Options for Adding Electric Drum Brakes to Existing Trailer  

Question:

Do you have a brake kit to add brakes to a 3500 lb axle 15. Why should I have to order everything individually?

Expert Reply:

If you prefer not to have to order and install multiple trailer brake parts to convert your existing 3500-lb axle to braked operation you have the option of swapping the entire axle for a new one with all the brake flanges, brakes assemblies, and hubs/drums in one kit.

I linked our page for all 3500-lb axles that include electric drum brakes, such as the kit # 3e43SR which has EZ-Lube spindles and hubs with the popular 5-on-4-1/2 wheel bolt pattern. We also have the unique Timbren axle-less suspension kits with brakes like # A35RS545E. These allow you to completely eliminate the traditional leaf spring suspension which reduces trailer maintenance requirements and often improves ground clearance.

If you would rather not replace the whole axle you can refer to the linked article that covers the process of adding electric drum brakes to an existing trailer that does not have them. The article includes links to each of the components needed, among which are a trailer brake controller like the Prodigy P3 # 90195.
