When you’re parked on rough or sloped terrain, these brake assemblies let you secure your trailer with a handbrake setup. The Dexter 23-428-429 kit is parking-brake-ready, so you can connect a tongue-mounted activating lever and cables (sold separately) to hold everything steady. It’s a simple way to add control and stability when loading, unloading, or camping off the beaten path.
Built for 7,200-lb axles and wheels 16" or larger, these electric drum brakes deliver solid braking torque and consistent stopping power. They connect through a standard 4-bolt mounting flange and work with most hub-and-drum assemblies, including Dexter and Lippert. All you need is an electric brake controller—no hydraulic actuator or lines required—so the system stays simple and dependable.
These assemblies use fully bonded pads instead of riveted ones, giving you more friction contact for stronger, smoother braking. The pads have tapered edges that help reduce chatter and lockup, keeping braking consistent even as the shoes wear. It’s a design that feels steady right from the start and stays that way over time.
This set uses a manual adjustment system that’s quick to tune with a brake tool or screwdriver. Adjuster plugs are already in place to keep dirt and road grime out of the mechanism, helping everything last longer. With just a few minutes of routine maintenance, you can keep brakes properly dialed in for shorter stops and better control.
