The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR35HDS02 can be used with hydraulic brakes but they will not work with the Dexter # 23-312-313.

The Timbren system is designed to be used with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and has a 5 bolt brake flange configuration. For hydraulic brakes that will fit, I recommend the Hydraulic Trailer Brake - Uni-Servo - 12" # AKUBRK-7R and # AKUBRK-7L. These hydraulic drum brakes are 12" x 2" and also have the same 5 bolt mounting flange pattern. They work for 14-1/2", 15", 16", and 16-1/2" wheels.

To answer your question about the shipping, we do ship to APO addresses. I have included a link with all of our shipping information. I have also included some review videos for your reference.
