Question:
Hello, I have a boat trailer with a tie down engineering model lp70 brake actuator. Parts are getting expensive as I try to bandaid it each season... do you have a replacement or alternate actuator that you might recommend to work with the tde disk brakes? Im looking for something more heavy duty, and longer lasting. Thanks in advance for any help!

Hey Brad, to replace your Tie Down Engineering LP70 actuator, I recommend going with the Dexter DX7.5 Drop-N-Go Brake Actuator # 099-175-20. This actuator will fit on 3" wide channel tongues, will work with 2" balls, and has a 7,500 lb capacity.
