Question:
I’m upgrading a trailer that has 15" wheels and want to change to 13" trailer wheels. Will these Lippert ABS brakes and hubs clear 13inch wheels?

Expert Reply:
They sure will, Kristen! The Lippert ABS 10" electric brake assembly # LC73PX is made for use with 13, 14, and 15inch wheels, so you're covered.
If you’re adding new hubs too, just make sure they’re ABS-compatible, either the # LC44PX 5-lug (5 on 4-1/2) or # LC24PX 6-lug (6 on 5-1/2) options would work depending on your bolt pattern. Have you decided if you’re using E-Z Lube axles? That can help simplify bearing maintenance down the line.
Did you already have a shop install the Lippert ABS module and wiring? We don't have this, as it is a bit more involving and not an extremely simple task, but it can be done by sourcing parts from Lippert.

Andrew, if I swap down to 13" wheels on my 3,500-lb axle, will that affect heat buildup in the drums when towing heavy, or is it no different than running 15s?
