Expert Reply:
The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-180-181 will work for your 8K axles if indeed your current brakes are electric, have a 12" diameter, and measure 2" wide. Standard 8K brakes like part # 23-402-403 though are hydraulic, have a 12-1/4" diameter, and measure 3-3/8" wide.
As long as your specs match the 7K electric brakes you're good to go.
