This is just an alternate idea I went with when I was pondering installing disc brakes... I ordered 2 each Dexter 7000# brake assys 23-464 LH / 23/465 RH and put them on my 3150RL. The 7000# brake assys have a bit stronger magnet and more agressive shoe material and bolt right on. After about 50 miles of "burn in" there was a noticable difference in braking from the 6000# assys that I was never impressed with. I well agree disc brakes will always be superior to drum brakes, but this change pleases me and was about $1000 cheaper than going with disc. Before I get all the knee jerk warnings about putting 7000# brakes on 6000# axles ... I wonder how many disc brake conversions on 6000# axles are out there making their owners proud and happy???
