The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator part # DX89FR for disc or part # DX33FR for drum will work to replace both a UFP A-60 or A-75 Brake Actuator so there will be no worried here. The A-60 is rated for 6K and the A-75 is rated for 7.5K. The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator is rated for 7.5K which is why there will be no issues.

Dexter doesn't put reverse lock outs on their drum brake actuators so you'd need to add the part #DM5404 do a new actuator. The part #DX97FR is just the inner section of an actuator though. For the actuator you'd need the part #DX33FR.

Hi Dave; the old Dexter DB-35 brakes are designed for 3,500 lb axles. I believe that was a hub/rotor disc brake kit so the Kodiak Disc #K2R35D will work for your trailer as long as you add a hub like #AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K with a 5 on 4-1/2 bolt…
