Why Does the 3,500 Lb Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Use 6K Brakes
Question:
Im curious why you suggest using hubs and breaks for 6,000 # axles for these 3,500 # spindles?

Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension part # TASR35HDS07 is the Heavy-Duty version which uses upgraded hubs/brakes so although the weight capacity is 3,500 lbs, the system is designed to be used with 5,200 - 7,000 lb hubs/brakes. I recommend the etrailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA and etrailer Hub Kit part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K.
