Upgrading from a 3,500 Lb to a 5,200 Lb Axle On a Trailer with 80-1/2 Inch Hub Face Length
Question:
I wonder if the axle less suspension would work on my existing hub and brakes?
asked by: Clarence W
Helpful Expert Reply:
The spring center and hub face measurements that you have are more synonymous of a 3,500 lb weight capacity which is why you are having a hard time trying to find an axle with 5,200 lb weight capacity. That said, I do have an option for you in the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension part # ASR5200S01 which has a 5,200 lb weight capacity and you don't need to worry about matching the spring center or hub face measurements of your existing axle. This option also has a unique rebound spring which works to improve your unloaded ride quality which can be an issue with leaf spring suspension systems.
