Recommended Electric Drum Brakes for 8,000 Pound Trailer Axle
Question:
I have 8k 8 lug axles that are Eletric over hydraulic. I want to convert to Eletric drum. What brake kit do you recommend?

Helpful Expert Reply:
For 8,000 pound axles I recommend the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # K23-532-533-00, which includes two self-adjusting 12 inch x 3-3/8 inch assemblies. You will just want to make sure that their 4 bolt mounting pattern matches the existing brake flanges on your axles.
I have attached a short video review that you can check out as well.
I have also included a great article that walks through all the components needed to install electric brakes on a trailer that you might find helpful.
