Hello, Im wanting to change all of my 4 trailer brakes to self adjusting. I also would like to upgrade bearings if there is a better version than stock as well as a version to keep on hand for breakdowns. My Trailer info: 2019 Grand Design Imagine XLX 22RBE with Dexter 3000lb axles. Dexter # 8389381 Serial # 133165030 Please let me know part #s Thank you

Expert Reply:

For a Dexter 3,000 lb trailer axle what you'd need to do is upgrade to the 3,500 lb trailer axle hub/drums like with the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which fits your spindle and then would allow you to install a set of 3,500 lb trailer brake assemblies that are self-adjusting like the # AKEBRK-35-SA and you'd be set. The hub comes with bearings as well.
