Hello William, thanks for writing in.
You will need to double check the weight rating of the axles to make sure that you have 2 axles and they are rated for 6,000 pounds, unfortunately I do not have a database that supplies me with this information and there is not a standard on what they put on.
For the electric brakes you are going to want etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. Nice thing about these brakes is that they are self adjusting, and rated for 5,200 to 7,000 pound axles. Double check to see if your current ones have the 5 bolt flange.
Now for the hub on most 2018 reflection 27RL 30 fifth wheels they have a 6 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern with inner bearing 25580 (1.75" inner diameter) and an outer bearing of 15123 (1.25" inner diameter) if that is the case you will want our etrailer Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5.2K & 6K Axles - 12" - 6 on 5-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K.
Please make sure you double check the axle capacity, brake (backing plate) flange for 5 bolt, and inner and outer bearings. If they are different than what I suggested please let me know.

Hey William, did you get a chance to confirm your axle rating and bearing sizes for your Reflection fifth wheel? Once you verified those details, did the self-adjusting brakes and hub assembly fit the way you needed? Your update could make it easier for others checking their axle setup.
