Parts Needed to Convert Trailer with 7,000 Pound Axles from Drum Brakes to Hydraulic Disc Brakes
Question:
I’m planning to convert to disk brakes on our 5th wheel toy hauler when the weather breaks. It has two LCI axles rated at 7K lbs. each. with 12” drum brakes running 16” wheels. I would need the actuator too. The trailer is 39’ in length. What parts/equipment do you recommend for this project?

Expert Reply:
An excellent brake kit for your 7,000 pound axles is the Kodiak # K2HR712. You'll need inner bearing # 25580 and outer # 14125A. Also seal # RG06-070. These disc brakes have a raw finish and an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. Since you have a tandem axle trailer, # T4830000 will be the brake line kit for you.
If you're going to install electric over hydraulic brakes, the HydraStar # HBA16 is a what we recommend for an actuator. If your brakes will be just hydraulic disc brakes, then use the Titan with Electric Lockout # T4750720.
