Parts Needed to Add Brakes to 3,500 lb Axle
Question:
I currently have a 2000 Florida Trailer tri-axle trailer that I am wanting to convert from surge to electric brakes. The GAWR for the axles is 3500 each. I am hauling a 2000 Doral SC 270 on the trailer. Can you advise what I will need to install the electric brakes on this trailer?

Expert Reply:
For your tandem axle utility trailer, the 3,500 lb axles make it easy to add electric brakes. For 3,500 lb axles you will use 10 inch assemblies. My recommendation is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA for each axle. These assemblies will work well for your axles and are self adjusting. If you don't already have the hub/drum assemblies, then I recommend using the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K.
