• How do Hydrastar Disk Brake Actuator Kits Compare to Other Brands
  The Hydrastar electric over hydraulic actuators and disk brake components like the # HSE7K-T1 are the best in overall quality and performance. We've found that the Hydrastar systems are the fastest reacting and most reliable actuators so we recommend them very highly. The other brands tend to have more circuit board issues or won't like working with OEM brake controllers as much either. I attached a review video for this kit for more info on it as well.

• Will HydraStar Disc Brake Kit Clear Trailer Frame
  The HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1 should fit just fine with your 7K Dexter Axles. It does sit back slightly more than what a drum brake would but unless you have a really odd-shaped axle you won't have any problems. As you can see from the linked review video the calipers sit slightly back but there is still enough clearance for them. The flange that these mount on actually have a dip in them that helps to accommodate some of the thickness...

• Do Hydraulic Trailer Brakes Release Sitting at Traffic Light
  The actuator of the HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers # HSE7K-T1 will maintain brake pressure as long as the brake controller is telling the actuator to maintain it, but what most brake controllers have, like the Prodigy P2 part # 90885, have is a function that after a certain amount of time with the brakes applied the controller stops sending voltage as it assumes you are at a stoplight. So while the actuator doesn't provide the function you mentioned the...

• Full Suspension Upgrade For Lippert 7000 lb Axle On 2014 Grand Design 369RL
  It is good to hear that you are upgrading the suspension components that your 2014 Grand Design 369RL came with from the factory. Most of the time if not every time the stock components are very poor in quality resulting in giving a poor driving experience. For your leaf springs we have one that may work but you will need to make some measurements to make sure they will work with your MORrydem CRE3000 system.

• Caliper not Fitting Correctly on a HydraStar Disc Brake on a 2018 Jayco Pinnacle
  I called HydraStar on your behalf and they said the most likely problem with the caliper of the HydraStar Disc Brake, part # HSE7K-T1, not lining up correctly is because the piston needs to be reset into the caliper. I also spoke with one of our installation experts, and he believes this may be the problem as well. To reset the caliper, place a brake pad in the piston side and use a c-clamp like part # PTW5100 to seat it to push it in all of the way. If this doesn't solve your...

• Upgrading from an Electric Drum to a Disc EOH Braking System for a 2018 Jayco Eagle 321RSTS

I recommend going with either the Dacromet # K2HR526D or Dacromet and Stainless # K2HR526DS Kodiak Disc Brake Kit (1 set per axle), which both have a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt patter, and then the HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator...

• Can I Upgrade from 6,000 lbs Axles to 8,000 lbs Axles on 5th Wheel Toy Hauler?
  As someone who has knowingly overloaded a trailer out of necessity, I completely understand your thought process here, but I think I have a better option for you that will save you both time and money in upgrading to electric-over-hydraulic discs brakes on your existing 6K axles. I wouldn't install 8K axles for two reasons, suspension stiffness and drum size. The suspension on an 8K axle will be significantly stiffer than a 6K axle and this will create more jarring and a rougher ride...
