The Kodiak 13" XL-Lube Hub and Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - E-Coat Finish - 9/16" Bolts - 8,000 lbs # K2HR8D11E9 are the largest rotor hubs we carry. They are compatible with torsion axles and disc brake rated EOH systems which have a higher 1600 psi level than drum brake actuators.
I recommend the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16. Our installers all really like how this system performs compared to the others and it is also the one we see the fewest troubleshooting questions on due to how reliable it is.
