Talk to Joe down at trailer outlet. I had looked into this and it was not a good option. I can not remember why but I do know that the cost was very high.
If I remember correctly you have to replace not just the brakes but the whole front of the trailer and I believe the hubs as well. But it has been a while so I really do not remember if it was that complicated.
I do know that the last thing I'd want is to buy an adapter kit. IMHO the only safe way to do it would be to switch everything over, 4000 pounds is a lot of mass to try and stop without properly working trailer brakes.
