Helpful Expert Reply:

The Dexter Brakes # 23-105-106 you have are going to be better than our comparable etrailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6. Dexter's brakes are manufactured in the USA while ours are Chinese so Dexter is going to have better components. If you are changing your brakes it is beneficial upgrade to the self-adjusting like the Dexter # 23-458-459 or our etrailer # AKEBRK-7-SA
