Hey John! The closest set of brake assemblies we have is the 6,000 lbs Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes item # 23-105-106. These are 12", manual adjust, that have a 5-bolt brake flange. If you need ones with a parking brake we have item # 23-112-113. Additionally, if you have a 4-bolt brake flange you'll need the item # 23-105-106-09. All of these will work with a 4,500 lbs axle.
What trailer are you replacing the brakes on?
