If your trailer brakes are dragging or uneven, these Lippert 10" x 2-1/4" assemblies bring back steady, predictable stops. Each unit is built for 3,500-lb axles and works directly with Lippert’s ABS hubs to help reduce wheel lock-up and keep the trailer tracking straight when you hit the brakes hard. With bonded brake linings instead of rivets, they deliver more friction contact area for smoother braking over miles of towing.
Once installed, you don’t need to crawl underneath every few months to tweak the shoes. An internal cable automatically maintains the correct tension as the pads wear. That self-adjusting system keeps braking power consistent and saves time between trips—just a few applications after install will seat everything in place.
These electric drum brakes wire up just like standard trailer brakes—one lead to the brake circuit and one to ground through the frame. The backing plate comes prepped with holes and connectors for Lippert’s ABS sensors, so you can plug into the module without custom drilling or extra programming. The 4-bolt mounting flange and 2-7/8" bolt spacing match common 3,500-lb axle setups using 13", 14", or 15" wheels.
Every backing plate includes a proven electromagnet design and bonded friction material that holds up to repeated braking under load. By reusing your existing ABS sensor, the system stays fully integrated while you get dependable performance across both driver’s and passenger’s sides. Once bolted up and wired in, you’ll have balanced stopping power that feels solid and predictable every time you tow.

Ratings & Reviews
Brakes were well packaged and arrived very quickly. When I opened the package I saw the prominent sticker MADE IN CHINA so I swallowed hard and went to work installing them. Everything went smoothly until I tried to install the ABS sensor. I couldn’t get the bolt in. Upon further inspection I found that the bolt hole was not threaded. I checked the other brakes and found 2 were threaded and 2 were not. Since I was working on my driveway this was just an inconvenience but if I was on the side of the road or in a campground it would have been a real problem. Quality control is not there.
