Question:
I have a 2005 Alpenlite Portofino 36ft 16K with 7K Nev R Lube axles. I am considering purchasing K2HR712E-XL Disk Brake Kits to convert my drum brakes to disk. I currently have hubs with 9/16 studs so I could have 17 1/2 inch wheels. Is the kit available with 9/16 studs? Thanks

We do have a disc brake kit with 9/16-inch studs you asked about.
I recommend the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit, part # K2HR79E. This kit has 13-inch hub/rotors and an 8 on 6-1/2 bolt pattern and is designed for 7,000 lb axles. The brake flange has a 5-bolt configuration.
The inner and outer races are included but the bearings and seal are not so you will need part # BK3-200 that does include the bearings and seal. If you need new lug nuts for the brakes part # 6-53 is what you need. for a grease cap you can use part # F001520.
