If your boat trailer is making a continuous popping noise that seems to be coming from the suspension then it really could be anything involved in your suspension.
The best way to find out what is the culprit is to simply do an inspection of your trailer suspension. Parts could be binding or they could be old or worn and in need of replacement. If everything seems to be in good working order it may be worth jacking your trailer up and taking the suspension apart so that you can check... view full answer...
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.

In order to determine the correct replacement shackle links for your Keystone 5th Wheel Trailer, you will want to measure both the length and hole diameter on your existing parts. Unfortunately, trailer manufacturers do not typically keep record of smaller parts like suspension components that were installed at the factory. Finding a replacement that matches the dimensions on your current shackle is the best and most accurate method.

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.

Yes, the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Single Axle Trailers part # TSR3500S05 can be used in tandem as confirmed by Timbren.

In regards to weight capacity, this will not be limited so (3,500 lbs x 2) as confirmed by Timbren. view full answer...
The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems is available with a 7,000 lb rating, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # TASR7KS01.

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. view full answer...
I spoke with my contact at Timbren and he said on the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, part # A4RS440, that it has 1-inch of deflection or suspension travel. See attached photo.
He also said to remember that unlike leaf spring suspensions, the Axle-Less suspension units operate independently of one another, so each spring only activates when needed. view full answer...
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... view full answer...

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... view full answer...
Yes, you can still use the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System like part # ASR35HDS01 without brakes and just hubs. The Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-231-9UC1-EZ for 8 lug or the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-655-6-EZ-K for 6 lug will both work great. view full answer...
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... view full answer...
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.

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... view full answer...
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.

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. view full answer...
It sounds like you have this hanger kit # AP233-H248 installed on your trailer, which has the hangers spaced out by 29-1/2" on center. We don't have the exact specs from trailers that have been made over the years so you'll want to confirm this on your end of things.
If this is true then it means you need the following parts to replace your suspension:
- Suspension Kit for Tandem-Axle Trailers # AP233
- 4-Leaf Double-Eye Spring for 3,500-lb Trailer Axles # e54SR
This gives you replacement... view full answer...
