I did some research and it appears that your 2012 Jayco Jay Flight Series M-33 RLDS has a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,300 lbs. Since you have dual dexter axles, it is likely that they either have a 5,200 lb capacity or a 3,500 lb capacity. The axle capacity will be needed to determine the correct replacement braking assemblies.

If you have 3,500 lb axles then I recommend using the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA. If you have 5,200 lb axles then I recommend using the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA. They are both self-adjusting which means you do not have to adjust them periodically to ensure proper wear. As long as you pick the correct set that corresponds to your axle's capacity then they will work with your existing hub/drums.

The best way to determine if you have 3,500 lb or 5,200 lb axles would be to crawl underneath the trailer and look for a white sticker placed on the centerline of either axle. This sticker will tell you what the axle capacity is. I have attached a review/install video on one of the braking assemblies for you as well.

The brakes on your 2012 Jayco Jay Flight Series M-33 RLDS are more than likely a 12"x2". However, you will want to check just to be sure. If this is the case then for a set of manual adjust brakes you would want to use the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-6. If you go to the product page and enter "2" into the quantity box, that will give you the price for four brakes.

Answer 1

You're correct. A 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern will have 6 lugs with a 5-1/2 inch bolt circle. That means that if you measure from the center of one bolt across the hub to center of the opposite bolt, that distance will be 5-1/2 inches. I'll…

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…

In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.

Answer 4

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

The difference between an load range C and load range D tire in the same size is the capacity and psi rating. The two tires will still have the same dimensions and fit on the same wheel. The D rated tire has a higher capacity. For a ST175/80D13 like…

Answer 6

The two sizes you mentioned are pretty similar and fit many of the same 15 inch wheels. The 205/75-15 fits rim widths of 5 inch to 6 inch whereas the 225/75-15 fits widths that are 5 inch to 6-1/2 inch. The 205 is 27.1 inches tall and the 225 is 28.4…

Answer 7

The #84 spindle is just a common way to identify the spindle dimensions typically used for 3,500 lb axles. So instead of listing out the parts, people can just say they have #84 spindles and it's easier to know what fits it. The CE Smith Trailer…

Hey Clarence. There's no way to look at a tire or wheel and tell if it's a 5 on 4-1/2 or a 5 on 5 but you can take a real quick measurement to figure it out. If you'll look at the picture below you'll see a wheel with a red line on…

Hi Kyler! We definitely have center caps and lug nuts that you can use, but the Kenda Karrier KR35 ST175/80R13 LRD Radial Trailer Tire w/ 13" Aluminum AM03 Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 #KE34TJ does not include them. With that said, I recommend the…

Hey Dave, for a saltwater boat trailer, powder-coated wheels wouldn't be my first choice, but they can still last quite a while if you're good about rinsing them thoroughly after each launch and sealing any chips or cracks in the finish as…

Answer 11

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
