Replacement Brake Actuator for 2003 Zieman Trailer
Question:
I have a 2003 zieman trailer and need a new actuator. Which products fit this trailer?

In order to choose a brake actuator you need to first choose one that meets or exceeds the GTWR of the trailer. You also want to choose one that matches the hitch ball you are using, the type of brakes (disc or drum), and fits your trailer tongue. Another thing to consider is whether or not you want a manual or electric lockout, or no lockout at all.
For example, the Dexter DX7.5L A-60 Brake Actuator - Bolt On # DX27FR you were looking at has a capacity of 7,500 lbs and is designed for hydraulic drum brakes. This will fit a 2" ball and a 3" x 4" straight tongue. This actuator is capable of manual lockout using the # DX94FR. If you have a 3" x 5" straight tongue you would want the # DX83FR instead.
I have attached a link to all of our available surge brake actuators which can be filtered down by brake application, coupler size, capacity, and frame fit.
