Trailer brake kits

[CJ7Rob]

Anyone have any experience with these below? Decent price. Or can you recommend another that you have used? Looking to change out the brakes on my Loadrite dual axle trailer, thanks

I spent the money and switched over to Disc Brakes. easier to flush out and stop much better. I did need to change the master cyl to increase the tonge pressure. I went with Kodiak Cadmium.

Don't bother with drums they will not work for long .
The cheapest option in the long run are all stainless steel kits either Kodiak or Deemaxx. You will need 2 hubs as well. https://www.sturdybuiltonline.com/K...ake-Kit-ALL-STAINLESS-STEEL-5-Bolt_p_476.html
Only $200 more than drums and they will work for at least 5 years without maintenance other than replacing pads if you do a lot of miles.

Fresh water lakes, or saltwater? Go into your cp, and put your location in so that people will know what area you are in.

Like everyone is saying, if you are using the trailer in saltwater it will be much more efficient to just stuff that $500 down the garbage disposal. Then you can spend the time fishing .

Just a little sarcasm there to express my personal opinion, sorry couldn't resist. I tried that same thing a few years ago. I bought all new equipment, built in a custom internal spraying system for flushing and did so religiously. Here is what I had after two years. Good luck with your plan if you go ahead but just remember, everyone warned you.
