For your 10000lb Dexter oil bath axle made in 2020 you will need to go with the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E since your axle uses leaf springs, and is not a torsion axle. This will work with dual 16" wheels so you will need to make sure that is what your trailer currently uses.

You will need to use Dexter Axle Oil Hub # 008-430-03 for each spindle to allow you to install the above kit unless you already have idler hubs.

For an actuator to control these new disc brakes I recommend going with the HydraStar Marine Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator w/ Breakaway and 7-Way RV Harness # HS381-9067 as it gives you the best of both worlds in regards to hydraulic and electric brakes. You will get the stopping power and consistency hydraulic brakes are known for but will be able to control them with a trailer brake controller allowing you to fine tune exactly how they get applied.

You will need to have a trailer brake controller in your tow vehicle that is compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes. If you do not have one I strongly recommend taking a look at the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 # 90195 as it is the best on the market for EOH brakes.

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