In order to choose the correct braking assemblies for a trailer you'll need to know the type (electric or surge) and axle capacity (we cannot look this up for any given trailer). The axle capacity is usually found on the axle tag. The two most common braking assembly kits we offer for electric brakes is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA for 3,500 lb axles or the part # AKEBRK-6 for 5,200 lb - 7,000 lb axles.

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…

Hi Rusty; the Dexter #84546UC3-EZ and etrailer #AKHD-5475-35-K will both fit a 3,500 lb axle but they have different bolt patterns. You already ordered the Dexter in the past so I'm assuming your wheels are 5 on 4-1/2. For the same bolt pattern…
