The Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator w Electric Lockout # DX56FR is designed to mount on a 3" x 5" straight tongue. In order to make this work for your trailer, you would need to use a flexible brake line since the actuator and line will be folding away.

I have attached a video review as well as a link to all of our brake lines for your reference.
