Expert Reply:

Hey Rudi, the etrailer brake assemblies part # AKEBRK-7-SA that you referenced is the correct place to start as that is correct for a 5,200 lb axle.

Next you will need hub drums but that will depend on the wheel bolt pattern you have. If it's a 6 lug setup you would want the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K or if it's an 8 lug you'd need part # AKHD-865-7-G-EZ-K. These are sold individually.

When you go to wire everything up be sure to use 10 gauge wire like part # 10-1-1 which we sell by the foot.

@RudiP I can help you with the exact parts but I don't have ability to add anything to a shopping cart for your or make it a single part number. So since you have a triple axle you'd need six of the part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K Since the brake assemblies are sold in pairs you'd need three of the part # AKEBRK-7-SA If you need wiring you'd want # 10-1-1 which is sold by foot but it's hard for me to estimate how much you'd actually need. The prices are all down below or on the product pages if you click the links. Since they update every now and then I can't mention them as I wouldn't want to give out info that could change and be inaccurate.
