Hey Rick! Since you have 5,200 lb Dexter axles you can use the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K # AKEBRK-7-SA. These are 12" x 2" brake assemblies that fit a 5 bolt brake flange. If you prefer Dexter brakes, we also have the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust # 23-458-459.
What kind of equipment trailer do you have?

Replaced the brake assemblies on my 12k gooseneck horse trailer with these. Excellent fit and a fairly easy job. Remember to get the hardware kit. I know you could probably reuse the existing hardware but you might as well change it out.

Everything for great. I used the manual adjustment ones at etrailers recommendations. They said if you don’t tow all the time, that the automatic adjusters can freeze up
