We can help get you setup, but I'll need to know the axle capacity you'd need for your trailer. Do you know what the axle capacities are of the trailer? Are you going from electric drum to disc? Are you wanting to go to electric over hydraulic?

I believe they are 5000 pound tandom axels, bolt size is 6 on 5 1/2. I also want to go from electric drum to disc. The fifth wheel is 30ft long if that helps. Thanks again

For the disc brake kit you'd want the part # K2HR526D which is a 5,200 lb disc kit that has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern. Then for the kit with the correct actuator you would want the part # HBA16-252-82 which comes with the brake lines, breakaway kit, and actuator. You'll also need a brake controller compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes like the P3 part # 90195. How long are you current leaf springs?

Best option we have would be the part # SP-053275 which is a 26 inch long 6k rated leaf spring. This is 1/4 inch shorter than what you currently have which the correct way to pick out a spring since they stretch out over time as they "flatten".
