Arrives before Christmas 
Trailer disc brake kit includes 2 assemblies with Dacromet-plated rotors, hub spacers, calipers and mounting brackets. Assemblies fit 3,500-lb axles with 10" to 13" wheels. The 8" rotors feature a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern.

Bearing, Race and Seal Information
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.
Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts that will require repair or replacement, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Kodiak's slip-on, cast iron rotors work in conjunction with the included hub spacers to easily convert your idler axle to a disc brake axle. The hub spacers are designed to replace your standard idler hubs, and they come furnished with races and wheel bolts (bearings and seals are sold separately). Once the spacers are in place, the rotors can be slipped on. With a separate rotor and hub, you can easily repair or replace just one element of your brake system without having to junk the whole thing.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Designed for axles with 4-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty ductile iron that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.
Replaced drum brakes with these disc brakes. Very easy installation, however, had to get someone that knows what they are doing to bleed and pressurize the brake lines. Attaching the reverse lockout wire to the reverse lights very simple also. Disc brakes has much less movable parts that can "break".
My problem was quickly resolved and the result exceeded my expectations.
Fast shipping and very easy to install. This is my first time ever installing brakes on a trailer, and instructions were very easy to follow. The entire project was done in about 4 hours, including 2 trips to the store for supplies I should have had ahead of time (marine grease, brake fluid and bolts).
Machining on two of the rotor assemblies were poor with missing or improper countersink holes for rotor mount bolts. Had to countersink like the other two because rotor mount bolts interfered with bracket bolts. One of these rotors also rubbed on the bracket and needed to be machined to prevent the rubbing. Unacceptable quality control on these parts.
These were returned do to the brackets for the calipers didn't let them fit over the rotors. we tried them in two different positions and they didn't fit. Pads sat on top of rotors and would not fit over them. so I returned them.
one of the brackets was 1/16 too small to fit on the lip. I should have noticed it at installation but didn't. Other than that system works great
Great product, no issues, my truck no longer has to do all the work like it used to.
It was as described, haven't installed it yet
great crafted set up. easy install, shipp;ed fast, priced right. fit nice.
