Hey Don! We do have the replacement brakes for the Dexter ABS system. What you need is the Dexter Electric Trailer Brake for Dexter ABS Tow Assist - 10" - Left/Right Hand - 3.5K # DX73WR.

How has that brake system been working for you? I've heard good things.

@Don Don, how did you get the Dexter ABS system on your trailer? From OEM or as add on? No one seems to know how to add the system to a trailer. Alan

@AlanS I'm sure it is OEM, just like certain manufacturers have added the Lippert ABS brakes from the factory. As far as I know we are the only ones with these parts, and we are still waiting for some to show up from Dexter. I still haven't heard anything from Dexter either, they haven't even been responding to us for simple axle identification so I'm not sure what is going on over there.
