Products Featured in This Question
Question:
I have a Lippert axle 3500 lbs. Wheel lug pattern is: 5 on 4.5. Number on axle is: LCI35-DI-85-70-N0SP-US-L-545-7242-V000111284. I want to add electric brakes. The axle does have a 4 hole mounting flange. Can you advise products you may have that would do this?

Expert Reply:
I sure can Bob and thanks for the information! Since you have a Lippert 3,500 lbs axle you'll be able to use the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K, you were looking at. These have a 5 on 4-1/2 lug nut pattern and are sold individually.
For brakes you'll want the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes item # AKEBRK-35. These attach to a 4 bolt mounting flange and fit 14", 14-1/2", and 15" wheel sizes. These are sold as a pair. You'll also need the Mounting Hardware for 10" Brake Assemblies item # BRKH10B to attach the brakes to your flange.
If you have any additional questions go ahead and throw them into the comment box below.

Thanks for your quick response Jerred. Any reason why you did not recommend the self adjusting brakes? My axle is a drop axle and the drop bracket will partially block the adjusting access making it difficult for periodic adjustment. So self adjusting would be nice. I know that brakes are usually mounted with the magnet at the bottom. Is there any reason they could not be mounted with the magnet at the top which would make easy access to the adjuster? Bob H
