Hey Brandon, thanks for the information. The Electric Trailer Brake Kit w/ Dust Shields item #AKEBRK-10 are exactly what you need. These self adjusting electric brakes are rated for 9,000 lbs and 10,000 lbs axles. You will need one set per axle. I…
You can add a heavier axle to the trailer but the rest of the components of your trailer may not be rated for a higher weight capacity such as the suspension components and wheels. If you go from a 3,500 lb axle to a 7,000 lb axle like part #8327834…
Not all bearings are created equal, but you would be hard-pressed to find one that is vastly superior than another. Whether it is TruRyde, Timken, or some other brand, if the bearings are properly maintained, used in the correct hub, and within the…
You can definitely connect a 5th wheel wiring harness to the bumper 7-way on your truck. The second in-bed 7-way connection is simply to give an easy access point and clean look. It keeps the wiring from dragging or moving against your tailgate, so…
The recommended clearance between the rear bumper on your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 and the body on your 2017 Grand Design Reflection is about 16" - 24" so it sound like you are good. There are also a few other clearance measurements…

I don't recommend upgrading one axle at a time. The capacity differences are substantial, and you will be limited to the weakest component. So the axle, the springs, the equalizer, the brake assemblies, and the hub/drum assemblies would all need…
For your 2018 Grand Design Reflection 337RLS you need a 6,000 lb axle with an 86-1/2" hub face measurement and 68-1/2" spring center length. Since the spring seats can be moved, you can use the Trailer Axle Beam with Easy Grease Spindles…
