How to Pick Out Brake Assemblies for a 2008 Starcraft 21SB

Question

Question:

I have a 2008 starcraft travelstar 21sb. The manual says it has lippert axles. I cant find anywhere that says the axle weight. I think they are 3500#. I dont know the drum size. If the axles are indeed 3500#, do they all have 10inch drums? Would these brake assemblies work on it?

Expert Reply:

If you measure the diameter of the axles and they are 2-3/8 inches then yes, they are 3,500 lb axles.

Or you can measure the diameter of the current assemblies and count the amount of bolts that hold them to the axle spindle. If the assembly is 10 inches (see picture for where to measure) in diameter and has a 4 bolt pattern the part # AKEBRK-35R would work great for the right hand side and then for the left hand side you would need the part # AKEBRK-35L.

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…
