The 6,000 lb # 7461121-EB axle you asked about does not come with electric brakes with manual parking levers, so you would need to piece the parts together with the following:

- Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with E-Z Lube Spindles - 95" Long - 6,000 lbs # 7461121

- Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ

- Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Parking Brakes # 23-112-113

- Mounting Bolts and Hardware for 12" Brake Assemblies # BRKH12
