Brakes are vital to the safety of any vehicle and here at
trailerandtruckparts.com we only carry the best brake kits including the Kodiak
disc brake kit 12”, 6-Lug 5200-6000 lbs. Dacromet Coated Two Wheels cap style
12”, 6 lug on 5.5“ wheel bolt pattern. Kodiak disk brakes come with two
universal wheel assemblies per box.
Rotors:
Dacromet-Coated (DAC)
Calipers: Dacromet-Coated
(DAC)
Mounting Brackets: Dacromet-Coated
(DAC)
Two wheel assemblies per box, Universal (left or right) (1
Axle Kit)
The caliper bracket mounts to a 5 bolt brake flange on the axle
and will fit inside of wheels that 15” and larger. The Dacromet Coated Caliper
has a 2 ¼ stainless steel piston, ceramic brake pads and performance made
stainless steel clips. These come with 2 stainless steel guide bolts with
installed thread lock and 2 brass bleeder ports. The quality materials used
enable these brakes to last 50-100% longer than any others
Benefits of Disc Brakes
There is a good reason why so many people are making the switch
to disc brakes for their trailer. At trailerandtruckparts.com, we advocate for
total safety as well as vehicle control and the disc brakes are unlike typical
drum brakes for a number of reasons. With disc brakes there is a more consistent
braking pattern, even on the interstate there is a substantial decrease in the
braking torque. Whether driving in the city or on the interstate, there will be
the need for quick stopping and a disc brake provides a much shorter stopping
distance than what you can expect from drum brakes. Drum brakes have several
moving parts, as opposed to the single caliper in a disc brake. Fewer parts,
means less maintenance, less damage and a tremendous reduction in maintenance
cost.
Kodiak Calipers
The Kodiak calipers sold through trailerandtruckparts.com are
made from Dacromet coated cast steel, which prevents flexing. When you have less
flexing there is more braking torque, which helps you have a smooth and even
brake each time. A larger piston helps to increase torque and an easier short
stopping distance and these calipers are 30% larger than a standard piston that
are made from have stainless steel and corrosion resistant pistons. Kodiak
calipers retract further than standard models allowing for a cooler and smoother
brake.
Steel Mounting Brackets
The heavy duty and corrosion resistant steel mounting brackets
are also coated with Dacromet coating. They are embossed with an additional
threading guide for bolts and designed to fit axles with a five bolt brake
flange. The additional strength provided in the threads is assurance of a
tighter and more secure connection between the brackets and caliper. Kodiak
brackets also have a side support angle to guarantee that your load will be
carried by bracket as opposed to the bolts.
High Heat Resistant Rotors
The rotor is an over the hub style and made from solid cast
iron to match the SAE specifications. The cap style rotors also have Dacromet
Coating to eliminate corrosion and reduce friction under high temperatures. The
Kodiak rotors are made to dissipate high temperatures which dramatically reduce
the usual high-heat damage.
