Made in the USA by Dexter Axle — the industry standard in trailer braking systems.
🔧 Select Your Side
Choose Left Hand (LH / Driver Side) or Right Hand (RH / Passenger Side) from the dropdown above. Single-axle trailers need one of each; tandem-axle trailers need a pair of each. Always replace brakes in matching pairs for even wear.
