The big differences is basically pricing and brands. The part # AKFBBRK-35-D is a pair of Dacromet coated drum, hydraulic brakes that are free-backing. The part # 40716-15 is essentially the same thing buy made by Demco. The etrailer brand is going to cost less since it's our brand and there's not as much markup so it's the better deal.

Now the part # 40716-15 is basically just the part # 40716 and # 40715. What doesn't make much sense though is the pricing difference. It would seem to be that ordering them individually is the smarter choice based on that.
