Question:
I have a two axle flat bed trailer from Carson Trailers. I installed Trailer breaks on the front axle last year. I am curious if its possible to install trailer breaks on the back axles as well, or if just one axle is recommended.

You can certainly install brake assemblies and drums on the rear axle of your tandem axle trailer, and they'll bolt right up as long as the axle has a brake mounting flange installed on it.
If the rear axle uses the same bearings, and the hubs have the same wheel bolt pattern, you can use the same # AKEBRK-35R-SA and # AKEBRK-35L-SA brake assemblies and # AKHD-550-35-K hubs you used last time.
