Check for posts by me. I did a trailer brake setup that works well.

Use a voltage converter to get 20 amps of 12 volt power. Power an electric brake controller with it and make sure you feed the brake controller a new 12 volt brake signal off of the air pack (use a Tee if you have to). Run your brake wires (signal and ground) back to your trailer and work up a new connector for just the brakes or as a secondary connector. There's more details, but search for those.
