My first post. We've been researching and shopping with eye toward Teton and their kin at the upper quality end. Someone pointed me to Heartland and I took half a day checking things out, making a few calls, and have scheduled to head to Denver for the nearest dealer tomorrow.
Here's the biggest hiccup and maybe one of you can put me at ease or refer me to an engineering based source. The brakes. 2" drum pads seem REALLY small compared to the 3 to 3 3/4 I've seen on two and three axel rigs. My mentor tells me this is the single most important running and safety matter with the 5er and is the most overlooked. I need all the help I can get to tame 16,000 pounds of cranky momentum. Any info? Any comfort? Any perspective on this one? (I will haul with a dually).
