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…
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…
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…
These arrived yesterday and are EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thanks for the excellent service!

Trailer Breakaway Kit with Side Load and LED Indicator
These trailer breakaway kits complete the circuit to power your electric brakes if the trailer disconnects. The side load box layout teamed with a led indicator push-to-test makes it easy to confirm function before you tow. If your kit includes an incident control unit that flashes the trailer lights, plan for an extra lead to the running lights circuit during wiring.
On ICU-equipped kits, the alarm/flash can activate whenever the trailer is disconnected or the vehicle's 12V feed drops with the key off; press the alarm button after disconnecting. Some units don't allow manually disabling the alarm. If interior lights share the 12V feed, add a diode to prevent backfeeding from the breakaway battery.
The LED/test feature lets you confirm battery charge and the breakaway function quickly. If your kit includes an ICU that flashes trailer lights, connect its extra lead to the running lights so the flash feature works. If the lights don't flash during a test, recheck that connection and confirm the correct manual for your specific unit.
Connect white to ground, red to the 12V charge line, blue to the breakaway switch lead, and the ICU's black wire to the running lights (brown). Verify the function of each trailer wire rather than trusting colors. If the flash feature doesn't activate, confirm the black lead is tied into the marker circuit and check the correct wiring diagram.
Yes, installation can be straightforward. Kits have gone on trailer tongues with included mounting hardware and clear instructions. Before drilling, review the wiring diagram carefully—some diagrams have been incorrect. Verify wire functions on the plug side rather than relying on colors.
