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.

Last year, I had to rebuild my Myco triple axel trailer that sits under my 47' Fountain. Needed all new hubs, bearings, brakes, etc. Bought everything from etrailer.com for a 1/3rd of the price that Myco wanted to charge me. Everything was perfect and their customer service was excellent when I had questions. Had some parts that got damaged in transit, but they shipped replacements immediately with no questions asked. The Dacromet brake kits have held up well a year later despite being used in salt water about a dozen times. Very happy with this product.
Arrived as expected. Appear to be superior to the tie down calipers I'm replacing
Outstanding customer service.Judy M.and Cathy T. called number of times to make sure that I was happy with my order!!! I buy a lot of things on the internet and no one even compare to the service etrailer provides. Thank you !!!
GREAT SRRVICE!!
