Helpful Expert Reply:
Everything I can find about your trailer is that it uses a 2" ball, has a GVWR between 2,500-3,500 pounds when loaded and has hydraulic drum brakes.
As long as that is all correct then the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator # DX27FR will work for you. This actuator works with hydraulic drum brakes, has a ball size of 2" and a weight capacity up to 7,500 pounds.
