Parts Needed to Add Brakes to 3,500 lb Trailer Axle
Question:
I own a wells cargo enclosed trailer and I’m wondering if you carry what I need to make the 3500 lb axle have brakes? I would need backing plate, brakes, brake drum. I guess a controller in my truck? Thanks

First you'd want a hub to add brakes to your cargo trailer that has 3,500 lb axles. For that the most common solution is the hub part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. This fits 3,500 EZ lube spindles and has the very common 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern for wheel attachment. If instead you have a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern you'd want the part # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K.
Then for brake assemblies you'd want the self adjusting assembly kit part numbers # AKEBRK-35-SA.
Then for a brake mounting flange you'd want the part # 4-35.
Then for a brake controller the Brake EVN # TK63VR is a great option that is proportional, reliable, and priced great.
