Hi fellas, could use some advice regarding my trailer rebuild. Going to swap out the surge drum brakes which were all completely messed on my 2007 Karavan tandem. I will also be repłacing the tires which flat spotted and blew from the brake seize up doh. I am going to switch to hydraulic disk. I was first thinking electric over hydraulic but for simplicity and to keep the budget down decided not to. I am doing all the work myself and wanted to keep it somewhat simple, plus I don't tow that often and when I do my trailer tounge often ends up in the water as I use vanier launch. I get a pretty good deal on parts from lordco so I did the best I could through them. I orderd Titan 12 inch 6 bolt 5-6k lbs premium disk kits which have rotors, calipers, pads caliper bracket and the berrings. Lordco could get the titan actuator or brake line kit. I orderd a 6600 lbs actuator and tandem brake line kit from tie down via western marine. Everything in with tax I am 1200 will this system work and do you guys think it's a good deal. I am new to trailer work, I have the whole thing torn apart and on blocks on my driveway, trying to get it back before it gets covered in snow. My concern is do the rotors fit the axel the same way as the drums ? My axel has grease nipple built into the end of it, and I assume the systems are all compatible. Also my boat is 5200 lbs dry weight so 6600lbs actuator is a little concerning but that us best I could find locally. Any feed back would be great
