trailer surge brakes

[cunuck]

I have surge brakes on my trailer for my 2400 scr I think 7000gvw and here in canada 6200 is max gvw for surge so electric over hydraulic is the best answer.So I have bought a carlisle unit to convert the surge head I think the cost to change should be around 700 .I will post photos(in the new year) when done if anyone would like see .This will be a bolt on conversion so I can change back to surge if I sell the trailer

Yeah, I'm definitely interested how the swap goes. I too have a 2400 and wouldn't mind making the upgrade, especially an easy bolt on. Pics of your process would be much appreciated.

Thanks! :hello:

Agreed, while not needed I just bought a new diesel excursion with a brake controller and would like to change 'Victors Valiant' carrier over to this sytem. Where do you purchase the unit?

The unit I have is carlisle for drum brakes they have units for disc. as well also brakerite has units for drum and disc.I got mine from tuff trailers they sell both type around $ 600 us .I will post some photos when done next week it will be a bolt on so I can change back if I sell the trailer .

I have some pic but don't know how to up load email me if you want them mark9@shaw.ca I also added 10 inches to the length of the reach I did weld the side plates on but you could bolt them on grade 8 bolts.the cover is just to protect from damage and I can stand on it if I need to .the tube is 3x5x.188 wall side plates are 1/4 inch welded with 7018 electrode .It should work like a dream.the last pic is first
