You can use the the Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-35-SA on your 3500-lbs axles, which are a great upgrade from your manual adjustment brakes and will provide you with a maintenance free brake assembly after the initial adjustment. Since these brake assemblies don't come with any hardware you'll need part # BRKH10B to mount these.

When it comes to the hubs, the good news is that 3500-lbs axles are all going to use an # L68149 inner and # L44649 outer bearing; so there's not much guess work for that. You will want the hubs you choose to have a matching bolt pattern to your current hubs and wheels. I've linked our entire selection of hubs for 3500-lbs axles with those bearings, but if you look at the top of the linked page you can select your bolt pattern and then choose your hub and drum assemblies based off that. Something like the # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K would be a good choice if you have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern since they're a pre-greased assembly like you're looking for.

If you can let me know what bolt pattern you've got, I can confirm which parts will work for your hub replacement. I've also linked some product review videos and helpful articles on how to determine the bolt pattern of your current wheels.

Hey Robert! Ideally you're going to get 12V all the way back to the brakes but that typically doesn't happen. What exactly is the issue? Are they not working at all? At 8-9V I would expect them to have most of their functionality to a point…

Hey Dan, The info you provided does tell us a bit about the axle but isn't enough to look up what components go with with it. With it being a 3,500lb axle it's probably a generic 3,500lb kit for the bearings and seals but I'd hate to not…
