I was wondering how hard and costly it was to convert from surge to the elec/hyd brake setup. I seem to always fight trailers that have surge brakes. Please advise Thanks

The conversion was very simple and took us about a day to do it.
Removed the drum brakes and cleaned up the spindles for the new bearings. I bought 12'' disc brakes for all three axles and hose kits with battery box and BrakeRite pump for $1800.00, was the best money I have spent. Will never own another trailer with out them now.
