" Rotors (Dacromet and KodaGuard) part # K2R35DKG comes with stainless steel backing plates on the pads. We also offer the Kodiak Ceramic Brake Pads w/Stainless Steel Backing Plate part # K225CPSS seperately.
view full answer... - How To Find Correct Replacement Hubs for Skeeter SX2250 TrailerI have a few options for you to help with identifying the correct hubs on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find the correct hubs. The Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K for example is for 3,500 lb axles and uses L68149 and L44649 bearings. The other option would be to take the hubs off the trailer and either read...

- Diameter of Kodiak Rotor FlangeThe inside flange diameter of the rotor from the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R35DS measures 3-11/16" and the outside diameter of the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub # 84655UC1 measures 2", though please be aware that you should not drill a new wheel bolt pattern on the rotor; doing so would compromise the integrity of the rotor and would not be safe. What you need to do instead is either use a 12" rotor with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern such as # K2R526S or get a new idler hub assembly with a 5 bolt...

To upgrade to disc brakes, you will basically need to replace everything except the brake lines which can be blown out with compressed air.

The Stainless calipers and disc brake set are still functioning great after 2 years. I also installed an Electric over Hydraulic brake actuator to replace the surge brake actuator
