Question:
I have a 2012 Big Tex trailer model 22gn-32bk+5 with 10,000lb axels. Oil bath hubs, dual tandem. Was wanting to see what all I needed to convert to disc brake hubs? Thank you.

If you have 8 on 6.5 wheels, you will need the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 11" Rotor - 8 on 6.5 - E-Coat - Leaf Spring - 12K - Dexter/Lippert, part # K2R1258L12. This conversion kit was designed specifically for converting a trailer's brakes from Dexter/Lippert drum brakes to disc brakes. You will also need the HydraStar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator w/ Line Kit for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi, part # CAR-HBA16-2. This disc brake actuator has a maximum output pressure 1,600 psi. You will need an electric brake controller as well.
