If I'm reading you correctly, you're going to need the:
-Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ.
&
-The Electric Trailer Brake Kit # AKEBRK-7-SA.
This hub, drum and brakes will work with axles that have a 5,200-lb and 6,000-lb weight capacity, and have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern.
The Bearings, races, grease seal, grease cap, wheel bolts, and lug nuts are included, however the mounting hardware # BRKH12 is sold separately if you need it.
