If you’re done with the weak, inconsistent feel of drum brakes, this Kodiak kit is a solid upgrade. The 12" slip-on rotors mount over your existing idler hubs and use your wheel bolts to hold everything in place. Designed for 5,200-lb to 6,000-lb axles with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern, these cast iron disc brakes deliver more braking torque and shorter stopping distances. Each caliper is self-adjusting for smooth, balanced stops at any speed.
Launching in saltwater or towing through rain can tear up unprotected brakes fast. The Dacromet plating on the rotors, calipers, and brackets gives this kit a 300- to 400-hour salt-spray rating for long-lasting rust resistance. It’s ideal for freshwater or saltwater use and still easy to service—just remove the rotor without replacing the hub.
When you’re hauling heavy loads or driving long grades, heat buildup can cause brake fade. Kodiak’s vented cast iron rotors dissipate heat efficiently to prevent damage. The low-drag caliper design retracts the stainless steel piston farther than standard types for a cooler-running brake that stays consistent on repeated stops.
This kit makes converting an idler axle to disc brakes straightforward. Each ductile iron mounting bracket is built for 5-bolt brake flanges and features side support that transfers load to the bracket instead of the bolts. Extra embossing around the threads provides a tight, secure fit for guide bolts under heavy braking.
Everything you need for one axle is included—two Dacromet-plated rotors, two cast iron calipers, two ductile iron mounting brackets, and four stainless steel caliper bolts. Hydraulic actuator and lines are sold separately but only require a system rated for at least 1,500 psi. With 15" or larger wheels, this setup gives you a cleaner install and stronger braking from the first pull of the lever.
