The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Spindle w/ Brake Flange - Regular Tires - 7K # TASR7KS01 are the largest capacity axles we carry, but they can be used in tandem axle applications giving you a 14,000 lb total capacity. They cannot be used in triple axle applications, so that will be the max capacity we can offer.

The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension #TASR7KS01 does not specify any factor of safety. So the 7,000lb capacity rating is going to be the maximum load this should ever carry.

I don't recommend upgrading one axle at a time. The capacity differences are substantial, and you will be limited to the weakest component. So the axle, the springs, the equalizer, the brake assemblies, and the hub/drum assemblies would all need…

The only physical difference of a 5,200 lbs axle item #e63GR and a 6,000 lbs axle item #e73GR is in the custom bend in the axle. This bend creates the zero camber angle for even road to tread contact. Both axles are 3" in diameter so they have…

Answer 7

Trailer manufacturers don't usually keep a record of parts like these that they install at the factory, so I cannot be sure as to the exact length of the shackle strap that would have come originally on your trailer. With this in mind, a 3-1/8…

Answer 11

For the LCI52-SB-86.5-68.5, the two ending measurements are: 1st - measurement from hub to hub, meaning the length of the axle in this case is 86.5 inches. 2nd - spring seat dimension where they're welded, meaning the spring seats are 68.5 inches…

Answer 12

From what I could find it looks like your 122R (red) and 122Y (amber) lights measure 3.75" x 1.70" x .81". We don't have any replacement lense directly for the GLO-BRITE lights but we do have some similar lights that you could use…
