What is your tow vehicle? You will need to wire in a trailer brake controller, easier to do on some vehicles than others. Howziss for covering all the bases? "What Herb K., Richard P., and Clay said!" *and* consider - if your rig is "nice-n-light" and your "geographical situation/traffic warrants"... simply going the (easy-peasy) Torflex route while leaving the rig brakeless. (Gasp!) Been there/done that on a 15-meter glass ship/trailer combo that - for decades - I towed w. a 2,600 lb, unboosted/drum-braked, vehicle, throughout the high plains and intermountain west...with nary a (negatively) exciting moment behind the wheel of that particular combo. That was after some years of towing the same rig w. an early version of "a Torflex-like" welded-spring, brakeless, axle whose spring-attach-welds broke on both sides of the axle. I've also installed an electric brake controller on wifey's Tacoma (easy enough)...but heard "some Fords" are bears in that particular department. YMMV!
