Brake Line Placement for TT Disc Brakes

. . . For jacking - I drop the front legs as far as possible then crib up to the frame behind the axle and as close to the spring hangers as possible using mostly 4x4 by 16" long. This gives me 6 lengths per 8 foot long board. I then raise the landing gear far enough to get the wheels of the ground, add a pair of 6 ton/pair stationary jacks along with the LG. I wont jack anywhere on the axle except under the spring hanger - that 3" tubing is just too fragile. As it stands now, the two longer flex lines may be too short for mine without a standoff from the belly. We'll see in about 4 months or when the predicted snows are gone

Amazing that Kodiak admitted to potential spongy brakes. If I wanted crappy brakes - the trailer already has them and I don't need to spend 12-1400 bucks for discs

Great idea using the front landing gear to leverage the rear of the 5r. Not sure if my 5r's single landing gear motor would have the cajones to do a lift like that. Pin weight is about 2,800 lbs. and it struggles a bit with that. The landing gear has 4 zerk fittings that I've greased the hell out of. That helped, but it still struggles.

Ref Kodiak disc brakes and the use of flexible brake lines, the rep did make it clear you will get full braking force regardless of the run length; however, there may be a slight delay to allow time for the pressure to build-up if your primary run of flexible brake line is longer than 20 ft.
