Default Electric / hydraulic actuator, which is the best!

My current tri axle trailer has hydraulic surge. I want to upgrade to an electric/hydraulic actuator, which ones are you guys running and what are the pro's and con's?

BrakeRite (top one) is ships on almost all of the Mycos. I have it on my Myco & it's the chit!

You will need a controller in the truck next unless you have the Ford with the integrated factory system. See my other thread on brake controllers a few months back.

My Magnum tri-axle came with the brake-rite system and disc brakes. Works like a charm.

Thanks Guys! Thats what I was looking for!

One thing though, I am guessing I need to know the weight of the trailer and boat before I buy the unit correct?

Didn't know there was a weight requirement, just disc or drum application. I think the basic unit is good for 3 axles. Possibly a larger unit for more axles?
