Expert Answers about Cruiser RV Trailer Suspension Parts


  • Recommended Axle-Less Suspension System for M1101 Military Trailer
  • The only axle-less suspension solutions we offer are from Timbren, the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # ASR35HDS02 for example is a very popular option. This system has a 3,500 lb capacity, built-in 4" lift for off-roading, and longer spindles for use with larger off-road tires. It can then be kitted out with brakes like the Dexter Nev-R-Adjust Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # 23-458-459 and hubs/drums like the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. I...

  • Way to Make Trailer Suspension Less Harsh on Dirt Road
  • A shock kit for your trailer suspension will help reduce the harshness in your trailer as you go down rougher roads. If you have a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle you would want the part # LC281255 or if you have 3 inch axles part # LC281281. What makes trailer suspension so harsh typically is the lack of dampening. The shock kit will slow the movement of the suspension down so that it smoothens it.

  • Can Brakes Be Added to the Timbren 800 Lb Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System
  • The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR1200S04 which has a 1,200 lb weight capacity is the smallest available option which has the ability to add brakes, the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-35-SA and Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly part # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR400S02 does not have a brake mounting flange so brakes cannot be added. That said, for such a small trailer they would not really be required if you...

  • Upgrading Keystone Premiere Trailer to Independent Suspension with Disc Brakes
  • Yes, it's possible to upgrade the suspension on this trailer for one with independent movements, an upgraded capacity, and disc brakes. That said, it won't be cheap and it won't be easy. However, if you have the funds and are willing to take on the task I have attached all of the parts you will need below for this. Timbren Axle-Less Suspension part # ASR5200S01 Kodiak Disc Brakes part # KOD69FR Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # HBA16-252-82 The Timbren system will...

  • Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System that Could Fit Tandem Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles
  • For a tandem axle trailer the Timbren suspension kit part # TTRA1702 would be a great option to provide additional suspension support. It can provide up to 1,000 lbs of additional support per axle. Since you have a tandem setup you'd need two of these. This will get rid of suspension sag when your trailer is loaded which would raise it up in a sense, but it is not actually a lift kit. For an actual lift kit you'd want the part # RR23QX instead.

  • How To Help Smooth the Ride of a Lightweight Boat Trailer
  • I do have an option for you but the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers part # TTRA1702 is not going to soften your ride. It would most likely do just the opposite of that. The only option we really have for you to soften your suspension would be to replace it with one of the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems like part # A20RS545. The Axle-Less system uses a progressive-rate spring to help absorb road shock and provide a smoother ride. Unfortunately,...

  • How To Choose the Correct Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers
  • I don't have any information as to what leaf springs are on any one particular trailer such as a 2007 Jayco Jay Flight 29BHS but if they are double eye leaf springs which are the most common then we should have a Dexter Heavy-Duty Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers that will work. In order to choose the correct one you just need to make note of the equalizer dimensions; part # K71-449-00 for 7-3/4" long, part # K71-448-00 for 6" long, or part # K71-359-00 for 5-3/4" long.

  • Suspension Upgrade for Torsion Axles
  • I do have an option for you but the Lippert Components Center Point by Trailair Air-Ride Suspension Upgrade part # LC1565401 is for leaf spring axles only and cannot be used with a torsion axle setup. If you are experiencing a rough ride then most likely the rubber inside your torsion axle has become worn and it will need to be replaced. This would be a good time to upgrade to an axle-less system as well, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System. The Axle-Less Trailer Suspension...

  • Do Timbren and SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement Kits Lift Suspension of 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • The suspension enhancement kits we offer for your 2011 Toyota Sienna like the Timbren part # TTORSEN04 and the SumoSprings # CSS-1195R (as well as the other options) are not designed to give your vehicle a suspension lift. They will greatly reduce sag when the vehicle has the weight of a trailer on it, but they will not lift the suspension as it sits without a load on it.

  • Recommendation For Axle-Less Suspension System And Electric Brakes
  • The axle-less trailer suspension system I recommend is the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System w Electric Brake Hubs, part # A35RS545E. This system has a 3,500 lb weight capacity, has 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern on the electric brake hubs. This comes with the bearings, seals, and races, and has EZ Lube spindles, making it easier to keep the system lubed up. The brakes I recommend for this system is the Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly, part # AKEBRK-35R-SA for the right hand,...

  • Could Horse Trailer Suspension Be Made to Be Less Bouncy
  • You could add a shock kit to your trailer to help soften the trailer suspension movement. It will get rid of the bounce since it slows down the up and down movement of the trailer's suspension. For that we have the part # LC281255 for if you have a 2-3/8 inch diameter axle or the part # LC281281 for if they are 3 inch in diameter. I would recommend checking the condition of the suspension too while you are under the trailer getting the axle diameter.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Suspension Enhancements for a 1992 GMC C/K Series Pickup
  • It sounds like you're looking for a trailer hitch and suspension enhancements for a 1992 GMC C/K Series Pickup. If that is the case we have some great options. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C14081 for a trailer hitch. It's a bolt-on option rated up to 10,000 lbs. Then for suspension enhancements, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRCK25 which will help level the truck when towing a heavy trailer.

  • How To Determine If You Need Weight Distribution Or Rear Suspension Enhancements
  • I will say that although suspension enhancements are the best option to enhance/increase your suspension's effectiveness and wear life, if you are in any way looking to level the load of a trailer and/or reduce trailer sway, the best option would be to use a weight distribution. The use of a weight distribution system is recommended if your gross trailer weight (GTW) is more than 50% of your vehicle's gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR). In order to choose the correct weight distribution...

  • Recommended Trailer Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailer Used Daily
  • For cost to stay down, I recommend the Axle-Less Suspension kit like # A35RS545E for a tandem axle application. These come in various weight capacities and use Aeon Rubber springs for suspension instead of the leaf springs or rubber cords in a torsion system. These come with EZ-Lube Spindles for easy maintenance, but other than the bearing maintenance and brake maintenance, the system is maintenance free. You won't need to worry about the suspension and it will ride much quieter. If...

  • Can Brakes Be Added to the 2K Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System

  • Comparing Cushioned Trailer Equalizers for Jayco White Hawk Travel Trailer
  • There are several cushioned trailer equalizer options on the market, you can pick hairs with each but for the most part, they are all pretty similar. That said, I tend to side with the Dexter E-Z Flex Suspension Kit part # K71-652-00 for a 33' axle spread or part # K71-653-00 for a 35" axle spread. The reason being that they have a longer warranty than the others (5 years) and they already come with new wet bolts and heavy duty shackles.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2010 Ford F-150 Towing Travel Trailer
  • When reading the description of the issues you you are experiencing and not noticing the part number you mentioned the first product I wanted to recommend was a RoadActive Suspension like the part # RAS3611-Y which is a fit for your 2010 Ford F-150. It is going to greatly help reduce the rear suspension sag and will also help brace the suspension in a way that it will feel much more stable from left to right. Similar to a sway bar. There are different settings you can use that can raise...

  • Does 2008 Toyota Sequoia Need Suspension Support When Towing Trailer
  • The suspension of your 2008 Toyota Sequoia is soft enough that you'll experience some sag as you are towing the trailer you mentioned. Suspension enhancement like the Timbren kit part # TTORSEQ1 would be a really great idea to reduce this and give you a more stable towing experience so I would recommend it for you.

  • Will the Timbren SES TDR1500DQ Fit a 2019 Ram 1500 with Factory Air Suspension
  • I do have an option for you but the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TDR1500DQ will not fit a 2019 Ram 1500 Limited with the factory air suspension. Unfortunately, we do not currently offer any suspension enhancements for a Ram with factory air suspension. Therefore, the best option we have for you if you need additional support would be with a weight distribution system. In fact, even if you do not need a weight distribution system to reduce sag I would still recommend...
