Question:
Do you convert drum brakes to disc brakes on 5th wheels? I have a big horn travel trailer that is a 3875 front bath with 8000 lb axles and 16 in tires.

For your 8k capacity oil-bath hubs the Kodiak kit part # K2HR89DD would be what you need. This will replace the hub/drums you have with rotor/hubs and the mounting brackets will attach to the mounting flanges you have.
Then for a kit that includes the best actuator, a breakaway kit, and wiring you'd want the Hydrastar part # HS381-9067.
