Bumpy trails and washboard roads make trailers shake and rattle, but this heavy-duty Axle-Less suspension smooths it out. The AEON rubber jounce springs absorb hard hits and road shock while the rebound springs control the motion to limit bounce, sway, and body roll. The setup gives a stable, quiet ride whether the trailer is empty or loaded, keeping everything inside from getting tossed around.
Traditional axles hang low and limit clearance. This Axle-Less system removes the beam completely, so nothing drags or snags underneath. The 4" drop spindle lowers the deck height for easier loading while still giving the ground clearance needed for off-road travel. It fits any trailer frame width and eliminates the need to hunt for a specific axle size, making it a flexible choice for custom or rebuilt trailers.
Hauling gear off pavement or down gravel roads demands tough hardware. These suspension units are made from robust, heavy-gauge steel built to handle abuse. Each side bolts directly to the trailer frame with 1/2" hardware and supports up to 2,000 lbs. The black powder-coat finish resists rust and corrosion so the parts stay strong through years of use.
Maintenance stays easy thanks to the long E-Z Lube spindles. Built-in grease zerks let you service bearings without disassembly, and if a spindle gets damaged, it can be replaced on its own. Each side of the suspension works independently, so one wheel taking a hit doesn’t upset the other. That means better control, less tire wear, and a safer, more predictable pull on uneven ground.
This setup is designed for wide, off-road tires up to 33" tall and wheels 15" or smaller. The 4-bolt brake flange makes it simple to add compatible brakes when needed. With built-in camber and toe-in for proper alignment, it keeps tires tracking straight and wearing evenly—no matter how far the road takes you.

Its been a year since Ive installed the new axles on my trailer my comments above still hold true. Im very pleased with the ride quality of the system after a year. The trailer tracks true and has hauled many things other than my motorcycle. Even empty it doesnt hop around like the original stock straight axle did. No regrets on the purchase.

They are GREAT! I put them on a small offroad trailer that has followed me all over some really rough roads in remote Oregon, Washington, and Idaho. They have performed flawlessly, helped the trailer tow extremely well, and were the single best upgrade I did to that trailer. Very much looking forward to another summer of exploring! Massive upgrade to the stock axle leaf spring combo, and I have had the opportunity to show it off to alot of fellow overlanders. I cant speak high enough of them. I also purchased a set of airbags for my vehicle which unfortunately have not held up terribly well. I have had to field repair one once already, and neither holds air terribly well. Truth be told they seem very underdesigned for the job they perform. From my super secret high tech pocket internet window.

Ashley, the 4 version doesnt actually give it more travel. Its the same was the standard or the system as far as suspension travel. What the 4 system does it lift the height of the trailer from the ground, depending on what youre doing with the trailer. For an off road trailer I personally would do the 4raise for added ground clearance, just gotta make sure the trailer doesnt get top heavy. The standard system is good for pretty much all uses and the system is for when you need a really low deck height for a lawn mower or go kart for example. I appreciate your review as I am going to be building a small off road campingbug-out trailer to tow behind my lifted FJ cruiser. I havent decided if I am going to go with the standard height or the 4 lift as I am going to be running the same off road tires toyo RT that I have on my FJ on the trailer and I want the trailer to sit around the same height. Did you add brakes to yours? Im planning on either running electric brakes or if available in am going to run surge brakes.

Michael, My trailer was so light even fully loaded that I didnt see the need for brakes and never missed having them.I stand corrected: We did get the 4 lift, but the non-HD instead of the HD because the specs said that it had a bit more travel. and we didnt need the weight capacity. That being said, Im still happy with how this suspension performs. My trailer is on 31s on a stock Cherokee.

Your comments regarding the Axle-Less Suspension are greatly appreciated. To address the issues you have pointed out, we have carefully reviewed our assembly. While we did not come across any major issues, we did however discover a few areas where the quality could be improved, specifically in the areas you brought to our attention. The following improvements have been made to improve the manufacturing process: - Robotic welder gun re-programmed so that it stops from getting too close to the areas adjacent to the mounting holes of the outboard arm and control arm. This will minimize weld spatter. - The distortion of the flat plates is due to the high degree of heat generated during welding. We conducted experiments, changing the sequence of welding operations until we were successful in minimizing the distortion. We apologize if our customer service in addressing your concerns was insufficient at the time of your phone call. Timbren is an ISO 9001:2008 company with an excellent reputation for providing customers with quality products that are well-performing and easy to install.

We just drove 1200 miles mostly at 75mph. The axles work very well in all conditions, trailer ride very smoothly.
