Titan Disc Brake Conversion

Well, I am pulling the trigger. The kit is costing me $1640, and installation $500. I have chronic back pain, so just don't want to be crawling around. Now maybe I can convince my wife to drive some while towing. LOL

Please let us know how the installation goes and your driving experience with them installed. Sometimes it is better to spend some extra money on installations especially if you have health issues.

I have yet to hear anyone say they didn't like the Disc after having Drums.
We did the upgrade on our Montana and after swore I would never have another unit without Disc,
so they were Factory ordered on the next two units.
I still swear that with Disc on the trailer, the whole setup stops better that the TV solo.

Best mod for safety out there. I do agree that my rig stops quicker while towing 16,200 pounds than when running empty.Those brakes will shut you down.
