Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # TASR7KS02 is a great option for your custom trailer. This system is much easier to install than standard trailer axle/suspensions and there is virtually no maintenance for the suspension.
The correct hub that will fit this is the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 42866UC3-EZ. If you let me know what kind of brakes you are wanting (electric, hydraulic, or electric-over-hydraulic) I will be more than happy to help you find the correct parts.
The deciding factor when it comes to speed ratings has to do more with the tire that you choose for your trailer as opposed to the axle. For instance; the ST235/80R16 Castle Rock # LHACK133, which has a load range of E (3,520 lbs at 80 psi), has a max speed rating of L which is 75 mph. You will just need to make sure that whatever tire you choose has the proper speed rating and will fit your trailer properly.
I have attached some reviews for you to check out as well.
