Electric Brake Kit And Hub & Drum For Industrial Axle Company 3,500 lb Axle

Question:

I measured the bolt pattern at 5 on 4" but I don't think that can be right. I'm thinking it must be 5 on 4 1/2"? Please let me know what drum options you have. I also need a tire and wheel. It is 15" with 205/75R15 tires. Thanks

We do indeed have an electric brake kit for your 3,500 lb Industrial Axle Company axle, and you can choose from either self-adjusting or manual adjusting brakes.

Self-Adjust
- Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit # 23-468-469

Manual Adjust
- Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-35

- Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10B

- Brake Adjustment Spoon for Drum Brakes # W80630

Either will work perfectly for you, with the difference being the self-adjusting Dexter brakes include the mounting hardware, and do not require you to re-adjust, so they are less maintenance. The trade-off of going with the Dexter brakes is the higher cost, though if you use your trailer often, it is probably worth the expense. However, if you don't tow somewhat regularly then the manually adjusting brakes are the better option.

We do indeed have the correct hub and drum for your 3,500 lb axle, which is the following: - Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles # 84546UC3 This hub and drum includes the bearings, races, and grease seal as well so you do not have to purchase those separately. It has a 5 on 4-/12" bolt pattern (there is not a 5 on 4") so will fit a wheel with that bolt pattern, and there are a couple of options wheels with that bolt pattern that have a 205/75R15 tire. I recommend going with Provider because of its deep 9.8/32" tread depth, its 81 mph speed rating, and outstanding 2-year warranty which includes tire change should you ever need it: - Load Range C (1,820 lbs): Provider ST205/75R15 Radial Trailer Tire with 15" White Mod Wheel # TA47VR
