Thanks for sending us a picture of your current weight distribution setup. Because your arms and brackets are gold I can tell you have an older style of dual cam setup which means you would need to replace it with a new setup since there are no parts available for yours.

You would want the part # RP26002.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
