Hey James, we have just what you need to add brakes to your Dexter 3,500 lb trailer axles. Basically you only need two things. You need brake assemblies and hub/drums.
For brake assemblies you would want the part # AKEBRK-35-SA which are self adjusting and then for hub/drums you'd want the part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K which is pre-greased and you'd be set
