Kodiak Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Kit K71-DBC-250-PAD, Fits 7000-8000 lb Trailer Axles (OEM DBC-250)

This Kodiak ceramic disc brake pad kit, part number K71-DBC-250-PAD, is a replacement friction pad set for trailer axles rated 7000-8000 lb equipped with 13 inch Kodiak disc brake assemblies. The kit uses a ceramic friction lining bonded to a Dacromet-coated backing plate, which resists corrosion in the wet, road-salt, and boat-launch conditions trailer brakes are routinely exposed to. Each kit contains two inner pads and two outer pads, providing a complete pad set to service one axle. The pads are designed to work with Kodiak DBC-250-E and DBC-250-DAC caliper assemblies, making this kit the correct replacement choice when relining calipers on a heavy-duty boat or utility trailer axle. Ceramic friction material is chosen for disc brake pad kits like this one because it produces less brake dust and wears more gradually than standard semi-metallic compounds, while still delivering consistent stopping power under repeated trailer braking cycles (launching and retrieving a boat, stop-and-go towing, or emergency stops on the road). Because trailer axles typically use one pad kit per axle, most tandem-axle trailers require two kits, one for each axle, to complete a full brake job. This kit is sold as a direct fit for the 7000-8000 lb Kodiak disc brake platform and is not interchangeable with pad kits built for lighter-duty 3500-6000 lb axle assemblies, which use a different part number.

Frequently Asked Questions

What axles does the K71-DBC-250-PAD pad kit fit? The K71-DBC-250-PAD kit fits trailer axles rated 7000-8000 lb that are equipped with Kodiak 13 inch disc brake assemblies.

Is DBC-250 the same as K71-DBC-250-PAD? DBC-250 is the OEM equivalent part number for this kit, so K71-DBC-250-PAD is the correct replacement kit when a Kodiak DBC-250 caliper assembly needs new pads.

How many pads come in this kit? Each K71-DBC-250-PAD kit includes 2 inner pads and 2 outer pads, enough to service one axle.

Do I need one kit or two for a tandem-axle trailer? Since one K71-DBC-250-PAD kit services a single axle, a tandem-axle trailer with two axles requires two kits to complete the brake job.

What caliper assemblies is this pad kit designed for? This kit is designed for use with Kodiak DBC-250-E or DBC-250-DAC caliper assemblies.

What is the friction material made of? The K71-DBC-250-PAD kit uses a ceramic friction lining, chosen for lower dust and longer wear life compared to standard friction compounds.

What is the backing plate coating on these pads? The backing plate on the K71-DBC-250-PAD pads is Dacromet coated for corrosion resistance in wet trailering environments.

How much does this pad kit weigh? The K71-DBC-250-PAD kit weighs 3.2 pounds.

Will this kit work on a lighter-duty 3500-6000 lb axle? No, the K71-DBC-250-PAD kit is built for the 7000-8000 lb axle platform; lighter-duty 3500-6000 lb axles use a different pad kit.

What type of trailer is this pad kit intended for? This kit is intended for boat trailers and utility trailers using Kodiak disc brake assemblies rated for 7000-8000 lb axles.
