Most trailer of this size use 10 inch brakes, I have a 2006 trailer with tandem axles, only one axle has brakes on it. I find these brakes last about 2-3 years if used in salt and flushed.
I use Kodiak you can order the whole kit. Here is one kit you can search around.

Recently replaced both UFP DB-35 brake calipers on 2009 MFI trailer.

UFP does not sell direct but did identify distributors in my area who stocked the calipers so I purchased locally.

For reference, Eastern Marine is a UFP distributor. http://www.easternmarine.com/UFP-Trailer-Disc-Brakes

Hope this helps.

Ordered brakes but don't know what to do about the leafs. They are saying it's 26" bc it's weighed down. That diff does it make. Where they bolt aren't gonna move regardless ?

I just went through all this.
My leafs were 26 3/8 inch center to center (springs are double eye style) I could not find that leaf so i changed out my rocker bar to a 7 1/4 inch and went to 25 1/4 inch springs. I had a few problems but all my fault. If we have the same trailer setup I can give you a list of everything you need and where to get it. My trailer is an MFI tandem axle (2006) tell me a few measurments,
1. type of leaf
2. Length of leaf (center of bolts)
3. length of rocker arm ( part in between springs) center of bolts

We have the same trailer. My 27" springs will be here Friday. We will see how it goes in a couple weeks. I have family coming in town tomorrow so I won't be able to play until they leave

Ok i will be curious how the the 27" fit. If you have a problem let me know. I also changed my u-bolts, that was the area i was worried was going to snap, the nuts were in bad shape. Almost all my bushings though the springs and rocker bars were destroyed, good luck

They are 26". Bought the wrong size. U bolts are crap. Nobody is open that has those either. Great project. Should be done by fall

Should have listened to the ppl at pacific trailer but they wanted $45 shipping per leaf. Lol. I'll return the leafs and get the right size tomorrow. At least I'm still good for now. Just trying g to replace before anything goes wrong in the future. Probably my last season on these axles too

I spent about 250 plus free shipping to do all my leaf springs. What size is you spring. Is the 27 " wrong. My springs with boat on trailer measured 26 3/8. I ended up going with a 25 1/4 inch spring and and a 7 3/4 rocker bar part was EQ-E1 rocker bar. This rocker bar was needed due to shorter spring, all of this fit together perfectly. Plus I needed (14) 3" 9/16 bolts.
My u- bolts were 2" x 5 1/4 long. I used my original backing plates , just cleaned them up and sprayed them with galvanized coating spray. Spring are 1750 lb each, making my 3500 lb axle.

My brakes came in from pacific trailer a week late and instead of calipers and rotors they sent me one caliper for $407. Not happy.

If I didn't have half the parts here I would. They acted like they were doing me a favor mailing me the rest of the parts without charging me shipping AGAIN.

If you're in a bind for the brakes, check out my post! You can get them at the auto parts store. I already put the link with part numbers in this thread. Good luck!

Hey, I know this thread is a bit old, but I'm working on my trailer suspension now. My question is, when you went with the 25 1/4 spring and the 7 3/4 rocker, did any of your tires get closer or rub against the fender?
