Question:
I needs brakes for my 2014 Rockwood Ultra Lite camper. It is installed with two Dexter Axles that are 3,000 lbs, s/n 22899045 see picture. Can I use the 3.5k Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Brakes parts # 23-468-469? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:
A Dexter 3K axle would use 10 x 1-1/2 inch brake assemblies versus the 10 x 2-1/4 inch assemblies typically found on a 3.5K axle, so you'll want to use the # K23-472-473-00 brake assemblies you'd looked at. The # 23-468-469 brake shoes are too wide, and wouldn't allow your existing brake hub/drums to fully seat so they wouldn't work for you.
