Hey Scott!
You can use the SwingKing Bolt-On Swing Tongue Kit - 3x5 - Black Powder Coat # TD43FR with hydraulic brakes, but you'll want to use a flexible brake line like Dexter Hydraulic Brake Line with Fittings - 25" Long # T0980100 with it to prevent a damaging your brake lines over time and continued use. The hose is 25" long, so it's longer than the hinge and the rubber allows the hose to flex without worrying about a hard break.
What kind of trailer are you installing this coupler on? How often are you planning to use it?
