Hey Mark, unfortunately we don't have a complete kit for the conversion but we do have the parts for you to piece it together. If your axles were made after May of 2013 then you can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11E. If your axles were made before July of 2009 then you can use the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2R1058D11HD.
These are a slip on over the hub rotors which includes 2 cast iron rotors, 2 rotor spacers, 2 cast iron calipers, 2 ductile iron caliper-mounting brackets, and 4 stainless steel caliper-mounting bolts.
The last few things you're going to need is an actuator, like the Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes # HBA16, a breakaway kit # 3802308, and a brake controller like # 90195.
