I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Assembly - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Right Hand - 3,500 lbs, # AKEBRK-35R-SA, and the # AKEBRK-35L-SA for the left hand side. These self-adjusting brakes don't require regular maintenance to adjust the brake shoes to work properly. There is also no break in period needed following the initial adjustment. There are adjuster plugs included that cover the access holes to keep out dirt and grime. These brakes use automotive-grade friction material for improved stopping performance and longevity.
