Yes. The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 2" Lift Spindle - Standard Tires - 3,500 lbs # TASR35HDS07 has a nice powder coated finish on it, so it can be used on a boat trailer. Because this is a boat trailer I do recommend that your trailer has a cross-beam where the axle is being installed that can be used for structural support since you'll be removing the axle with this installation.

This system does not come with hubs or brakes, so if you also need a hub with a # 25580 inner bearing and # 15123 outer bearing, the etrailer Galvanized Hub Kit part # AKHD-655-6-G-EZ-K is a confirmed fit on the spindles. For brakes you can use the etrailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-D, which are a nice dacromet plated brake set that will help fight corrosion that might occur on a boat trailer brake assembly.

I've linked some review videos of these parts for you to check out, as well.

I have a few options for you to help with identifying the hubs on your trailer. The first and easiest method would be to crawl under the trailer and look for the axle tag on the beam. This should give an axle capacity which we can then use to find…

Answer 6

An axle with a 3 inch diameter axle tube typically has a 5200, 6000 or 7000 lb capacity. The inner and outer wheel bearings would be the determining factor that would tell you the actual capacity. We do have 95 inch axles (hub face to hub face…

Answer 7

The #AKHD-655-6-EZ-K hub would arrive with the grease seal, the races and the inner and outer bearings installed. The bearings are already packed with grease, so the hub is ready to install. I'd recommend using some additional all-purpose marine…
