Specs:
More and more people are switching their trailers over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking - even at highway speeds - unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a substantially shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.
Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, rather than the many found in drum brakes. This means that there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to have to repair or replace, thus reducing maintenance costs.
Kodiak's slip-on, cast iron rotor makes it easy to convert an idler axle to a disc brake axle. Simply place the rotor over your hub. It is most often wheel bolt piloted for a loose fit and then held in place by the wheel itself. With a separate rotor and hub, you can easily repair or replace one element of your brake system without having to junk the whole thing.
Kodiak calipers are constructed of cast iron to prevent flexing. Less flex means more braking torque, resulting in smooth, even braking every time. The corrosion-resistant stainless steel piston is 30 percent larger than standard pistons, ensuring shorter stopping distance and increased torque. In addition, the unique low-drag design of Kodiak's calipers allows the piston to retract farther than in most standard models, giving you a cooler-running brake.
Designed for axles with 5-bolt brake flange configurations, the included mounting brackets are made of heavy-duty ductile iron that is embossed to provide additional threading for guide bolts. The added thread strength ensures a tighter, more secure connection between the caliper and bracket. Another unique feature of Kodiak's brackets is the side-support angle, which guarantees that the load is carried by the bracket, rather than the bolts.

Great instructions and videos. Reasonable prices. The best part though is the customer service. I ended up speaking to William B a couple times and he guided me thought ordering exactly the right thing. He had me confirm various measurements on my trailer to ensure I had the correct parts. Actually he helped me discover that the parts I was removing were incorrect so if we had of replaced like for like I would have had problems. Getting this right up front made the installation and final quality what it should be. Thank you eTrailer and thank you William!
may cost a little more but I have not had any problems and Drive from Birmingham Al to Panama city beach Fl. at least 6 times a year to put my sea hunt off shore boat in to fish (Salt water) No corrosive at all yet only one flat tire
Thank you for the great service

I used this kit to add surge brakes to my 5200#-axle boat trailer. I bought it a couple months ago and it did not have brakes but really should have. The parts are well made and installed easily once I acquired the bolts I needed that weren't included. The description and pictures are not 100% clear that the mounting bolts to put the brackets on the trailer brake flange are not included. I'm not sure why they don't come with the kit but I ended up getting some 1.25" x 3/8" SS bolts to mount them. While the hat-style rotors are nice from a price and ease of replacement perspective, if your lug bolts don't have extra length, you would be better off getting the integral hub and rotor version. Finding longer lug studs for my 20 year old trailer and removing the old ones was a PITA. Had I known, I would have spent the extra $ for the integrated hub/rotor set. The calipers have bleeding screws on both top and bottom so they can be mounted on either side of the trailer. That's a nice feature as its one less thing to go wrong.
Once installed with new actuator coupler and brake lines, the brakes made a huge difference in towing the boat. The boat alone is 3000# and the trailer and gear probably add another 750 or so. It used to push my Yukon XL around when braking but now it tows smooth and easy.
etrailers was awesome to work with. Good communication via email and simple fast ordering and shipping. I will definitely use them for future trailers get needs.
Bought Kodiak full kit of rotors, calipers, and primary hydraulic actuator from eTrailer for my triple axle boat trailer and perfect result. Competitor was couple dollars cheaper, but couldn't answer simple product questions and squirrely about delivery details, and I don't have patience for that crap. Let's go eTrailer!
Great company! Everything was streamlined and processed very quickly with fast shipping. The website is among one of the best out there. Bought this Kodiak brake kit as a replacement for my boat trailer which had Tie Down parts and it fit perfect. Really helpful how to and review videos were available as well. I definitely recommend etrailer.com and am now a customer for life. Product delivered matched the description 100%.
I purchased this Kodiak Disc brake a little over a year now and had no problems so far. I check them each time I return home and they look fine. Good product.
After one year on the trailer and a 450 mile road trip, installed parts are holding up well and foresee no problems for a couple of years.
The staff at etrailer are great. We had a urgent need to get our trailer able survey boat to project site and realized the trailer was in need of repair when we trailered the boat. I called etrailer and they had all the parts needed and was able to ship quickly to us. The parts fit and work great. Thanks a lot!
Everything seems fine, my son installed last year as my trailer had been sitting outside not being used for a couple of years. Thank you!
