Helpful Expert Reply:

How many axles does your trailer have? Dually or single wheel setup? What's the bolt pattern of the current wheels? With that info I'll be able to tell what you'd need.

For a Dacromet coated disc brake kit for an 8k axle with an 8 lug bolt pattern the part # K2HR89DD would be a great solution. It's an oil bath setup with 9/16 inch wheel studs. Then for the rest of what you'd need the best kit is the HydraStar electric over hydraulic kit for tandem axles part # HBA16-252-82 as this will give you the best performing and most reliable disc brake kit that includes everything needed from brake lines, to the actuator, to the breakaway kit.
