Helpful Expert Reply:
To determine the brake assemblies that will fit your trailer, you would need to know your axle's weight capacity, the size of your wheels, your mounting flange bolt pattern and the inside diameter and depth of your hub. Depending on the type of brakes you want, different parts will be needed. For example, to add hydraulic drum brakes you would need a hydraulic drum brake actuator, a brake line kit and the brake assemblies.
I've left a link to our page with our selection of brakes for you to take a look at, as well as a link to our page of help articles on what is needed to add specific types of trailer brakes. If you let me know your axle's weight capacity, the size of your wheels, your mounting flange bolt pattern and the inside diameter and depth of your hub, as well as the type of brakes you are interested in I'd be happy to help you find the right parts to add brakes.
