You may be getting the wrong kit. I looked quickly at the specs and the wheel studs are 1/2". The wheel studs on a Bighorn are 9/16". Also, you may need to double flare the brake lines if the kit is not suited to your specific trailer. Make sure you get a decent flare tool. I tried to use a cheap one from Harbor Freight and it did not work well for me.
As far a fitting in the Propane area, I hope it works for you. Most of us have the Titan actuator which is easier to mount.
I've been following this thread out of interest. On my last RV (2013 Road Warrior), I had always wanted to do the conversion to disc brakes - but doubted my skills. My brothers and I were garage monkeys when we were teenagers, always rebuilding engines, etc. I've gotten old and soft - hiring people to do a quality job instead.
Anyway, the point of this message is that I'm particularly pleased that I purchased my new rig (2020 Landmark) and had disc brakes added as an option from the factory. I am SOOOOO looking forward to trying it out.
The parts came today from Etrailer. Sure enough the wheel studs in the hub/rotors were 1/2" and the lug nuts are 9/16 as mlpeloquin stated. Contacted etrailer and explained that their customer service representative that took the order messed up. They were excellent to work with and are shipping me 4 correct rotors and 4 outer wheel bearings for free and no additional charge even though the original order was a bundled deal at a good price: https://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Brakes/Hydrastar/HSE7K-T1.html
The outer wheel bearings are the only thing different along with the larger wheel studs.
I can install the actuator, brake lines, wiring, caliper mounts while waiting for the rotors. Another 3 days of waiting to finish. It will be ready when this virus thing tapers off and everything opens up again.
There are a few youtube videos that walk you thru the process, if you have some questions. These videos show the wiring connection at the junction box by the king pin. If you understand wiring you can wire the system without running a wire to this box but it takes some wire searching. If the kit has brake lines that are too long and you don't want to cut and flare, make sure you don't have any vertical looping as that will trap air.The parts came today from Etrailer.

We were told it will ride about an 1" lower.What will be the total height difference for the rig with this system in place vs the oem?

We didn't notice it being any lower.

We still have the original Sailuns.That looks to be a very nice setup. I reckon they have to engineer into it that it would be close to original. My building, for example, has 14’ tall doors that opens to 13’8” max. Not much room for error. What tires are you using on this setup?
