I would consider the upgrade, but I fear having my unit sit all winter that the discs would need to be turned about every year due to massive corrosion during the winter. Probably an amazing upgrade for folks who winter in the south or full time though.

Unless you go out and throw some salt on them or run them on salted roads frequently, corrosion shouldn't be a problem. There will be some surface rust but that will disappear with the first usage. Simply sitting for the winter should cause no issues.

Our car sits more often than it gets driven, and has cast iron rotors. Corrosion is not an issue.

Exactly--- so when you park your car for a while do you tear the disc brakes off and put drum brakes on it then huh?????


I just did the install myself I got the parts from Ron and I have not pulled it yet --but I'm definitely looking for the difference in the breaking --stopping power !!!!

Ron was fantastic-- I did the install myself as said --any questions he was right there with the answer!!!!!!


As far as having mor-ryde do the install --disc brakes installed is about$ 3000 and the independent suspension install by mor-ryde is about $5000

I have taken a couple trucks down to the frame and rebuilt them --so I was pretty confident on the install .

The disc brakes for Ron to install that..... it's $1,000 for installation

Definetly way to go as far as I am concerned.
And he does have installers who travel around the country so if you buy a trailer that doesn't have the disc brakes Ron can set you up.

Minor fact check - - The MORryde IS is not $5,000.00 . . For the 8k it is $3700.00

I got my kit from Ron and could not hook up with his installers so I had a local Amish shed trailer weld shop do my install... Ron sent a rep from Titan Brake to the shop for the day to oversee the install. IS AND Discs are a great pair !
