Helpful Expert Reply:

The electric brakes on the Roadmaster Tow Dolly # RM-2050-1 can be converted to surge brakes if you'd like.

You'll need the brake assemblies, actuator, and brake lines.

For the brakes I suggest # AKUBRK-35. This includes both the left and right hand side which are specific. The brakes are labeled so you know which is which.

Our most popular brake actuator is the Demco # DM72VR. This fits a 2 inch hitch ball and has a capacity of 6,000 pounds.

For a brake line kit I would go with the 18 foot kit # 18SI-BLKIT. The 15 foot, # 15SI-BLKIT, is probably enough but I'd rather have a little too much than not enough.
