Expert Reply:

The Hydrastar electric over hydraulic braking system # HBA16 is compatible with the factory brake controller in your 2013 Ford F-350 without needing an adapter. I have linked a video review of this actuator for you.

I have included a link to the disc brake kits we carry for 7,000 pound axles. Raw finish kits such as # K2HR712 will be the most cost effective while dacromet and stainless kit # K2HR758DDS will cost the most. Raw finish brakes will be susceptible to corrosion where as with darcomet/stainless it will not be much of an issue if it is at all.

For a triple axle brake line kit I recommend # HS496-253 which uses all flexible hose which is ideal for disc brakes since the calipers move in and out.
