Self-Adjusting Electric Brake Assemblies For 2003 Coleman Trailer With 3500-Lb Axle

Question

Question:

I have a 2003 Coleman tent trailer that is rated at approx. 3400 gvwr, and has an axle with this stamped on it: Mod. D35 DLR 14.0, also stamped on it is this, 3500lbs capacity excluding wheels and tires. My question is this, will your model # AKEBRK-35R-SA work on my trailer? I cannot tell without taking off the tires and drums if the drums are 10X2.25, or 10X2.5. If you have a way of looking this axle number up and letting me know which of your brake kits will work I would appreciate it very much. Thanks for you time and consideration. Respectfully

If you are looking for self-adjusting electric brakes then the AxleTek Trailer Brakes, part # AKEBRK-35R-SA would work great for the passenger side of your trailer. For the driver side you would need part # AKEBRK-35L-SA.

These brake assemblies measure 10-inches X 2-1/4 inches and are designed to fit 13-inch to 15-inch wheels. These brakes have a 4-bolt brake mounting flange.
