The Tie Down Engineering (TDE) Brake Actuator 48980 also known as the 80LP/85LP is a 8,000 lb or 8,500 lb disc brake actuator with 2" coupler. In order to replace this, the best option we have is the Demco Hydraulic Brake Actuator part # DM8669113 which is rated for use with disc brakes, has an 8,000 lb weight capacity, and uses a 2" hitch ball. It also has a built-in drop which helps you match the tow vehicle height better.
