contact kodiaks tech services.<br /> I have seen the stainless disc set up on light loads with surge brakes with no problems. the electric acuator has a tendancy to lock the trailer wheels in certain situations. best will be to call the manufacrer of the braking system and tell them what the trailer is and ask for a reccomendation on actuators and brakes assy.

If you ever plan to drop your rig in salt water get the disc brakes. Mine were made by Tie Down Engineering in Atlanta.
