How to Pick Out Trailer Brakes for a Aluma Trailer

Published 07/28/2016

Question:

I am interested in adding electric brakes to an Aluma 6310 utility trailer. The axle is rated at 2000# and has 5 lug 4.5inch pattern, 13inch wheels. It is a torsion axle with flanges. Do you have enough info on Aluma products is this enough to determine what I need?

I attached a link to a page that has all of the 2,000 lb axle hub/drums we carry with a 5 on 4-1/2 inch bolt pattern. What you will need to do is pull the bearings out of your current hubs and select the numbers you have from the filters on the page to see which will fit.

Or if you can't find the numbers email me back with the diameter of the spindle where the bearings ride.

On the product page for the hubs you end up going with there will be a related parts section where the correct assemblies will be listed. You will need a left and right hand side.
