Hi I need to rebuild a boat trailer that’s rusting out in salt water. It’s a double axel total about 6000 lbs.Considerings the following… 8-247-50uc3 hub and drum Akfbbrk-35-d hydraulic brake kit And E48sr leaf springs Are they compatible? Also need to add galvanized U bolts 2 1/2” wide and about 6 1/2 long to secure new spirited to round axels. And galvanized or stainless steel bolts to connect everything else.

Expert Reply:
Hey Tony, all of the components you mentioned would work as long as the axles you have are 3,500 lb axles. This is a very common axle capacity so I would assume that is what you have but you can check this by looking at the tag on the axle to verify or measure the diameter which should be 2-3/8 inches.
I linked everything below.

Do you also have galvanized or stainless bolts to secure the Brake Kit to the axel and the leaf springs to the frame?
