Hey Lauritz.

Assuming we are talking about the standard setup with the 5-bolt flange, then yes. The Dexter Electric Trailer Brake Assembly # 23-105 is a 12" x 2" manual adjust, driver side assembly. The passenger side is # 23-106, I recommend replacing both together. You could also pick up the kit # 23-105-106. Even though they say 6k axles, they are a confirmed fit with the 5,200lb axle you're working with.

Are you replacing the brakes because they’re worn out, or did you run into an issue with one side?

Hey Bryan, that's a good question. The pricing can definitely be misleading, but I wouldn't use it to judge the quality of the tire. A lot of that comes down to promotions, inventory, and whether you're looking at a tire by itself or…
