Kit to Convert 7k Axles of 2024 Brinkley Z3100 to Electric Over Hydraulic Disc

Question

Question:

Good afternoon. I would like to upgrade the brakes on my fifth wheel rig. I have a 2024 Brinkley Z3100. The axles are 7000 lb Curt Axles. Serial S010531153 is the rear axle. Will the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit w/ Actuator for Tandem Axle Trailers - 13 Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 - 7K Part Number: DE66AR fit my rig?

Hey Gary, thanks for all of the info you listed on your 2024 Brinkley Z3100. Based on seeing all of that yes the DeeMaxx Disc Brake Kit part # DE66AR would be what you'd need to upgrade the trailer to disc brakes and it comes with all of the components you'd need.

Do you have a brake controller that has a hydraulic setting?

Not sure. I have a 2021 F350 w/ 6.7L diesel and tow package

@Gary Is it the integrated brake controller of the Ford truck? If so, yes the controller does have a hydraulic mode so you're good in that regard.

Hi Jameson, I like the DeeMax disc brakes - I need a disc brake that I can connect a handbrake cable to each of the front brake discs. Does the DeeMax or any other have that ability. Thanks Neville

@Neville Are you wanting the hand brake as like an E-brake? I wish we had an option for your axle but we only have them right now for 3.5k and 6k rated axles.
