Question:
Does this swing away tongue weld on coupler work if you have surge brakes? If so what other parts would I need to complete the installation?

Yes, the Fulton Fold-Away Hinge Kit for 3 x 3 inch Trailer Tongue - Weld-On, item # FHDPW330300, will work on a trailer with surge breaks.
You will need to determine the length of the coupler that will be in front of the fold away to select the appropriate length of flexible hydraulic brake line to allow the foldaway to fold without damaging the brake line. We have several lengths of flexible brake line available for this.
Titan Hydraulic Brake Line with Fittings - 12-27/32 inches Long, item # T0777300
Titan Hydraulic Brake Line with Fittings - 18-25/32 inches Long, item # T0776500
Titan Hydraulic Brake Line with Fittings - 25 inches Long, item # T0980100
You will then need to shorten the existing brake line by coiling it inside the stationary part of the tongue (always coil from the top down not bottom up or sideways) or by cutting the line reinstalling the fitting, in the correct direction, on the line and double flaring the end of the cut brake line.
