Thanks

I want to give a big thank you to those who advised me to convert to IS!

One of the best mods we've done.

IS and Disk brakes was the best thing we did.

Can you elaborate on the benefits of both IS and Disk brakes. I Am considering doing the disk brakes at some point but am fuzzy on the benefits of IS

On the IS the unit rides smoother. When I go over a railroad track you feel it in the truck but when the trailer goes over it I don't feel anything. With Disk brakes you now feel the trailer stopping the truck. However it is very smooth.

We have had the IS on both Montana's. Big improvement as you now know.
IMO it greatly relieves the stress on the frame and removes the OEM suspension which has been a source of many failures.
