Replacement Hub/Drum And Brakes For a 2018 CrossRoads Cruiser Aire 28RD With Lippert 4.4K Axles
Question:
Hi, I have a 2018 Cruiser Aire 28RD fifth wheel which has LCI44lb axles. I have 6 bolt 15 rims. I am searching for a brake drum bearing kit to replace my old ones. When I but in my vehicle type into your website, it only offers minimum 5200lb, 12 x 2 drums. I am not sure, but I believe my drums are 10. Do you have 10, or can I replace them with your 12 drums. If possible I would like the 12, which would possibly provide me with greater braking abilities! Your thoughts and suggestions? Sincerely, Tom

I understand your confusion Tom, as your LCI4.4K axles are most likely going to have the 10" Lippert Electric Trailer Brakes # LC66WD. Lippert bases their 4.4K axle on a 3,500lb axle platform while most other manufacturers base it on a larger 3" axle tube with stronger components. This is why you are seeing the 12" brake option and as RV manufacturers often change change parts on trailers based on what is available and cost this is why you will see 2 of the same trailers with different parts options.
The Hub/Drum # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K contains everything you will need to replace one hub on your Lippert 4.4K axle. This includes the bearings, races, and seal. It has your same 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern.

Thanks Bud, Having said that, I was thinking on up-grading the 4.4 Lippert axles to 5.2, which have the 12" drums and better weight carrying capabilities. My wife and I are planning on camping off grid in parts of southwestern States and do not feel comfortable with the limited specs on the 4.4 axles. Question; will the current 15" rims have enough room to fit the 12" drums?
