Expert Reply:
Yes, the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension system can indeed be installed on your 36' Keystone Montana 5th Wheel as they are a universal fit item that bolts directly to the frame of your trailer. To determine which Timbren option is correct for you, you will need to determine the axle rating of your axles.
The easiest way to do this is by looking for the axle rating stamped on the axle tag on the center of the axle, or if this tag is missing you can find the GAWR on the same sticker as the VIN of the trailer.
Based on the length of your trailer it likely has 5200-7000lb axles but you will want to confirm this first.
If you have 5200lb axles we have the # ASR5200S01 which is a standard height axle, but you can use the # TASR5200S03 you were looking at which gives 4" of lift as well. If you have 7000lb axles we have the # TASR7KS01 which is also a standard height axle.
One thing to keep in mind is since these axle-less options replace the leaf springs on your trailer with progressive rate AEON main springs, you will need to replace all of the axles on your trailer so that they use the exact same suspension to avoid handling and stability issues.
If you can tell me the axle rating of the axles on your trailer, I would be happy to confirm the correct axle-less option for you.
I included a video of the timbren kits for you to take a look at.
