Key Questions to Ask When Ordering trailer axle with disc brakes

If you are in a state that allows it, I would leave the brakes OFF of the rearmost axle. I've had a trailer "come around me" once due to the brakes locking up on a steep, wet, slick downhill road. Was a narrow road and a car pulled out in front of me and panicked. Truck was chattering on the ABS and the trailer started coming around. I was on the horn and motioning the car to come on out and get out of the way. I tried to let off the brakes to let the trailer straighten up but there wasn't enough room. We all stopped ok, but the trailer was jack knifed. If there had been a set of wheels with no brakes, we'd have stopped straight.

This is about the only circumstance that doesn't give the advantage to brakes on all axles. If you don't plan on being on a slick downhill with people pulling out on you, then brakes on all 3 is fine.

I just had mine done by Performance Trailer Braking. I recommend calling them (Ron) and he will be happy to talk with you.

I'm pretty sure that the axle size and number of wheel bolts is the only real info needed. I suspect that once you tell Ron the info you stated above he can answer any questions you have. He is a very nice guy and a fountain of knowledge on this subject. They sell all-inclusive kits for DIY and also have crews that travel around doing installs.

Bearings came with the kit for my install.
