Expert Reply:
For your triple axle 5th wheel trailer with 7000lb axles I recommend HydraStar Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Triple Axle Trailers - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - 7K # HSE7K-TR1 as it comes with brakes/hubs, calipers, brake lines, and electric over hydraulic disc brake actuator needed to complete the install. Electric over hydraulic disc brakes are hands down the best option for a heavy trailer like yours and will give you the best braking performance.
The only thing you will need is a trailer brake controller that is compatible with EOH brakes. If you do not have one I highly recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 which is an extremely reliable controller that works perfectly with EOH brakes.
I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
