Is the Timbren TSR10KT02 Compatible with a Gooseneck Trailer with Tandem Dexter 3.5K Trailer Axles
Question:
Hi, I am looking at a used 40 foot gooseneck Take 3 trailer with the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam with EZ-Lube Spindles - 89 inch Long - 3,500 lbs. Can this trailer be upgraded to the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3 inch Round Axles - 10,000 lbs Item # TSR10KT02 ? Thank you!

Expert Reply:
As long as your trailer meets the specifications of the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension # TSR10KT02 than you can most certainly use it on your trailer!
Timbren Silent Ride Suspension work with tandem axle trailers that have 3" round axles and do not exceed a GVWR of 10,000 lbs. It is a bolt-on installation that includes some drilling and welding as well. To install it requires a 2" x 4" hollow steel crossmember that has a 1/4" wall thickness. Keep in mind that this will not increase the weight capacity of your trailer unless your current suspension system is rated under 10,000 lbs. You can only carry as much weight as the weakest component on your trailer will allow.
From the information that you provided it looks like you just need to make sure that you have the hollow steel crossmember and you are good to go. You can use the attached diagram to help you determine the best place on your trailer for installation.
