Hello Baltazar. I am happy to look into it and recommend parts for you, but I will need more information from you first. Mainly I need to know what kind of brakes are currently on your trailer. If you have electric brakes you are going to need a full conversion kit. If you have hydraulic drum brakes you basically just need an actuator and a disc brake kit. The article I linked below is a great starting point for your project. I also linked our main page for 10K-rated disc brake kits from Kodiak such as # K2R1058D11. Available kits include both hub-and-rotor and rotor-only types. You will also need an actuator like the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes - 1,600 psi # HBA16. Let me know more info on your trailer and I can recommend parts.

@Baltazar For that use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11HD along with the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly # 8-288-3UC1. Please verify that your axle does use the 387A (2.250" inner diameter) inner bearing and 25580 (1.750" inner diameter) outer bearing. Use all that along with the Hydrastar Electric-Hydraulic Actuator w/ Line Kit for Disc Brakes # CAR-HBA16-2.
