... However, our disc brake install was only about $1,400 along with the MOR/ryde IS installation.

Best modification that we've done to our Momentum 376TH. It's a piece of mind that when you hit the brakes you know the trailer is going to slow itself down and not have to rely on the truck to stop the trailer. On my triple axle with Performance Trailer Braking doing the work, I believe it was $3,400 but Lippert reimbursed me the full amount.
SOLD my 2017 Momentum 376TH being pulled by a 2014 Ford F-350 Lariat, FX-4, Crew Cab, Longbed, Dually. Not pulling the 5er, catch me on my 2013 CVO Harley Ultra Classic.
Map = states that we've stayed at least one night in our RV.

Similar to SC Rob, the hardware for my Disc Brake upgrade was only about $1500. I did my own installation.
JCZ got a fantastic deal with LCI covering his entire upgrade cost. I have not heard of anyone else receiving this. For most of us who upgraded to disc brakes as part of the LCI "greased brakes recovery program" (my name for it), LCI was willing to reimburse the value of four new electric brake backing plate and shoe assemblies. A few hundred dollars. You had to verify greased LCI brakes, with appropriate build date info and photos.

As with the others, my cost was less as part of the Mor/Ryde IS install.

I created this poll. I set the $2000-$3000 price based on my experience. It cost me about $2000 for disc installation for two axles (4 wheels). The break down was about $1400 for parts delivered and $600 for local trailer shop installation labor.

Haven't done it yet - but it's absolutely going to happen. Can't take my answer back. So take one away from "Absolutely without a doubt" for now.

We did a disc brake upgrade this April in Norman, Ok. As we were passing through. Performance Trailer Braking. I don’t have the numbers with me but it was probably about 2000. Even my wife said we should have done it sooner. Now she’s asking when we are getting a MorRyde pin box [emoji16]
