Yes, HamRad and Steve, you're both right. I had Mor-Ryde install disc brakes along with the independent suspension system while I was in Indiana in Sept/Oct. I love the brakes. In fact, they saved my truck brakes in November when descending into Death Valley from Beatty, NV on a downhill 8-9% grade. The truck brakes started to smoke. I stopped, let them cool off, turned up the brake controller to make the trailer brakes do more work, and had no more problems. If I'd anticipated the need for more trailer braking I could have avoided the smoking truck brakes by turning up the controller in advance. I've since had the truck brakes checked by a Dodge dealer and no harm was done. I don't have an engine brake and don't feel the need for one.
skypilot, Let me know if I can answer any specific questions.
