Don't " THINK" discs may not be worth it. You never drove a fiver with them have you? I can lock 4 wheels right now. No drum brake is half as good. Why do they put discs on all cars? They don"t do it because they cost less, they do it to stop in an emergency> Only Rv manufactuers do it to save money. And, if a wheel seal leaks, like one of mine did they don;t throw grease all over the drum. It appears that the grease that leaked flew straight away and never came near the rotors. Can't say that for drums. And NO adjustments ever. Spend the money for disc brakes. You will never by sorry.

I'd like to thank everyone for their input and suggestions. I have a scheduled date in early June to have the system installed. Looking forward to testing the results.

Just thought I would say a few words. We had our IS System installed (8,000 lb. axles) in June of 2011 and like everyone else -- it is absolutely fantastic. We also had the disc brakes installed.
As we were leaving I found out the also install BIGFOOT LEVELERS. We got those put on in November 2011. Got the latest edition with the Key Fob. Cool
MorRyde has the best customer service you will ever fine. Ben is just fantastic.
Enjoy the install. You won't believe it.

Ford Truck Guy,
The system installed was $4700 and that was with the new wireless panel upgrade and the key fob. Our system was for a 40 ft. 5th wheel so it had (4) 17,000 lb. cylinders.
If I had known when I had the IS System and the disc brakes installed I could probably have negotiated a better deal.
They are well worth it. No more tripod in the front and very little movement.
Enjoy.

I have it and would not have a 5er with out it one other plus is it is very easy to get the axles aligned, great for the tires and improved fuel milage.

Mor-Rydes came on my camper 2011 Eagle. The ride is so much smoother.It even seems to help with the chucking a little bit.
