disk brakes / axle questions
We have not been able to use our 2019 2500RL as much as we like due to some health issues. We hope that will change this year.
1- We made a trip to the Keys and back, 2000 miles and no axle issues. I keep reading about axle issues with some GD models. Have there been issues with the 2500rl?
2-WE are close to Myrtle Beach and I know there are a lot of RV owners there. We are thinking about going with a disk brake conversion. Has anyone had this done in the NE area of SC or SE NC? Price? Trying to find a reliable shop to do this at a reasonable price.

I think the issues have not so much been with axles, per se, but rather with the spring hangers. If you use the search function and search using "spring hanger" or just "hanger," you will find numerous threads on the topic.
On brakes, this company has a good reputation in the RV community:

They have very good prices on disc brake kits and, if you call them, might be able to steer you to an installer in your area.

I sent an email to Performance Trailer Braking asking them about a conversion for the Lippert 3500# axles I have. They replied they needed a pic of the axle tag to determine if their 3500# kit would work.
