Features to know about

Upgrade From Drum to Disc: 13" Hub-and-Rotor Assembly for Stronger, Smoother Braking

If your trailer still runs drum brakes, this Kodiak kit delivers a real improvement. The 13" 1-piece hub-and-rotor assembly provides smooth, consistent braking and shorter stopping distances. A large 2-1/2" stainless steel piston gives fast, responsive brake action, while ceramic pads increase stopping power. The result is better control and a safer, more comfortable ride whenever you’re towing.

Built for Saltwater Use: Dacromet and Stainless Steel Construction Resist Corrosion

Saltwater is tough on trailer brakes, but this setup is built to handle it. The Dacromet finish on the hub-rotors and brackets provides 300- to 400-hour salt spray protection, and the stainless steel calipers are completely rustproof. That means reliable braking performance and long service life even with frequent coastal or marine use.

Keeps Cool and Lasts Longer: Vented Rotor Design Prevents Fade and Pad Wear

Heat buildup leads to fading and shorter pad life. These vented rotors move air through the core to shed heat faster, keeping performance consistent when braking under load or on long grades. The 1-piece hub-and-rotor design also keeps out water and debris that can cause uneven wear or corrosion over time.

Simplifies Maintenance: Fewer Moving Parts and Easy Pad Replacement

Disc brakes have fewer parts than drums, so there’s less to maintain or replace. With the calipers mounted on the outside of the assembly, pad changes are straightforward—no need to pull the whole brake apart. The kit includes everything needed for one axle: two Dacromet-plated hub-and-rotor assemblies with bearings, races, oil seals, oil caps, synthetic bearing oil, wheel bolts, and stainless lug nuts.

Designed for dependable performance on heavy trailers, these brakes fit #42 spindles with an 8,000-lb axle capacity. They’re built from high-quality automotive-grade materials and come backed by a 3-year warranty for long-term reliability on every haul.
