Recommend Disc Brake Kit For A 1996 Float on Brand Boat Trailer

Question

Question:

I have a 1996 float on brand boat trailer. The registration plate says it has twin 5000 lb torsion axles. The brake mount plateinch is square with four holes. I am trying to determine if the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12inch Hub/Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet/KodaGuard - 5,200 to 6,000 lbs kit will work on this trailer. Thanks in advance for your help.

When installing a disc brake system on your 1996 trailer The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 12 inch Hub/Rotor - 6 on 5-1/2 - Dacromet/KodaGuard - 5,200 to 6,000 pounds # K2HR526DKG will not work because you have the 4 bolt pattern and this will only work with 5 bolt systems. You could use The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 10 inch Hub/Rotor - 5 on 4-1/2 - Dacromet - 3,500 pounds # K2HR35D which will work on your 4 bolt system.

You would also need to figure out your bearing numbers. For # K2HR526DKG The inner bearing is # 25580 and the outer bearing is # 15123.

If you get different bearing numbers please contact me and I will get you the correct information.

The B&W Continuum #BW78FR and the Reese Strait-Line #RP66083 are both great systems. The B&W Continuum is going to be easier to set up, but as far as sway control goes, I definitely have to give the edge to the Reese Strait-Line. The…
