Timbren axle-less trailer suspension # TASR5200S03 is rated for 5200-lb applications, has 4-inch lift spindles and includes brake flanges. With this kit you can use 8-on-6-1/2 bolt pattern hub/drums that use inner bearing # 25580 and outer bearing # 15123 or # LM67048.

You can use galvanized hub/drum # 8-219-50. For electric brakes you can use left- and right-hand kit # AKEBRK-7-SA which are self-adjusting and that work with 14-1/2, 15, 16, and 16-1/2-inch wheel diameters.

Some trailers may require reinforcement to use the Timbren system. If your trailer does not have a cross member above the spot where you want to install the Timbren system, you may need to reinforce the frame. You can accomplish this three ways. First, you can retrofit the trailer with a cross member. Second, you can build out the trailer frame. Third, you can use 2" x 3" steel tubing to connect the 2 Timbren suspensions together using the built-in hole on each unit.
