Replacing Electric Brakes On A 2018 Lightning 29' X 7' Trailer With 3500 Lbs Dexter Axle & 10" Brake
Question:
I have a 2018 Lightning 29ftx7ft inline snowmobile trailer. Twin axle, both with electric brakes. I need to replace the brakes. How do I tell what size brakes, what weight axles?

Expert Reply:
I reached out to Lightning and their representative said your trailer has a Dexter 3500 lbs axle with 10" electric brakes. I recommend the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K, part # 23-468-469. These brakes come with the mounting hardware and plugs. They will work for 14" or 15" wheels. It is a self-adjusting brake.
I have included a product description link and a video of this brake being installed below.
