In order to use electric brakes you would also need to change the idler hubs you have to hub and drum assemblies. For that I would need to know the inner and outer bearing numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings. I would also need to know the wheel size or tire size, and the size of the studs on the hubs you have now (1/2 inch, 9/16, and so on).
You will need to have brake mounting flanges on the spindles as well.
I have also included a link to a help article that covers everything needed to added electric drum brakes to a trailer, or in this case a tow dolly.
For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes.
