Guide for Adding Electric Brakes to a Trailer
Question:
Hi, I am trying to figure out what parts I need to add electric brakes to my car hauler. It has two 3500# axles. Would the parts below work, or do I need more information to be certain? I can modify the mounting flange if needed Im mostly concerned about the fit of the drum. Thanks. Code: AKEBRK-35L-SA Code: AKEBRK-35R-SA AKHD-550-35-K

I attached a help article that would walk you through the process of adding electric brakes to your trailer. Basically you are going to need to find out what hubs you currently have on your trailer so that you can get the correct hub/drum that will fit your spindles and wheels. From there you will be able to pick out the correct assemblies to fit those hubs.
The part numbers you referenced would work great for your trailer as long as you can determine that they will fit your spindle.
