We do have an option with the Timbren Axle-Less system to replace your Lippert 5,000 lb axle, and going with this system is a smart choice because they offer you an improved ride compared to a traditional through-axle.

The reason for that is because the Timbrens work independently and have progressive springs that absorb shock better than a traditional axle. I do recommend getting a system with lift to improve the overall ride height, and I'll also add the hub and drum you need with this system:

- 4" Lift: Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # TASR5200S03

- Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ

I have added links below to a couple video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
