Thanks for the info on your axle capacity, and we do have the correct hub and drum as well as self-adjusting brakes for a 5,200 lb Lippert axle, which I verified with the manufacturer, Lippert.

Starting with the hub and drum, the correct part depends on if you have an E-Z Lube axle (with a grease zerk) or not:

- Standard Axle: Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200 lb Axles # K08-201-97

- E-Z Lube Axle: Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 5,200 lb E-Z Lube Axles # K08-201-98

Then for self-adjusting electric brakes the correct part is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA.

This kit has both the left and right brake assemblies, and the only other thing you will need with these brakes is the Mounting Hardware # BRKH12.

Finally, if you do have the standard axle and not the E-Z Lube and need grease, I recommend the Prime Guard Wheel Bearing Hi-Temp Red Grease # L11380 with Bearing Packer # PTW1218 or # ALL647646.

I have added links to some video reviews for you to check out as well.
