The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-6 will likely fit your 5,200 lb AL-KO axle. These are 12" x 2" with a 5 bolt brake flange mounting pattern. I recommend checking your brake flange just to be sure. If you have the older 4 bolt AL-KO pattern and not the standard 5 bolt then you need the # 23-105-106-09 instead.

As long as your 5000lb axle uses 12" x 2" brakes like a typical 5200-7000lb axle then the stronger 7000lb brake assemblies will fit just fine. They will provide stronger braking, but that is not necessarily better. If you can adjust your…

Hello Richard, Thank you for the axle information. Based on the text you provided, T52P86.5/68.5TM655ULE ML4SPIOB, the T52 suggests that you have a 5,200-pound axle. However, since there isn’t a universal standard for trailer axles, I recommend…

Answer 7

First, a 5,200 pound axle is a de-rated 6,000 pound axle so they take many of the same parts. Some 7,000 pound axles also take the same size parts. The difference is the size or ability of the magnets. Sometimes you will see the same type of magnet…

Both the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Kit #23-47-48 and the Electric Trailer Brake Kit #AKEBRK-2 are excellent options to replace the brake assemblies on your 2009 Palomino Pony pop-up camper. A lot of the Dexter Axle kit price comes from the name…

The #AKEBRK-35L-SA Self Adjusting brake assemblies will adjust themselves as you drive after the initial installation. The front brakes will always bear a bit more of the braking work, because more of the trailer weight is normally on the most…

Answer 11

Self-adjusting brake assemblies are the way to go like with the #AKEBRK-7-SA which do fit your 7k Dexter axles. The only real reason to go with manual adjust is really just cost. At one point the self adjusting models were much more expensive but now…

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.…
