Since I keep the original hub I still using the brakes but we chance and extend the tong of the trailer so we had to change the position and some pieces of the brake hardware in order to make it work.

Here are some pictures of what we did:

We also work on the lib, now is just ready to be paint it, we put in each side one Flexible T-Handle Draw Latch from Southco Inc. Model: SC-1753 to lock the lib and works great!!!

I originally bought two gas springs of 225lb but they are to strong since I am not using the roof tent at this moment so I have to order the same gas spring but 75lb each.

9416K23 Gas Spring with Threaded Ends 225 Force, 33.94" Extended Length, 16.14" Stroke
9416K79 10 mm Ball Socket, M8 Thread, Steel for Gas Spring with Threaded Ends
9512K95 Ball Mounting Hardware Zinc-Pltd-STL, 90 Deg Angle Inverted Ball Bracket
