Recommended Axle To Use Off-Road Jeep Wheels/Tire On Trailer

Question:

I am getting a custom built off-road trailer and would like to be able to put the same tires and wheels that are on my Jeep. So still 5x5 bolt pattern and the tires are BFG km3’s 35x12.5R17 and the rims are fuel hostage rims with a -12 offset and 4.5 backspacing and 87.10 bore size. What kind of axle less setup would I need? Also the trailer would only be about 1,500 lbs maybe 1,900 loaded down.

I have the perfect axle and hub setup for you to use off-road wheel and tires on a trailer, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # ASR1THDS03 with the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # AKIHUB-550-35-EZ-K. This setup has an integrated lift which you'll want if taking the trailer off-road, an extended spindle arm so you can clear larger tires, and it will come with hubs which have the 5 on 5" bolt pattern. The only advice I have would be to mount the axle and wheels/tires before making the fenders.
