• How to Get the Widest Spread Between Tandem Axles
• All of the full suspension kits we offer are going to give you U-Bolt distances between 29-1/2" and 34" but the real determining factor is with the length of your leaf springs, really. If you take a look at our Suspension Kit # APT5 it has both distances listed. If you're talking about a large equalizer then the largest we have is the Dexter Axle Curved Equalizer # K13-142-02. The best thing to do when replacing trailer suspension parts is to measure what you currently have and then replace...

• Will the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System Work On a Keystone Montana with 7K Axles
• The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # TASR7KS01 could be used to replace the axles and suspension on a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Trailer. However, this would require changing the entire geometry of the suspension which is a rather complex install. If you are up for the task and depending on what you are wanting an axle-less system for this could be a viable option. There won't be any issues as far as weight capacity goes if that is what you are asking. That said, if...

• Suspension Needed for a 1973 Trillium Travel Trailer
• Adding suspension to your trailer is definitely beneficial as it helps to reduce stress on the frame. The most common type of suspension system for a trailer is one that uses leaf springs. To install this you would need a hanger kit like part # APS4 and then leaf springs like part # e84SR which are used if you have an axle diameter of 1-3/4". We also carry the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems like part # A12RS440 which includes hubs that have a 4 on 4" bolt pattern. I like...

• Will Using Longer Shackle Straps On My Trailer Suspension Affect The Amount Of Travel?
• By using longer shackle straps it will have an affect on your suspension. For a tandem or triple axle trailer it will move the leaf spring closer to the frame and may cause the leaf spring to contact the frame as the suspension articulates. On a Single axle trailer the larger straps will change the amount of articulation that the spring has. This can have an adverse affect on the suspension components as they do not have a shock to dampen the suspension as it is traveling farther on...

• How to Use Jeep Wheels with a Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System
• I do have an option for you but we do not offer a trailer hub with 5 on 5" bolt pattern that will fit the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR35HDS02 or part # TASR5200S03. Instead, you will want to use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR3500S06 with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K as this will allow for the 4" lift with 5 on 5" bolt pattern.

• Suspension Upgrade For 2007 Keystone Everest 344J
• There are suspension upgrades available for the 2007 Keystone Everest 344J but they are not designed to raise your carrying capacity of the fifth wheel trailer. The carrying capacity of your trailer is set by the manufacturer and cannot be changed. Suspension enhancement is designed to support the existing suspension on the trailer to prevent sagging, improve ride quality, and prolong the life of your suspension components. The carrying capacity I was able to find on line for the Keystone...

• Correct Timbren Silent Ride Suspension System for a T@B Tear Trailer
• According to my research, your T@B trailer has torsion axles which means the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension System like part # TSR3500S05 will not be a good fit for you. Instead, you will want to use the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR35HDS02. This kit will replace the torsion axles you have now and provide up to a 4" lift and the ability to run larger off-road tires. For a compatible hub you will also need the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 42865-KIT.

• Recommendation of Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System for a 3,000-Lb Utility Trailer
• I would recommend to use the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System , part # TTRA1032, on your 3,000-lb utility trailer. This enhancement system is for medium-duty trailers. It has a weight capacity of 7,000 lbs. This does not mean that you will be able to carry more weight than what your trailer is rated for, but it will help reduce sag and sway when you put the load of your equipment on the trailer. It is always better to have more weight capacity than not enough weight capacity....

• Which EZ Flex Trailer Suspension Kit Fits a Triple Axle Trailer
• The E-Z Flex Heavy Duty Rubber Suspension System # K71-652-00 is designed for a tandem axle trailer. For a triple axle trailer you will need either # K71-657-00 with 7-3/4 inch long equalizers or # K71-656-00 with 5-5/8 inch equalizers. You would not use just one set on one axle of a triple axle trailer because it would create a poor ride on the trailer and could increase the stress on the other suspension parts. In your picture it appears that one of the equalizers is different causing...

• Will Timbren Kit for Trailer Suspension Work Like Air Ride
• The Timbren kit part # TTRA5602 that you referenced is designed to give additional support to trailer suspension but it would not perform anything like air ride suspension. If anything it might make the ride quality a bit harsher since the suspension would be stiffer. This kit would be if you were hauling heavy and near the capacity of your trailer and wanted more support.

• Will EZ Jack Work With Mor/Ryde Suspension On Tandem Trailer
• The Blaylock EZ Jack and Wheel Chock, part # EZ-JACK, should have no problem working with your tandem trailer suspension. Unless your suspension works differently than the standard equalizer suspension, you should be able to use the # EZ-JACK for a wheel chock or level as it is intended to be used. This unit weighs just 11 lbs and has a weight capacity of 20,000 lbs. I have attached a product review video you can check out.
