Parts Needed to Install Trailer Brakes on a Load Rite Trailer Model UT6512
Question:
Thank you so much! I went ahead and purchased the items you suggested. I'll update you one install is complete. What do you suggest for wiring? I already have a brake control on my vehicle just need wiring for this to car. My trailer does come presided for lights with 5 point straight plug.

Looks like your Load Rite trailer UT6512 has a 3,500 lb axle. Most likely it's a standard 3,500 lb trailer axle but first you have to check to see if the axle has brake mounting flanges. If you can get back to me with whether or not you have brake flanges and the brand of your axle (most likely Lippert or Dexter) I can see which kit we have that may work.
