Parts Needed to Add Brakes to Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles
Question:
Hello, I have a 2016 CandM Trailer 76x16, two 3500lb axles that I’d like to add electric brakes to as I have a brake controller already in my pickup. Would you have a kit that I could accomplish this with? The manufacturer said it should just bolt on. Thank you

Expert Reply:
For your tandem axle 2016 C and M trailer, the 3,500 lb axles make it easy to add electric brakes. You will need to use 10 inch assemblies. My recommendation is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA for each axle. These assemblies will work well for your axles and are self adjusting. Then I recommend using the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly - 3.5K E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K and you'd be set.
The assemblies will bolt right onto the mounting flanges of your current axle.
