Recommended Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brakes for a 6,000 lbs Dexter Axle

Question

Question:

Your site calls for Dexter Electric Brake Kit 23-112-113. Can I use the Never Adjust 23-464-465 instead. I want the Never Adjust feature. This is a Dexter D60 axle with 12 inch drum.

Yes, you can use the 7,000 lbs Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit item # 23-464-465 instead of the item # 23-112-113 for the Nev-R-Adjust feature. However, the item # 23-112-113 is a 6,000 lbs system. If that's all you need I recommend the 6,000 lbs Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit item # 23-458-459. This is the 6,000 lbs Nev-R-adjust kit.

These brakes are 12" diameter x 2" wide, have a 5 bolt mounting flange, and fit 14-1/2", 15" or 16" wheels. This kit will allow you to replace one axle's brakes.

I have linked an installation video below.

As long as your 5000lb axle uses 12" x 2" brakes like a typical 5200-7000lb axle then the stronger 7000lb brake assemblies will fit just fine. They will provide stronger braking, but that is not necessarily better. If you can adjust your…
