Hello Kevin, thanks for reaching out. Yes, those parts will be interchangeable. Both the Lippert # LC46WD and the Dexter are the # K23-478-479 10" x 2-1/4" brake shoes and the same 4-bolt backing plate. If you are looking to replace your brakes and save some money, our most cost-effective option for that size of self-adjusting brake is the following:
