I have a dual axle MFI bass boat trailer - leaf springs, no shocks.

The brakes are now on the rear axle. A caliper worked loose and came off, bending the corner of the mounting flange. The front axle has mounting flanges, so I have the option of putting the brakes on the front axle or switching the axles.

Would the brakes be as effective mounted on the front axle, or do I really need to switch them?

Thanks,

Frank
