• Longest 2" Ball Coupler For 3" Trailer Tongue
  Thanks for the photo, and that's an interesting issue. Realistically though, standard trailer couplers are shorter than their surge brake actuator counterparts, and there's unfortunately just no way around that. I can give you the longest possible option, but it is going to be shorter because brake actuators need a place to house the cylinder and standard couplers do not. The longest 2" ball coupler for a 3" channel is from Demco: - Demco Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler # DM15000-52 The...

  You could run a bolt through the # DM8104311 to manually lock it out if the solenoid fails. However, there is no spot on the actuator to do this so it would require drilling. A Replacement solenoid # DM11993 is also available. The hole would require a 1/4" pin. We don't have a regular pin but you could use the # e98887 which would hold it in place and deter theft.

• How Many Sets of Electric Trailer Brakes For Tandem 3,500 lb Axles When Converting From Hydraulic
  Excellent questions, and let's start with your query about having brakes on both axles. The answer is that you do indeed want to have brakes on both of your 3,500 lb tandem axles. The reason is because just one set of 3,500 lb brakes won't have the stopping power required for a trailer that weighs 5,000 or 6,000 lbs, and also just one set of brakes will also wear out very quickly as they'll be overworked for the load they are rated for. So for the best stopping power and safest way to...

• Recommended Channel Mount Coupler/Brake Controller Installation for Trailer Towed By 2010 Tacoma
  The Demco # DM12688-95 you've looked at would be a good choice. The 2 inch channel mount coupler is compatible with a 3 inch channel, and has bolt spacing of 2 inches on center.
