Hello Don,

Upgrading your 2024 Brinkley Z3100 to disc brakes is a fantastic decision, especially if you're looking for smoother, more reliable stopping power, whether you're towing in the mountains or navigating heavy traffic.

From what I’ve researched, most Z3100s are equipped with tandem 7,000 lb Dexter axles and 8-lug hubs. However, since I don’t have direct access to Brinkley’s axle specs, I recommend confirming this by checking the tag on your axle to ensure it's rated for 7K.

Assuming you do have 7K axles, I recommend the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - 7K # DE66AR. This all-in-one kit includes the disc brakes, actuator, brake lines, and all necessary fittings. I promise you will not be disappointed in this set-up! The only thing not included is a brake controller, you’ll need one that supports EOH (electric over hydraulic) braking.

I've attached an installation video for your reference.

Getting things geared up and ready for a big trip? If so, where are you headed?
