If your drum brakes are wearing out or fading on long grades, this Kodiak 13" disc kit makes a big difference. The one-piece hub-and-rotor assembly keeps water and debris out, reducing runout and uneven wear. Ceramic brake pads and a large 2-1/2" stainless steel piston deliver fast, controlled braking you can feel every time you tow. Rated for 8,000-lb Dexter axles with a #42 spindle, this setup gives you short stopping distances and smoother control at highway speeds.
Saltwater and road chemicals can eat through standard brakes fast. These Dacromet-coated hub-and-rotor assemblies, calipers, and brackets are designed to last in those conditions, holding up to 300–400 hours of continuous salt spray before rust begins. They’re perfect for use in coastal areas, freshwater launches, or snowy climates where corrosion protection matters most.
Heavy towing and mountain driving can generate serious heat, but these vented rotors are built to take it. The vented design moves air through the rotors to shed heat quickly, helping prevent brake fade and premature pad wear. Even with frequent trips or heavy loads, braking stays consistent and strong for the long haul.
These brakes are made with fewer moving parts than drum systems—no springs, magnets, or cables to maintain. The calipers sit on the outside of the assembly, so when the pads eventually wear down, you just remove one part to swap them out. That means less crawling under the trailer and more time towing with confidence.
Everything you need for one axle comes in the box—two Dacromet-plated hub-and-rotor assemblies with inner (25580) and outer (02475) bearings, races, grease seals (10-36), E-Z Lube caps, stainless caliper bolts, wheel bolts, and zinc-plated lug nuts. All you’ll add are brake lines and a hydraulic actuator rated at 1,500 psi or higher to activate the system. It’s a straightforward bolt-on upgrade built for durability and performance.

I decided to go with the Kodiak set up and we couldn’t be happier with the service with them. I feel that the trailer stops around 40 better.

Nothing new which is good news, although I will replace the bearings sometime this winter with Timken. This is the stock brake for Morryde IIS and it work well enough. The China bearing are what it comes with, but in an effort to not have to worrywonder, Timken is my choice. Not sure about some of the complaints but other than cardboard not holding up to heavy metal mine were new and good. I believe sometimes returns and part get put in a box a second time and that screws everyone up. Not being an upgrade, I am not sure there is another choice even if I wanted it.
