Review of Dexter Axle Brake Actuator - Surge Brake Actuator with Lockout - DX89FR Video

If you don't mind drilling Jeremy I would recommend using all three mounting holes of the Dexter Actuator part #DX89FR or if you know a welder just have them weld it to the trailer. If you were going to only use two though use whichever two line…

After speaking with EZ Loader what you have on your trailer is a 3,700 lb axle. From what they said the axle was upgraded even though your overall trailer capacity is 3,100 lbs. Although this uses the same #L44649 outer and #L68149 inner bearings,…

To get the best braking power for your boat trailer you would want to have disc brakes on both axles. If you happen to be limited to one axle then you would want the rear outfitted. With a 5,000lb boat you likely have two 3,500lb torsion axles. The…

The Dexter brake actuator part #DX89FR that you referenced can be used with tandem axle disc brake trailers.

In terms of capability the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout - Bolt On - Disc - 2" Ball - Zinc - 7.5K #DX89FR is a good replacement option. The problem is the design of your old TDE LP7000 which was installed inside the tongue…

Thank you for all of the photos and information! From what I can see it looks like you have a #84 spindle but that inner bearing blew out so you should be able to remove that inner sleeve that looks like it's still on the spindle (next to where…

The clip that goes around 3 of the leaves of the 5-Leaf Spring part #e34SR that you referenced can go either in front of the axle or behind it. Either way would be perfectly fine. I attached an FAQ on trailer suspension for you to check out as well.

What a lockout on a hydraulic brake coupler does is prevent the brakes from applying when you back the trailer. An electric lock out is tied into the reverse lamp circuit on the vehicle so that when the vehicle is shifted into reverse the solenoid in…

Are you basically asking how much length would this coupler add to the tongue of your trailer?

Dexter doesn't put reverse lock outs on their drum brake actuators so you'd need to add the part #DM5404 do a new actuator. The part #DX97FR is just the inner section of an actuator though. For the actuator you'd need the part #DX33FR.
