Hey there Mohan. The Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 72" Long - 2,000 lbs #e37YR you were looking at already has an idler hub on it which is not setup for brakes. You would need to replace the axle with something like…

Hello Brady, thanks for reaching out. The Fastway Zip Coiled Trailer Breakaway Cable w/ Plunger Pin #FA80-01-2204 will work with breakaways from Fastway and Bargman. I don't have a complete list of all the part numbers but it should work with any…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
Hey Trevor! You don't need to add a trailer battery to use the etrailer Electric Trailer Jack #e72QV. The jack has its own 7-way plug that connects directly to your tow vehicle for power, so it is a really nice option for an enclosed trailer like…

Hi Don, Based off the measurements of your current equalizer being 5 5/8" center to center, I wouldn't recommend using the MORryde CRE3000 because it's over an inch longer than your current equalizer. Having an equalizer that's…
Hi Jim, the honest answer is that there isn’t a direct replacement or rebuild kit still available for the TDE LP8000, so the right path forward is to replace the entire actuator, which typically means cutting the old one off and installing a new…
When aligning tandem axles you simply want to make sure you are aligning them so they are square to the trailer frame. The easiest way to do this is with a simple measurement from the center of the trailer frame to the to the center of the wheel on…
Hey Eli! The first thing you want to do is make sure you have brake flanges on those axles. You also need to take a look at the axle tags and find the axle capacity. More than likely they're 3,500 lb axles so I'll answer based on that. If you…
While I was unable to confirm who manufacturers the Defender 2 brake away system on your 2021 Big Tex 60EC. I do agree that the Bright Way Push-to-Test Trailer Breakaway Kit #3802346 does look identical minus the decal and they have the same wiring…
Keep tabs on your battery at a glance with an LED indicator, so you know your breakaway system is ready. For a single or tandem axle trailer, a 5 amp hour battery is typically used, while a triple axle setup needs a 10 amp hour battery. These kits pair with electric brakes, and a 5Ah battery has powered an electric over hydraulic actuator; if you're relocating the switch, fully disconnect the battery to prevent powering the brakes.
A built-in charger can maintain the battery if you supply constant 12V power to the connector, and it prevents overcharging. If the trailer sits, the battery can go dead quickly when left on the trailer, so use a maintainer when parked. Unplug or disconnect the battery when relocating the switch to prevent powering the brakes.
It gives a quick read on battery status before you tow or after wiring. Use it to confirm the breakaway battery is charged and the charger is working. If instructions seem off, verify the correct manual and diagram for your specific kit. Identify wire functions on the plug side—don't rely on wire colors.
Pick 5 amp hour for most single and tandem axle trailers. Use 10 amp hour for triple axle setups to help each brake assembly get power for 15 minutes on full power during a breakaway. The LED indicator makes it easy to confirm charge level either way.
Yes, a 5Ah breakaway battery has powered an electric over hydraulic system. Check your actuator's power needs and confirm the battery type in your kit matches them. Use the LED test to verify charge before towing and after you wire the switch.
