Question:

Right now I have a triple axle toy hauler with 7k axles 1/2 studs. I would like to convert them to disc brakes. I already have a hydraulic brake actuator. I would like to use slip on rotors. Would I use these hubs AKIHUB-865-7-2-EZ-K to go with K2R712 ? Would the back spacing be correct? Anything different you would recommend?

You sure would!

For your Toy Hauler with triple 7000lb axles the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 7,000-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 8 on 6-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKIHUB-865-7-2-EZ-K you were looking at will work perfectly with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 13" Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - Raw Finish - 1/2" Bolts - 7,000 lbs # K2R712.

Since you have triple axles you will need six of the idler hubs and three of the disc brake kits.

Now you have the electric over hydraulic actuator needed, but did not mention brake lines. If you do not already have them as well you will need the Triple Axle Brake Line Kit # HS496-253 as well.

I included videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
