Dave, I recently replaced the axles and brakes on my 1999 Champion 42' trailer. I replaced the Dexter 6000# 8 lug axles and brakes with Dexter 7000# 8 lug axles and brakes. The 6000# and the 7000# brakes are the same 12"x2" pads. I was told the only difference is the strength of the magnet. My 6000# brakes had white wires and the new 7000# brakes have black wires. The axles are also identical except for the wall thickness of the tube itself. I purchased everything from TAP, Trailer Axle Parts of Houston. Dallas Axle is also the same company. They had the best prices I could find. Hope this helps.
