When you say your brakes were pretty bad are you saying the brake material is gone and is now metal to metal or have they come apart and or full of grease and dust?
I had Dexter axles on my 2017 ultra lite 2604ws and two of the four self adjusting brakes failed during the first two years. I contacted Dexter and they sent me four complete brake assembly as well as one drum under warranty. The brake assembly were a new design and have worked well. Just got back from a 6000 mile trip out West in the mountains. If I was changing brakes on my $$ I would still buy the Dexter (US made) vs China from someone like E-trailer and for sure buy the assembly vs parts.
The old brakes had two springs holding the brakes against the top anchor pin and the new design only has one. Still plan on looking at brakes and repacking bearings every 12 to 18 months. Hope this helps.
