Alright..... Update time. I just hooked up and towed one of my work trailers that weighs over 10K lbs around 30 miles or so. Not a long way, but the difference in that short distance is worth noting.
That being said, this is my opinion based on my real world experience. (Side note - Opinions are like buttholes, everyone has one and they all stink.)
After towing a short distance, it does seem to me that I'm stopping in a shorter distance with less effort. I haven't actually timed a stop or measured stopping distance, I'm strictly basing this off of experience. (Side note #2, I pull this trailer an average of 400 miles a week, so I'm pretty well tuned in to how my trailer feels with different loads, up and down hills, highway speeds, downshifting, exhaust brake, etc.)
Side note #3 - I also installed King Racing shocks with reservoirs with my brake upgrade, so those are definitely also contributing to the better feel. I might do a right up on them after putting a few miles on them, I haven't decided yet.
