Hi,
I have a 2009 Road King RKAV 18-20TB2 trailer, Tie Down torsion axles with 9.6" ventilated brakes. My brakes need major rework, so I'm considering upgrading to the Kodiak Dacromet/SS units. Other than the 4 wheel kits, is there anything else I need? My lines and actuator (TD Model 70) appear to be good.
Thanks!
Matt

It sounds like the trailer is already setup for disc brakes so if the actuator and lines are ok you should only need the brakes, brake fluid, and grease should complete the installation. Another good brake assembly available would be the TDE G5 brakes.

Thanks! After some additional thought I've opted to upgrade one axle and just run with brakes on one axle for a bit (it doesn't appear that NC requires brakes on both). Ordered a set last night, and I see you've already shipped them! Excellent service!
