The best electric over hydraulic actuator we offer for drum brakes is the HydraStar part # HBA-12. This is our most reliable and fastest performing kit around that we recommend the highest. It can also be used on triple axle trailers like you have as well. You need to use the breakaway kit but it would function without it installed.

Answer 10

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…
