Expert Reply:
Yes you will need a new electric over hydraulic actuator to go from drum to disc as the disc brake setups require a higher psi rating. The best option is the HydraStar part # HBA16 as it has the best reputation for reliability and is the fastest reacting as well so it's what we recommend the highest. Since you are going to disc brakes you'll need a flexible line to go from the caliper to the axle since the caliper moves. For that you'd want the part # # T0776500 .
