Hey Kerry, so a 3,500 lb axle like what the DeeMaxx kit part # DE49VR is designed to fit and a 2,200 lb axle use totally different spindles so the DE49VR would not fit your axle.

For your 2,200 lb axle we only have drum style brakes like with the hub/drum part # T1662600CB042 and the brake assemblies # 23-47-48.

This trailer has disc brakes on it. It is a 2001 trailer with a label on the trailer that says disc brakes by Buddy.

@Kerry What size are the rotors? I am wondering if you have a 3,500 lb axle spindle.

@JamesonC The rotor is a 10 " rotor. I was looking and the drum brake you suggested and the Duramaxx 10 use the same inner and outer bearings so I would think the spindle should be the same.
