asked by: Allan P
Expert Reply:
To replace the brakes on your 2021 Forest River Flagstaff Micro Lite Travel Trailer 21DS you will want the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-468-469, or the manual adjusted item # 23-26-27.
Which disc brake conversion kit you're going to need will depend on what size bearings your 3,500 lbs axles use. I do not have anyway of knowing this so you will need to pull one of your hubs and look at the numbers stamped into the sides of the bearings. If yours has a Inner bearing of item # L68149 and a Outer bearing of item # L44649 then two of the Dexter Premier Disc Brake Kit 5 on 4-1/2 item # T2HRCM10DAC would be your best option.
