Welcome back Randy! There's no 8,000 lbs kits but I have all the parts you'll need to convert your trailer's 8,000 lbs axles to disc brakes. I have listed them below:
DeeMaxx Disc Brakes - 13" Hub/Rotor - 8 on 6-1/2 item # DE93AR if you have 5/8" lug studs or item # DE63AR if you have 9/16" lug studs. These are sold as a pair of left and right assemblies so you'll need two sets for a tandem axle trailer. They work with 16" and larger wheels.
DeeMaxx Alpha G1600 Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes item # DE47SR
25' Long - Hydrastar Hydraulic Brake Line Kit item # HS496-252 or 20' Long - item # 20TA-BLKIT. You'll want to measure from the location you're mounting the actuator item # DE47SR to the center of your front axle to determine which kit you'll need. This is for the main brake line, which is the length in the brake line kits.
Is this for your 2025 Grand Design Solitude 310GK or did you upgrade trailer's this year? Feel free to answer this and throw in any other questions you have, where it says Add Comment.

Yes. For the 310GK. Had some brake issues on this last trip and ready to go with the discs. Thank you for the info. Will get the stud size and get them on order. No difference in part number for left pair and right pair?
