What is the main difference between the K2R35DKG and the K2R35DS other than price?

Hello Eric,
The # K2R35DKG is Dacromet-coated, and the calipers are treated with KodaGuard. The # K2R35DS, on the other hand, is made entirely of stainless steel, hence the higher price. If you're in an area where road salt is common or if you're using these on a marine application like a boat trailer, I generally recommend spending a bit more on the # K2R35DS. Stainless steel offers much better long-term protection against corrosion.
What kind of trailer are you planning to install these on?
