Even if you do not mount them immediately order the axle with the brake backing plates, brakes, it is better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them and with a 5X10 you will need them.

...I couldn't agree more with this statement!!!!!!!

...also, for a #9 Dexter, I order them with a 1500# rating, figuring on a 1-1250 load...this will give you a little "wiggle" factor in your loading and I have found this weight rating to ride as smooth as butter with minimal impact to the gear in my trailer.............
