Can You Put 10" Wheels On a 3,500 Lb Axle with Brakes
Question:
Will this kit work on a dexter 3,500# axle? I put 10inch wheels on to lower the trailer to fit it in the garage so the 10inch brake kits will not work in my application.

I do have an option for you but you can't run electric brakes on a 3,500 lb axle with 10" wheels as 10" brakes are too large and 7" brakes have different brake mounting flanges. That said, you can switch to surge brakes like the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit part # K2HR35D-8 which are a confirmed fit for a 3,500 lb axle and will fit 10" wheels. In order to complete your setup you'll need a few other items which I have attached below.
Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator for Disc Brakes part # HBA16
Kodiak Hydraulic Brake Line Kit part # 18SI-BLKIT
