toasted wheel bearing
Hello All -- On our last trip last fall we had a wheel bearing completely burn up on our raptor fiver. So bad that the entire axle, brake assembly and wheel hub will need to be replaced. Anyon...

My springs became weak and flat after a few years causing some alignment and tire issues. I replaced with higher rated springs and a dexter ezflex suspension kit with greasable bolts.

Everyone that has moved to disks seems to rave about the improvement.
Dexter has some retrofit kits but you can probably get an axle already equipped then retrofit the other axle. Cost of the controller is a bit extra. Also look on etrailer to see more options. It is a bit of a leap.
Thanks.... started reading up on the disc brakes... they sound awesome - considering i have a tri axle it would probably run close to $2000. i'm all for safer stopping though especially since wife and kid are always in the truck when the fiver is in tow.... thanks for the sugestions
