I have a two axle trailer with brakes one axle, but they are hydralic brakes. I know that state laws differ, so can't offer advice there, but I thought I might mention the fact that trailers can have something other than electric brakes. Might want to check that out before assuming what you might need to add another set of brakes. By the way, I would much rather have the hydralic brakes over the electric. They are actuated by a master cylinder mounted into the tongue. The more pressure the trailer puts on the hitch point, the more braking power you get on the trailer. Don't have to worry about having an electric braking unit set up on the vehicle, it's all self contained at the trailer so it is ready to hook up to anything with a ball hitch. Have hauled up to ten ton on this trailer behind a 3/4 ton truck and had no trouble getting stopped! Just one of those FYI things.
