Does anyone have any experience with the Safety hub and drum that Snyder sell ? Looks like you run lined shoes and an equalizer to get service brakes. Not cheap but I like the idea. I have Rocky Mountains on my pick up, pretty satisfied with them. I do not want the disks. It looks like it is possible to keep my Hassler shocks with these brakes unlike the Rocky Mountains.

Re: Safety Hub and Drum
What does this kit use fir brake shoes? I wouldn’t expect a stock lined shoe to give satisfactory service.

Re: Safety Hub and Drum
Seems with those drums only external shoes are fitted.
Prefer to stay with Ford drums with internal emergency brake shoes, and with added Rocky Mtn external , plus keeping trans brake band in place and connected, provides more complete stopping and parking means.

Re: Safety Hub and Drum
I had one of those equalizers on my car for a short while. Rocky Mountain brakes are better, but I think there was a little bit of benefit to that setup.
