Question:

Hello, I have a 2018 triple crown 5’x8’ utility trailer with two 3500 lb axles and electric brakes. It has 25000 miles and its a work trailer so Id like to change them as a precaution. Can you recommend electric brakes and hubs?

Expert Reply:

Thanks for the information Frank! To replace the hubs and brake assemblies on your 2018 Triple Crown 5’x8’ utility trailer with 3,500 lbs axles, I recommend the following parts:

Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3.5K Axles item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K

etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes item # AKEBRK-35-SA

The Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly item # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K is sold individually so you'll need four. The hub comes pregreased ready to install on your utility trailer. New bearings and a grease seal are already installed plus you get new lug nuts and a grease cap. This hub has a 5 on 4-1/2 lug nut pattern and is designed to work with E-Z Lube spindles.

The etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes item # AKEBRK-35-SA come in a left and right hand pair so you'll need one set per axle. These are self-adjusting brake assemblies that never need to be manually tuned or adjusted.
