• Recommended Kit to Convert Brinkley Z3100 from Drum to Disc Brakes
  Hey Dwyane yes that is necessary unfortunately. We do have disc brake kits like the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit # DE68YR which will work with 7,000 lb axles that uses specific bearings. The last couple of things you'd need is a brake line kit # 18TA-BLKIT as well as an actuator # DE47SR and a breakaway kit # 3802308. If you can let me know what size axles you have as well as what bearings it uses, I'd be happy to find the correct kit.

  Hey Mike. The Deutsche Hydrapro Alpha G-1600 item # DH94FR and the DeeMaxx Alpha G1600 item # DE47SR have different fittings on them.

• Parts Needed for Disc Brake Conversion on 2018 Grand Design Imagine 2970RL
  Hello Terry; your Imagine 2970RL uses a 4,400 lb axle according to the Grand Design parts site. 4,400 lb axles are now obsolete so you will likely have to swap axles if you want to add disc brakes.

We only have a hub and drum assembly left for 4.4k axles so unfortunately, I...
