For your braking assembly you will simply need to measure your hub diameter or the backing plate on your brake assembly and the thickness of your hubs. You will either need the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,000 lbs # K23-472-473-00 that are 10 x 1-1/2 inches or the wider brake shoe assemblies # 23-468-469 that are 10 x 2-1/4 inches. If you have 7 inch assemblies, you will want # K23-103-104-00.
If you have hydraulic brakes, you will either need the 7 inch # 23-398-399 or the 8-1/2 inch # T4442100-000 for your estimated axle size. The 3,500 lb 10 inch assemblies # 23-312-313 would be the next step up.
If you want to know your axle capacity, if it is not clearly stamped on the axle itself, you will need to pull a hub and get your bearing numbers or measure your spindles for me to assist. I've attached an article to help.
