To be able to run the same 5 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern for your Jeep Wrangler on the M105A2 trailer you are going to have to cut off your current spindles to have 2 Spindles # TRU77FR installed. This is the common size spindle found on a 3,500lb axle which will then let you install 2 of the Hub/Drums # AKHD-555-35-EZ-K. With these you will want to install Electric Brakes # 23-468-469 since they are much better on an Overlanding trailer than surge type brakes. We do have a Junction Box # 3430001-JBK and Trailer Breakaway Kit # 3802346 to help with the electric conversion for the trailer.

Please let me know if you need any help finding the wiring parts for your Jeep if you do not already have a 7-way or controller.

I was wanting to go with axeless setup for independent suspension I just don't know now if I bought the right trailer do to weight I'm stripping the trailer down to frame and bed to reduce weight I'm just not sure if it will be enough

@Kevin I completely understand your concern with weight since you are pulling with a Jeep. We do have the Timbren Axle-Less kits which would work in the following drop/rise spindles. 4" Drop # ASR3500S04 No Drop/Rise # ASR3500S05 4" Lift # ASR3500S06 These will all use the brakes and hubs from above as they have the 3,500lb spindle.
