Don't even consider using drum brakes!
I changed out the drums for disc brakes and a new coupler in one day. When you are stopping you don't even know the trailer is there. Remember to put in the solenoid valve and wire it to the backup lights. Disc brakes was one of the best upgrades I've done. Do a search for disc brakes. I believe Captn Chuck has a few good words of wisdom on the install.
