Thanks for reaching out, Michael!

The Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # K23-086-087-00 are compatible with 3,500 lb axles and have the standard 4-bolt pattern so if that matches the specs of your axle then this will definitely work for your application.

These measure 10" x 2-1/4" and fit with standard 3,500 lb hub/drum assemblies as well. You can verify the inner diameter and depth of your hub/drum to determine fitment as well.
