Thank you Larry !!

Could you please elaborate a bit more on the Lenzi rear disc brake system ??

I thought that it was on the forward rear wheels only - and that the rear rear wheels were non-braked (or maybe the parking brake).

Thanks,
Steve W
Steve,
It is on the forward rear wheels only. (second/midaxle) I maintained the rear drum brakes with a Sully system after installing the Lenzi big brakes and found that hard braking had the 3rd axle lock up quite easy leaving flat spots on the tires. Then switched to the Harrison 4bag which solved that issue. Between the Sully system and the 4bag system, I did disconnect the 3rd axle brakes for a short time, but felt that having 6wheel brakes was better than 4wheel brakes thus the switch to the Harrison 4bag. We had a car with trailer stop suddenly for a sudden left turn on a 2 lane highway just 2 days ago. Good brakes, no skidding. JWID
