Adding Electric Brakes to a Utility Trailer with a 3,500 Lb Rockwell Axle
Question:
We do have everything you will need to add electric brakes to your utility trailer but in order to recommend the correct parts I would need a bit of information from you. 1) Do you have a brake mounting flange on your trailer axle and if so how many bolts hole are attached? 2) What size are your trailer wheels? 3) What is the bolt pattern on your trailer wheels/hubs? 4) What are the inner and outer bearing seat diameters on your spindle or what are the numbers on your bearing? Once provided with the above information I would be glad to recommend the correct parts for you. To get a better idea of what is required, take a look at the articles I have attached for you.
