The correct electric trailer brake kit for a Dexter 3,500 Lb Axle is the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-468-469 for self-adjust or the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-26-27 for manual adjust. Self-adjust means the brakes will adjust themselves and manual adjust means you will need to adjust the brakes every so often for even pad wear.
