There is one electric brake assembly that may be able to work for you, the Dexter Electric Brake Kit # 23-105-106-09. This kit fits standard 5-bolt mounting flanges or AL-KO/Hayes 4-bolt flanges; if you have this type of 4-bolt flange you would likely know it because the pattern is offset, with the upper mounting bolt holes spaced further apart than the lower holes.

These brakes are rated for 6,000 lbs and come with the mounting nuts but would require Brake Mounting Bolts # 7-5 and Lock Washer for Brake Mounting Bolts # 38LW.

I've added links to a couple video reviews of these brakes for you to check out.
