We have all the parts you need to swap from electric drum brakes to electric over hydraulic brakes on your 2018 Keystone Raptor 355TS.

The first thing you will need are a hub and rotor disc brake kit. I was able to find that your '18 Raptor 355TS has a pair of 7,000 lb Dexter axles so you will need two of the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 7,000-lb Dexter Axle # K2HR758D, which are a hub with an integrated rotor. Since this kit does not come with bearings or grease seal you will need to order two of Grease Seals 10-36 # RG06-070 (they come in a package of two), and four each of inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 02475.

With the hubs and brakes taken care of you will then need to add brake lines with the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle - 25' Long # HS496-252. Next, you will need the HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator with Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness # HS381-9067, which comes with the electric over hydraulic actuator, breakaway box, 7-way, and wiring required so you can have the best braking possible - the power of disc brakes with the responsiveness of electric brakes.

Finally, you will need a brake controller that is compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes if your 2017 Ford F-350 does not already have one, and for that I highly recommend the the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR with Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # 331-TPH-007 because it is controlled by just a knob that is both extremely easy to use and also keeps a bulky unit out of the cab of your truck.

I have added links to a number of video reviews, video installs and instruction manuals for you to check out as well.
