Replacement Electric Brakes For 3,500lb Axle On Travel Trailer With OEM Dexter ABS System
Published 10/28/2025
Question:
I’ve got a (I think) 3,500-lb tandem axle travel trailer with the Tow Assist ABS setup. Are these 10inch brakes the correct replacements?

Expert Reply:
Matt, the Dexter 10 inch ABS Tow Assist brakes # DX73WR are exactly what you’ll need if you indeed have a 3,500-lb axle with the ABS hub setup. They bolt to the standard 4-bolt flange and connect to your existing sensor and plugs. If your axle tube measures 2-3/8 inch in diameter or your bearings read L68149 inner and L44649 outer, that confirms it’s the 3.5K size.
What type of trailer do you have? I've heard of these brakes being added on quite a few higher end travel trailers from the manufacturer recently.
