The linked page displays our 7K-rated disc brake kits. These include kits that have stainless steel components.

I also linked a helpful article that covers the whole process of installing disc brakes on a trailer. The article includes a table of all the items needed, including components like brake lines, electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuators and breakaway kits. The table includes links to each item to make it easy to choose your preferred components.

Stainless disc brake kit # K2HR79DS from Kodiak, for example, features calipers, bolts and mounting brackets made of stainless steel along with Dacromet-plated hub/rotor assemblies. These hubs fit on a #42 spindle and use bearing set # 25580 and # 02475 and seal # RG06-070. This kit is compatible with your axle.

An electric-over-hydraulic disc brake actuator such as the HydraStar # HBA16 will require an electrical adapter kit # HBA-CAM in order to work properly with your GM factory trailer brake controller. If you wish to install a directly compatible aftermarket unit like the Prodigy P3 # 90195 then no adapter is needed since the P3 can operate with EOH systems.
