Yes, my override or surge brakes are hydraulic - in the 1st pic I posted, you can just make out a Hilux spinle and stone guard. I pressed then welded the spindes onto an axle I turned to suit, as it uses Hilux front disks/calipers, wheel bearings, seals, F/W hubs etc. The brakes are excellent, and the hitch incorperates a park brake.
May I strongly recomend you contact "Track" trailers in Melbourne, Australia(Google them)
They do an assimetric link suspension for superiour self steering, and in some of there military versions they use airbags,(and have done for many years). and in their cheeper models, coils(still with 10" of travel). Unfortunatly their website is not as good now as it once was, but they should be happy to e-mail you something.

I visited their factory a few years ago when I was thinking of building another trailer and can not recomend them and their advice highly enough!!!!!!!!

Regards
