I have the solution you are looking for, however the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 11" Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - E-Coat Finish - Leaf Spring - 10,000-lb Dexter part # K2R1058D11E wil not work on torsion axles. There just isn't enough room for the hardware to fit between the brake flange and frame. Instead you want to use Kodiak Disc Brakes - 13" Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - Raw Finish - Torsion - 10K Dexter and Lippert part # K2R1058D13. This kit is designed specifically for use on your axle. Upgrading to disc brakes has huge advantages in braking performance and will add a lot of safety to those sudden stops as well as saving wear and tear on the hauling vehicle's braking system. You want one of these kits per axle.
If you need a brake line kit assuming you have a tandem axle trailer use the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle - 25' Long, 3/16" Main Line part # HS496-252. If you have a triple axle rig the HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Triple Axle - 25' Long, 3/16" Main Line part # HS496-253.
I've linked the parts you want and the videos we have done on them here so you can get a good feel for what to expect.
