Parts Needed to Convert Hydraulic Disc Brakes of Trailer to Electric
Question:
I have a 1999 Triton trailer with 2 dexter 3500# easy lube axles. I want to remove the hydraulic disc surge breaks and replace with electric breaks. Is this possible as the hub assembly is different since it has a disc mounted on it. Also the dexter axles are torsion axels.

I have a great solution. What you'd want to do is convert your trailer to electric over hydraulic brakes. What that means is that you use an actuator like our Hydrastar kit part # HS381-9067 and with it you can use a brake controller installed in the cab of your vehicle to actuate the disc brakes of your trailer.
The # HS381-9067 comes with all the electronic pieces needed needed to install.
EOH style trailer brakes are the best all around solution. You get the power of hydraulic and the adjustability of electric.
