If your old drum brakes are losing bite or you’re ready for smoother stopping, this Kodiak Disc Brake Kit makes the upgrade simple. The 10" Dacromet-plated rotors slip right over standard idler hubs and are held in place by the wheel and wheel bolts—no need to replace the entire hub assembly. With a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern and fitment for 14" and larger wheels, this kit gives consistent braking power even at highway speeds.
Rust and corrosion can ruin brakes fast, especially in humid or marine environments. Each rotor and bracket in this kit is Dacromet-plated with a 300- to 400-hour salt-spray rating, while the calipers, bolts, and hardware are all stainless steel for absolute corrosion protection. It’s a perfect setup for freshwater or saltwater use where long-term durability matters most.
Uneven braking or flexing calipers can make towing nerve-wracking. Kodiak’s stainless steel calipers don’t flex like aluminum and feature self-adjusting pistons that keep pressure even across the pads. The low-drag design retracts farther after each stop to reduce heat buildup, and the 2-1/4" stainless piston—30 percent larger than other brands—delivers more braking torque for shorter stopping distances.
Long grades and heavy loads can push brakes past their limit, but the vented rotor design on this kit effectively dissipates heat to prevent fade or rotor warping. The cast iron rotors fit over standard hubs and remove easily for maintenance, so you can service just what you need without replacing the whole assembly.
Designed for axles with a 4-bolt flange configuration, each Dacromet mounting bracket uses a side-support angle that carries load through the bracket instead of the bolts for a secure fit. The extra embossing adds thread contact for tight guide bolt connections. Each kit includes two full brake assemblies—rotors, calipers, brackets, and mounting hardware—and works with a hydraulic actuator rated at least 1,500 psi (sold separately). It’s a straightforward bolt-on upgrade built for long-term performance.

After one year the brakes work just like they are brand new The only thing I should have done was buy SS rotors.

Patrick The brakes worked out very good. I am real careful to flush them with fresh water after each use. Excellent product.

The Stainless calipers and disc brake set are still functioning great after 2 years. I also installed an Electric over Hydraulic brake actuator to replace the surge brake actuator
