Based on the information we have in our system you will need either the Lippert # LC66WD or Dexter # K23-478-479 brake kits for each of your axles depending on who manufactured your axle. These are 10" diameter by 2-1/4" wide brake assemblies. If you can provide me with the axle tag information on your 2018 Coachmen Freedom Express Blast 271BL toy hauler I can verify this information with the axle manufacturer to ensure Coachmen did not use an axle with different components.

Thank you for the picture which allows me to confirm the correct parts. Your Dexter D52 axles under your 2018 Coachmen Freedom Express Blast 271BL toy hauler came with the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit #23-458-459. We do have the…

The correct hub and drum assembly replacement for your Lippert 4,400 lb axle is the #8-407-5UC3-EZ. This comes with bearings and a grease seal. If you need brakes as well you can use the #LC66WD, or for self-adjusting brakes #K23-478-479.

Hey Brett, the reason we took the RoadArmor cushioned equalizers off our site is because we were told that Lippert stopped offering them to us. That said, we have several similar options that work really well and honestly are a better design like the…

Hey John, it looks like in 2024 you bought the MORryde shackle kit part #MR46ZR which includes new wet bolts that are the standard diameter of 9/16 inch. It would be extremely rare for your setup to require a 1/2 inch diameter spring bolt but crazier…

Hi Jose, I'd be happy to assist you in finding an equalizer upgrade for your 2026 Jayco Eagle 28BHU. The Lippert Road Amror Shock Absorping Equalizer part #LC53CK is a good equalizer but doesn't account for as much up and down travel,…

Hi Mark, great question! I completely understand wanting to double check this before ordering because once ABS systems get involved, using the wrong hub and drum assembly can create a really frustrating situation with sensor fitment or brake…

You are going to need the Bearing Kit #BK2-100 for each hub on your Lippert Axle. This kit contains the bearings, races and grease seal for each hub. If you end up needing brakes we have the Left #LC96WD and Right #LC46WD brake assemblies.

Thank you for providing that information. Leaf springs like the ones you have now typically match the axle capacity on your trailer. Although adding leaf springs with a slightly higher capacity won't hurt, it also is not necessary. Based on the…

Answer 9

It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…

Answer 10

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…

Answer 11

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
