Is the Stainless version disk brake worth the extra money? Looking forward to this project.

On the back side of each axle is stamped the capacity, part number as well as manufacturer. It ome time there was probably a sticker as well. They are probably the Dexter Divixion of LCI industries if a newer Montana. Older ones conceivably even be AL-KO though doubtful.
Most newer Montanas have 7000 pound axles while some of the earlier ones, depending on model may have 5200, 6000 or 7000 pound axles. A Montana High Country - now that's a crap shoot and another story as ours was shipped with 5200 pound axles under a 38 foot fiver that weighs North of 12K pounds though they are now upgraded to 6000.
