Hydrastar Trailer Brakes - HYD34VR

Highlights

  • Stops Shorter and Smoother: Disc brakes give consistent, even braking and shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.
  • Bolts Right Over Existing Hubs: Slip-on 10" rotors mount using your current 5 on 4-1/2 wheel bolts—no need to replace hubs.
  • Resists Rust and Corrosion: Stainless steel calipers and dacromet-coated rotors stay protected in wet or salty conditions.
  • Fast, Controlled Braking: Electric-over-hydraulic actuator links to your in-cab controller for quick, smooth brake response.
  • Ready to Install Kit: Includes actuator, tandem-axle brake line kit, fittings, clamps, screws, and stainless calipers.
  • Built for 3,500-lb Axles: Works with 14"–15" wheels and standard 1/2" studs for reliable everyday towing.

Features to know about

Upgrade to Confident, Consistent Braking: Electric-Over-Hydraulic Disc Kit with 3,500-lb Axle Rating

If your old brakes are fading or dragging, this Hydrastar kit gives you modern stopping power and smooth control. The electric-over-hydraulic actuator ties into your existing in-cab brake controller and activates the trailer brakes instantly for even, confident stops. With a 3,500-lb axle capacity and a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern, it’s built for real highway performance and consistent braking when you need it most.

Quick, Clean Conversion: Slip-On Rotors Mount Over Existing Hubs

Swapping to disc brakes doesn’t have to mean replacing everything. These over-the-hub rotors slip right over your idler hubs and are held by your existing wheel bolts—no need to change the whole hub-and-rotor assembly. The 10" cast-iron rotors meet SAE specifications and are vented to shed heat fast, cutting down on fade and keeping braking smooth on long grades.

Built to Last in Real Conditions: Stainless Steel Calipers and Dacromet Rotors

Rust can kill braking performance fast, especially if your trailer sees rain or damp storage. The dacromet-coated rotors and stainless steel calipers in this kit resist corrosion for lasting reliability. That means less maintenance and dependable braking even after seasons of use.

All-In-One Setup for DIY Upgrades: Complete Tandem-Axle Line Kit Included

Everything needed for the upgrade is in the box—electric-over-hydraulic actuator, over-the-hub disc brakes, stainless calipers, tandem-axle brake line kit with fittings, clamps, and hardware. With simple connections and clear part layout, it’s designed for straightforward installation by anyone confident with basic tools. Once bled and wired in, you’ve got a strong, responsive braking system ready to roll.

  • Parts Needed to Convert Outdoors RV 19MKS to Disc Brake
    Hey Bruce, since the Dexter 4,000 lb axles use the same components as 3,500 lb axles what you'd need to convert the axle to disc would be the disc brake kit part # HYD22FR which comes with the needed disc brake components, brake lines, and the best actuator that is the most reliable and quickest reacting.

  • Will Hydrastar Disc Brakes Fit 2017 Forest River With 3,500 lb Lippert Axles
    Hi Kirk; the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit # HYD34VR will fit idler hubs with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. I'm guessing you already have electric brakes on your trailer so you have hub and drum assemblies on their now. Instead of picking up separate idler hubs to make this kit work I recommend getting the Hydrastar Disc Brake Kit # HYD22FR. This includes hub-and-rotor assemblies that are one piece so separate hubs are not required. For a brake controller I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty...
