Question:
I have a Tracker Trailstar TXXTAR19EPB2 the S/N 7J511VJ20MB001063. Do you sell a conversion kit to convert this trailer to disk brakes? If you need anymore information please let me know.

Expert Reply:
We definitely have options to convert hydraulic drum brakes to hydraulic disc brakes.
The Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR712D is designed to work with a 7,000 pound axle that has wheels that use an 8 on 6 1/2 bolt pattern and the inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 14125A. You would want to match these to your existing bearing to verify the fit. I have an article included that helps with converting hydraulic drum brakes over to disc brakes that should make this easier. You can also call the manufacturer of the trailer to have them run your VIN. They should have records of everything they installed on it, which makes verifying bearing numbers considerably easier. This does not come with the bearings or seals so you would also need the bearing kit # DBRKHW7.
