Based on the information we have in our system you will need either the Lippert # LC66WD or Dexter # K23-478-479 brake kits for each of your axles depending on who manufactured your axle. These are 10" diameter by 2-1/4" wide brake assemblies. If you can provide me with the axle tag information on your 2018 Coachmen Freedom Express Blast 271BL toy hauler I can verify this information with the axle manufacturer to ensure Coachmen did not use an axle with different components.
