I put Tie Downs on all 4 of mine and have REGRETTED it ever since...just say no to Tie Down and get the Kodiaks...Tie Downs are MICKEY MOUSE brakes...they happen to make a good actuator, the 6000, but their disc brakes SUCK OUT LOUD...

Reel, what was the problem with them?
The aluminum caliper seems to be the only negetive part of the system.

That caliper is about the only thing that's held up...pads don't drift away from rotors as they should...can hear them from inside the truck (windows down)...wear and drag...pistons hang up, boots shot...trust me...just go Kodiak and avoids probs...even when they're workin' right, they don't seem to have a lot of braking power...
