Timbren Axle-Less System Compatible with 5 on 5 Inch Bolt Pattern

Question

Question:

I have searched through the comments and I am trying to determine which is the best axle-less system to get for a M101A3 military trailer. It currently has 37 tires. Empty weight is 1380, but with out the axel and tires It would be much less. I am pulling with a jeep and what off road tires either 35 or 37 to match with my 38inch 5x5 bolt pattern. I have 18inch rims with 35inch BFG K20 AT that I could use, if I find the right set up. I was looking at the 3500HD 4inch lift Timbren # ASR35HDS02. But I have seen that I may need to go with the 1 ton system instead to get the 5x5 pattern. I dont want to have electric brakes, I just want the hub assembly. I would like to be able to use the tires I have but if not please give me other suggestions. I am building for on and off road use. It has a rack with a RTT on it.

To get the 5 on 5 bolt pattern, you will need the Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 5 on 5 - Pre-Greased # 84550BX or the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb E-Z Lube Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 5 - Pre Greased # 84556UC3-EZ and brake assemblies # AKEBRK-35-SA. These options work with the Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Wide Tires - 2,000 lbs # ASR2KHDS03.

Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS02 will only work with 6 bolt or 8 bolt hubs.

You could install disc brakes on the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension #ASR5200S01. You would use one of the kits from the link I have included to the right. All of these kits have a 6 on 5-1/2 bolt pattern. The kits linked take the same inner bearing but…

Answer 2

The spindle diameter of the Timbren kit part #ASR35HDS02 where the seal rides is definitely 2.25 inch so to go with a disc brake setup for this setup will require a hub that has that size seal. That said, the Kodiak Disc brake kit part #K2HR526DKG…

Yes, it's possible to upgrade the suspension on this trailer for one with independent movements, an upgraded capacity, and disc brakes. That said, it won't be cheap and it won't be easy. However, if you have the funds and are willing to…

The reason your trailer is heavily leaning to one side is because of the way it's loaded. From the picture, it appears that you have much more equipment on the right side than you do the left side. This uneven loading has caused the leaf spring…

I would use a protractor, see photo, place the protractor on the edge of the inside of one side of the trailer frame and the other inside edge of the trailer frame should be parallel with the 50 degree line on the protractor. Another way to verify…

Answer 11

It sounds to me like your trailer uses a brake mounting flange like part #4-44-1. This has a bolt pattern of 5 on 3-7/8 inch and is used with 3 inch axles. If this is the case you could use 12 Inch Nev-R-Adjust Electric Brake Assembly for 6,000 LB…
