I reached out to my contact at Dexter Axle who gave me the spindle information for your specific axle. The compatible disc brake kit that I recommend going with is part # K2HR712D from Kodiak.

My contact did mention that this axle originally came with electric brakes so you will need a brake line kit as well since it sounds like you already have an actuator. I have linked our available brake line kits. All you have to do is filter through the selection for the best fit for your trailer length. For example, part # HS496-153 is 15' long for a triple axle trailer while part # HS496-253 is 25' long for a triple axle trailer.

The prices can be found on the product pages.

The electric-over-hydraulic (EOH) actuator I recommend going with is the HydraStar # HS381-8067 for a boat trailer or # HBA16 if you don't have a boat trailer. These are compatible with the disc brake kit I recommended and should be compatible with the OEM controller on your F-350. If you install the HydraStar and find that it has trouble communicating with your OEM controller you will also need the Adapter # HBA-CAM.

The adjustment wheel that you are using to tighten the brakes just needs to be turned the other way. The adjustment wheel just pushes out the spread of the shoes or takes them back in if turned the other way. Nev-R-Adjust brakes like #23-459 work…

The front equalizer of the part #K71-656-00 is different because it does not attach to shackles on the one side. The higher side attaches directly to the leaf spring without a shackle. Dexter determined that this provided the smoothest ride quality…

Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…

For a single axle trailer, you want the shackle strap to be able to move so that you have the spring deflection needed for your suspension. Angled like the photo or even almost vertical is fine you just don't want the shackle strap to bind and…
