You gave me almost all the information I would need to recommend you a replacement disc brake kit. You gave me the bolt pattern, 6 on 5-1/2 inches, and the diameter of the rotors, 12 inches. And that your brake mounting flange is a 4 bolt flange.

The last thing needed is the bearing number from your current hubs. We need to find the hubs that will fit your spindles and the easiest way to do that is to get your bearing numbers. The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR526D that you referenced would work for you if your bearings were 25580 inner and 15123 outer.

If you need replacement leaf springs for your trailer I will need to know the capacity of your axles, the length of your current springs without a load on them and whether or not they are slipper springs or double eye. Check out the FAQ articles I attached on both styles of springs.
