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, stainless steel 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 stainless steel to prevent flexing and rust. 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, corrosion-resistant stainless steel 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.

The service has been fantastic and I’m very pleased with the quality of these Kodiak Stainless Steel Brakes, Rotors and Hubs for my boat trailer after removing old leaf springs and upgrading to torsion axels. I’m also eliminating the surge brake actuator and going to electric over hydraulic for better performance and braking power and replacing all brake lines with Kodiak brake lines. I’ve included some before and after pics of the install for reference.
Kodiak brakes are great. I paid for the high quality stainless steel brakes and wheel assemblies that were well worth it. It’s been a year of use and several road trips with salt water boat launches on the ramps. So far all is well with a end of year service to ensure a good next season. I use Timkin bearings as well.
Cheers to Kodiak for the build for the product and etrailer for the discounted price supply.
etrailer is a wealth of talent with good knowledge on the products I have purchased so far for my trailer renovations.
Thanks to them
Jbuilt - 01/25/2021Retrofit on my ez loader trailer using these and ez loader oil hubs. Everything fit great and looks awesome. Went from intergel rotors to these. The customer support was great, ordered in between tornado warnings, they call right back.
You folks are great at Etrailer. Keep up the great work. Good products at fair products, with great service.
I upgraded my trailer's totally rusted out (after only two years) brakes with this kit. It's now 8 years later and they still look and work like new.
If you use your trailer in salt water then these should be put on when new!
Very Happy and they were delivered fast!
Greg S and ALL the etrailer staff is top-notch.
The product is awesome, fitment is perfect...I really wish the kit would have come with twelve new stainless bolts and lock washers for the brackets but it didn’t.
Very well made products.;4
Cathy helped me find the right brake parts for my trailer. She got it shipped to me on time and delivered when I needed it most, right before an out of town trip. She is extremely personable and is an awesome example of what customer service should be. I hope her boss reads this and gives her a nice big bonus !!!! She deserves it.
A little more money than aftermarket but well worth the money
