Distance From Center Of Spindle To Bottom Of Trailer Frame On Timbren Axle-Less System
Question:
Whats the measurement From the bottom of the frame where this mounts to the center of the spindle? Trying to figure out the height to fit 16inch wheels and 35inch tires on my trailer. Need to know if I need to fab a spacer off the bottom of frame to gain the height I need. Thanks.

The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, part # ASR35HDS02 has a 3,500 lb weight capacity and designed to be used for 1-axle and 2-axle trailers.
Using an axle-less suspension increases ground clearance and will fit any trailer length. I have attached a drawing of this system and have the dimension noted you asked about. From the center of the spindle to the underside of the frame the system attaches to measures 7-1/2 inches. That is with no load placed on the system.
If you place a load of 3,500 lbs on the system which would include the weight of the trailer, there will be a 2-5/8 inch deflection. Add the bit of bounce you would get when traveling with this system may have a little more deflection as well.
If you need the trailer drum and hub as well I recommend the Dexter Hub And Drum, part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. This includes the bearings, races, seal, grease cap, wheel bolts and lug nuts. and has a drum that measures 12 inches diameter and 2 inches wide.
