Expert Reply:

A 5,200 lb Dexter axle is pretty common so to add brakes to it what you'd need is the hub/drum part # K08-201-98 which would then allow you to install brake assemblies like the # AKEBRK-6 and you'd be set. To wire up the assemblies you'd want the part # 10-1-1 which is 10 gauge wire sold by the foot.
