Question:
Hello, I am considering upgrading my 2018 Keystone Cougar Half-Ton 283RETWE to disc brakes. It is currently equipped with two Lippert axles with the specifications shown in the attached picture. Note that Lippert has advised me that the axles are rated for 5,200 pounds not 4400 pound limited load specification as listed on the sticker. The OEM drum brake part I am currently evaluating is the Lippert Forward Self-Adjusting Brake Assembly for Left Side 12inch x 2, 3500-7,000 lbs. Capacity, for 14.5, 15, 16inch Wheels – 296651. The wheels have six 6 studs/lug nuts. Please recommend a disc brake upgrade kit for both axles and an appropriate brake actuator kit with hydraulic lines. Thank you for your help in this matter. Regards,

We have everything you will need to upgrade the brakes of your 2018 Keystone Cougar to electric over hydraulic disc but not as a single kit part number.
You will simply need two Kodiak Disc Brake Kits # K2HR526DKG, two Bearing Kits # DBRKHW6EZ, a HydraStar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator For Disc Brakes # HBA16, and a HydraStar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit # HS496-252.
