I am not sure if you are looking to convert from an electric drum brake to a hydraulic disc brake or from a hydraulic drum brake to a hydraulic disc brake but I will provide my recommendations for each option below.

Electric Drum to Hydraulic Disc:

Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR526D (6 on 5-1/2")
HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # HBA16-252-82 (Single/Tandem Axles)

Hydraulic Drum to Hydraulic Disc:

Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR526D (6 on 5-1/2")
HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # HS381-9067

Please keep in mind that either kit is deigned to be used on a trailer that has 5,200 lbs - 6,000 lbs axles, a 5 bolt brake mounting flange, and wheels with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern. If your existing axle/wheels do not match these requirements then please let me know and I would be happy to adjust my recommendations accordingly.
