Adding Breaks How many Axles??
#11
I'm going through this right now, just bought hyd. for all three of my axels, tryed to use kodiac brakes but wouldn't work on my trailer the axel flange was to close to the frame of trailer, couldn't get the bolts in the calipers, so had to send them back and get the smaller G 6 older style disc brakes, i guess what I'm trying to say is get all measurements before you order because it almost cost me 250 in shipping because i older the wrong stuff first and had two send it back....I used a place called the Hub, its in Fla. I'm in PA they will ship to you, 561 844 7466 talk to bill, they had everything, line kits, brake kits, led lts, my trailer is the same as your 10.5k 5 lug axels, and I haul a 30' cig mystique......

+1. Can never have enough brakes. Most states now require brakes on all 3 axles. Even if your state didnt, its worth the extra dollars for safety and piece of mind.

I agree that EOH disc is the best available, but for $89 an axle, it's hard to beat electrics when you are retrofitting a trailer.

They run from 20.00 on up per wheel for the assemblies. The last set I ordered were 44 bucks each.
I should have specified this was converting from existing surge brakes. When you are converting from surge brakes, these assemblies will bolt right in using the same drum and hub hardware. In your case, you will need drums and bearings that match the size and weight rating of your brake assemblies. Still much cheaper than a EOH setup, and parts can be had pretty much anywhere. My $.02.
