In order to find the correct disc brake kit for a Forest River Vengeance 27BH14 you'll need to know your axle capacity which is usually printed on the axle tag in the center of the beam. The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR526DKG for example is designed for 5,200-6,000 lb axles which should be around what what this trailer uses. In order to complete your setup you can use a kit like the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit for Disc Brakes part # HBA16-252-82.

I have attached a full list of disc brakes which you can filter down by axle capacity if the above does not work.
