This close to getting her wet...

mj,
Some say the front and some say the rear. I'd go with the rear and here is why. If you look at how the springs are hung you can see that if the front axle only had brakes then when they are applied it's going to transfer the force thru the equalizer and tend to unload the front wheels and put more pressure on the rear. I read that you may even experience wheel hop on the front axle. On the other hand rear brakes will tend twist the equalizer down in the back and thru the pivot lift the front spring and unload the front wheel causing the rear to bear more weight and thus greater traction. But I guess it's all moot since I did all four corners anyway.

Shawsee,
I went with SS calipers and S-Cad discs/hubs, TieDown 6600 actuator and soleniod reverse lockout. Figure around $260 for the brakes, $130 for the actuator, $50 for the solenoid and $80 for lines.

I got them New England Marine Industries. They are on Rt. 12 in Oxford Mass. They have a website:

They have a funky pricing policy that I think is to prevent them from competing directly with their local dealers. If you are in New England then you don't get a discount but if you register on their site with an address outside N.E. you will then get 25% off most items. You can still pick up at the store. I was back there a few times for some oddball hardware for my Load Rite trailer that I couldn't find anywhere online and honestly I didn't mind paying their asking price because of the convenience.

We is practically next door neighboors! I'm in Rochdale (Leicester). I have a niece in Woodstock and funny but you're the second guy in a week from Woodstock CT that I've met online that's looking to go fishing. Sounds good to me! Once I get my rig checked out let's try to put something together. Maybe even a N.E. raft up?
