When the Timbren Axle Less system part # TASR7KS02 is installed the center of the spindle will be 3/8 inches above the bottom of the trailer frame when unloaded. At full deflection (compression of the systems rubber springs), it will end up sitting 2-1/2 inches lower that that as well.

So it would be then 2-7/8 inches above the trailer frame.

I attached a diagram that has all of the dimensions of this system as well.

In total you need enough capacity for around 12,000 pounds. Using tradition axles you can use 4,400 pound axles but those tend to be fairly expensive and replacement parts can be harder to find later. But the capacity of 3 of them would be 13,200…
