Question:

I found the new wheels Id like to use from your site: And I want to add these self adjusting brakes: 23-468-469 Can you list which other parts Id need to order, to accomplish that? Such as a higher rated leaf spring and or stub/spindle? Aiming for approx ~2000lbs GVWR. Thx in advance!

I do have an option for you to upgrade to larger wheels/tires in the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel part # AM3S130 which is similar to the Loadstar ST185/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" Galvanized Wheel part # AM3S334 you were asking for. However, the Harbor Freight Trailers use very uncommon bearings and we don't have any hubs that will work with them so I can't get you setup with brakes and the larger bolt pattern. There could also be an issue with the lack of a brake mounting flange.
