Another Disc Brake Conversion
After my electric drum brakes failed and actually fell apart for the 2nd time getting into Silverton, CO, I decided there had to be something better and I had better do it before we went off the side of a mountain! I pull a 38' 5th wheel double towing a small aluminum Titan trailer w/ my 50" RZR 900 with a 2001 F350 dully. I love to off road, but prefer it in my RZR!! My research led me to disc brakes and Zanetti Trailer in Weatherford, TX. I could not find a reputable disc brake installer in Tulsa, OK near where we live, so we made the 5 hour trip down to Weatherford. I am so glad we did...this shop is family owned and in addition to awesome customer service, is extremely knowledgable and experienced in disc brake conversions. We came down the night before, spent the night in their yard and were back on the road home by 3pm. My wife was impressed that two of the family "girls"(mom&daughter) did the install...said she would at least know it was done RIGHT!
Now for the disc brakes...what a difference. Truck and 5th wheel stop as one, no herky jerky and it stops faster and in control. Best money spent and we can hit the mountains with confidence now not dread. I'm a happy camper!
