Mounting Hardware Needed for 3.5K Electric Trailer Brakes

Question

Question:

I bought a set of TRU36FR electric breaks. I would like to also replace the nuts that hold the break assembly in place. I was wondering if you could tell me what the threads are on the studs? Thanks

Hey John, thanks for reaching out!

Your TruRyde Electric Trailer Brakes # TRU36FR can be installed using the Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies # BRKH10B which fit 7/16" studs with 20 threads per inch so that's the size on your brakes.

Is there anything else I can help you with to get your trailer prepped for towing season?

If you are only putting brakes like the #TRU36FR on one axle, we recommend doing the front axle for a few reasons. First, the front axle technically will bear more weight than the rear. Most trailers it would be about 60% on the front axle and 40% of…
