We got what you need, Dave!

I have what you asked for listed below, but also a few alternative/upgrades if you are interested as well.

Brakes:
*Standard* Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # 23-26-27
*Upgrade* Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brakes - 10" - Left/Right Hand Assemblies - 3.5K # 23-468-469

The upgraded option here is more expensive, but you will not need to do any adjustments after the initial one. Basically, they are easier to live with. If you don't mind adjusting the standard brakes, go with the less expensive option. Speaking of less expensive, I do have some alternatives that would cost less than the Dexter brakes, if you are open to that. Just comment below and I can get you some part numbers for them.

Hubs/Drums:
*Standard* Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3
*Alternative* Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 10" - 5 on 4-1/2 - Pre-Greased # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K

For the hubs, the alternative isn't really an upgrade, but it is less expensive and does the same job. Both options are able to be installed on the left or right as they are not side specific like brakes are. It should be noted that both options are for the 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern, so it would be a good idea to make sure this is what you have (I saw a previous order that had this bolt pattern, but didn't want to assume as that's bad most of the time).

Hey Dave, did you decide to go with the standard Dexter brakes and hub, or did you opt for the upgraded or alternative options? I'd love to know how it worked out for you, as it could help others make their decision.
