I'm assuming you are wanting to switch from electric drum brakes to the hydraulic drum brakes. Here is a list for each trailer.
1st Trailer
Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit # AKUBRK-7 Qty 2
Hydrapro Alpha G-1200 Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # DH34FR
Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Tandem Axle # HS496-252
2nd Trailer
Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit # AKUBRK-7 Qty 3
Hydrapro Alpha G-1200 Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator # DH34FR
Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit - Triple Axle # HS496-253
You will need to ensure your trailer brake controller is compatible with electric over hydraulic brakes. If you have a factory built in controller we do have the Adapter Module # HBA-CAM which you will need if the factory controller is not compatible with hydraulic brakes.
