For a 7,000 pound trailer axle I recommend a Timbren system, # TASR7KS01. This is actually an axle-less system with its own built in suspension. Since there is no axle beam connecting one side to the other it creates independent suspension at all the wheels. For 2 axles you would need 2 kits.
For compatible disc brakes I recommend Kodiak dacromet disc brake kit # K2HRCM1337-9DAC. This kit is for 1 axle so to put brakes on both axles you would need 2 kits. For as much weight as you are carrying I recommend brakes on both axles. But if you put them on one axle they should go on the front axle if they are torsion axles and the rear axle if they are leaf spring axles.
The brakes fit with 16 inch or larger wheels and have 9/16 inch wheel studs with an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern. They use inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 14125A. For seals use # RG06-070 for a 2-1/4 inch or # RG06-090 for a 2-1/8 inch.
You will also need an electric over hydraulic actuator and a brake line kit. We have an option that has both together and also includes a breakaway kit, # CAR-HBA16-2.
The trailer and the vehicle will both need to have a 7-Way connector and the vehicle will need to have a brake controller that is compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes. I recommend the P2 # 90885 or the P3 # 90195 as both have an electric over hydraulic mode.
I have also included a link to our help article on adding electric over hydraulic disc brakes to a trailer.
