Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System such as the part # A35RD545 you referenced can be mounted to any trailer frame so long as there is an existing crossmember where you want to instal it, or you can install a piece of 2-inch square tubing to the frame and bolt it to that. So the short answer is yes, the Timbren system will work for you.
That said, the Timbren System # A35RD545 you referenced already has hubs so if you already have hubs you will need the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Drop Spindle Only - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S04 and make sure your current hubs have Inner Bearing # L68149 and Outer Bearing # L44649.
If they do not, what you can so is add this Timbren system along with a hub and rotor disc brake kit, the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit # K2HR35D.
I have added links to video reviews of the Timbren system as well as the Kodiak system for you to check out.
