Can Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Work With Regular Tires

Question

Question:

My of road trailer is similar to the other question. Weighs about 1500 lbs. however I have regular trailer tires. The trailer does see some off road use. Would you recommend the off road model or the standard one A35RS545 thanks!

Even though the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, part # ASR35HDS01 says it is for off-road tires(they are usually wider), it will still perform extremely well with regular tires as well.

This system is designed with EZ-Lube spindles and has a weight capacity of 3,500-lbs. It does not come with hubs so if you need an idler hub that will work I recommend part # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K.

If you are interested in a hub and drum that you can use with brakes I recommend part # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K. The electric self-adjusting brakes I recommend are part # AKEBRK-35R-SA.
