Comparing the etrailer Electric Brake Kit and the Dexter Electric Brake Assemblies  

Question:

Currently I am running a trailer with 7000 lb. Dexter axles. I am going to replace the brake assemblies this spring and am wondering if I should use the Dexter 23-180 and 23-181 or if I can use the AKEBRK-7-SA which is cheaper and self-adjusting? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

In all honesty I would go with the etrailer Electric Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA for a few important reasons.

They are self-Adjusting, and the brake pads themselves are fully bonded so that they last longer and offer more braking torque, plus they have less chance of cracking and crumbling due to the tapered edge circular grinding.

Even though the Dexter Brake Assemblies, parts # 23-180 and # 23-181, are still durable, the etrailer kit definitely has more to offer in this situation.

If you need to change out your mounting bolts and hardware you can use part # BRKH12 to do so.
