Will the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System Work On I-Beam Frames

Question:

TT has Lippert 3500# single axle with I beam chassis - looking to add or replace suspension/axle, Any thoughts on this item or Item # A35RS545E? Obviously, fabrication need to be made to attach to the I beam but any other gotchas to look for?

The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Systems like part # A35RS545E will work just fine on an I-beam trailer frame so long as you box in the side of the frame that the bracket for the system attaches to. This essentially means you will have to weld a steel plate on the I-beam frame where the bracket for the above system would install. This part of the process is also somewhat covered in the installation manual as well. Then, you'll have to create a crossbeam but aside from that there should be no other major steps aside from drilling and bolting into place.
