I can help you pick out the correct parts to add brakes to your trailer but we don't have the exact parts you'll need without requiring you to do some checking. I attached a link to this page that has a guide which covers the entire process of adding brakes to a trailer. First thing you'll want to do though is determine if your current axles have brake flanges like the four bolt flange you see on the spindle # TRU74FR.
From there it's just a matter of picking out the correct hub/drum and then building the rest of the setup.
