Dexter axel brake up grade
We have a large teardrop trailer,(I know kind of an oxymoron), and the TV is a Subaru Outback 3.6L H6. The tear has 7" brakes on a Dexter axle. Dexter says there is no way to upgrade to 10" brakes. ...

Understood..
However, even with say a disc brake upgrade there IS a "point of no returns" on how much extra braking can be provided before tire lock up on the trailer becomes a greater problem..
That is true, but he's having overheating problems, and disc brakes are simply superior for heat rejection. I know the feeling well too because it only takes 1 hard stop from 70 MPH on a downhill (6-8%) to cause brake fade in my tailer.
