Timbren offers the Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, # ASR5200S04, that has a 5,200 pound weight capacity with 4" drop spindle allows for a low deck height.

Since this system does not include hubs you would need the following:

Hub and Drum Assembly, # AKHD-655-6-K Qty 2
Bearing Kit which includes 15123 and 25580 bearings with 10-36 seal, # BK3-100 Qty 2
OR
Idler Hub, # 42655UC1 Qty 2
The idler hub includes bearings, races, seal, and grease cap.
