Are disc brakes worth the money

[pat 70/71]

I would recommend you save the money and purchase a disc brake/ booster kit for the front of your truck. That way your truck will stop when you really need it to! Nothing wrong with drum brakes on trailer queens. But if you drive it don't risk the odd chance of someone pulling in front of you and you not being able to stop. I had a 70 1/2 ton, drums all around/ no booster, pulling my boat going down hill and a guy pulled in front of me and I had plenty of time to react but I hit the brakes and they were all in a done with in seconds! I didn't hit the guy but it was toooo close! Don't let this happen to you my friend. cheers Pat
