Helpful Expert Reply:
I do have a solution, but we do not have a bolt-on actuator for a 4" wide trailer tongue. What you can use is the # DM8759922 along with # DM12688-95. This brake actuator can be welded on top of the trailer tongue. You will need to take it to a certified welder for installation.
