Default Turbo 4wd trans brake guys
Any 4x4 guys using a trans brake? Been thinking about getting one and a 2 step to help my 60ft issues. What kind of world of hurt am in in for drivetrain destruction?

You dont need one. Just get hydroboost. I have held 1100ftlbs on the foot brake with 05 fronts and suv rears in 4wd.

The 2 step will help consistency though.

Yeah, you don't absoultely need one. Doesn't mean a transbrake isn't better.
