Note: This Axle-Less system requires crossbeam support. If your trailer frame doesn't have a crossmember in place, you can retrofit it with one, or you can add a support by running a piece of 2" x 2" steel tubing through the square holes cut into these units. You could also add a steel reinforcement bracket to the inside of the trailer frame.


Get more ground clearance and a more comfortable ride when you're towing with Timbren's Axle-Less trailer suspension. This suspension system provides great shock absorption to comfortably get you where you need to go and to protect your precious cargo as you travel - even on rough pavement. With 2 independently operating units, you'll get better handling when making tight turns. And because this system eliminates your axle and has standard-height spindles built in, you'll get more clearance without having to raise your deck height.


Timbren Axle-Less Suspension vs. Other Suspension Systems

There are many suspension options for your trailer or camper. So, what makes Timbren Axle-Less different?


Leaf Spring Example

Axle-Less systems are a definitive upgrade over traditional leaf springs, in part because they allow you to do away with your thru-axle, allowing for maximum clearance. As you've probably noticed, having a leaf spring suspension means that your axle will always hang at least a few inches below your trailer's frame, resulting in limited ground clearance. This may make it difficult to navigate rough roads.


In addition, while leaf springs do a great job of supporting an even load, they may cause your trailer to bounce and rattle when it's empty or to bottom out with a heavy load. And they don't offer any type of shock absorption for a smooth ride - unless you have upgrades built in. With Timbren's Axle-Less system, gone are the days of dealing with these annoyances - this suspension is designed for a quiet, balanced ride, whether your trailer's fully loaded or empty.


Torsion Axle Example

A torsion axle is a step up in terms of shock absorption, and it provides more clearance than a traditional, leaf spring suspension, but that crossbeam will still hang down some. And if your torsion axle gets damaged in any way, it can't be repaired - you'll have to replace the entire thing with a setup that matches your exact trailer frame width.


With the Axle-Less system from Timbren, you won't have a low-hanging axle beam to get in the way when you're driving on rough roads. The standard-height spindles on this setup will keep your deck height the same, so you'll get that extra clearance and still be able to easily load and unload your trailer. And the rubber springs and independent operation both combine to absorb shock and deliver a smooth, easy ride. In addition, the Axle-Less system can be easily maintained over time, and it will fit any trailer frame width, so you don't have to worry about potentially ordering the wrong size like you might with other systems.


Timbren Silent Ride Example

Another suspension upgrade on the market is Timbren's Silent Ride. This setup is a great option to reduce bounce and rattle because it has the same AEON rubber springs as the Axle-Less system. But the Silent Ride still requires an axle, so you won't get the same ground clearance or low deck height as you will with the Axle-Less suspension.


Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Parts

The Timbren Axle-Less suspension is designed with you in mind. All of the parts work together so you can tow your trailer comfortably - regardless of load size.


Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Parts Diagram

  1. The jounce spring supports the weight of your trailer and cargo. It easily absorbs road shock and is constructed of AEON heavy-duty, hollow rubber.
  2. The rebound spring delivers a smooth, stable ride - regardless of how much cargo is on the trailer. It controls the movement of the jounce spring to minimize trailer body roll, bounce, rattle, and bottoming out.
  3. The trailing arm with integrated hanger attaches the suspension to the side and bottom of the trailer frame.
  4. The control arm carries the spindle and the hub. It pivots on strong, long-lasting polyurethane bushings that never require lubrication.
  5. The E-Z Lube spindle is simple to grease. If damaged, it can be removed and replaced, saving you both time and money compared to a traditional axle.
  6. The built-in hole accepts 2" x 2" steel tubing (not included) to add support to your trailer's frame. The tubing sits higher than a trailer axle, providing additional ground clearance.

Installing the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension

Measuring Diagram

The first step in installing the Timbren Axle-Less suspension is to make sure that the mounting points for each unit are directly across from each other. The easiest way to measure this is to mark the desired mounting points on your trailer's frame. Then measure the distance between these points and the center of your trailer coupler. These measurements (A and B) need to be within 1/8" to keep your trailer frame square.


Once you have your mounting points lined up, you'll be ready to install the system. Drill 3 holes into your trailer frame at the desired mounting points. Then bolt each unit to the frame with Grade 8, 1/2" bolts (not included).


Keep Your Trailer Frame Square

Because Timbren's Axle-Less system eliminates your trailer's thru-axle, you'll have to find another way to get the crossbeam support that keeps your trailer frame square. You have a few different options to do this depending on your application and how much fabricating you're comfortable doing.


Crossmember Installation

If you're building a trailer, the best option is to begin building with the Timbren Axle-Less in mind and include a crossmember where you want to install the units on your frame. You can also retrofit an existing trailer with a crossmember.


Steel Tubing Installation

If you don't have a crossmember where you want to install the Axle-Less system (and you don't want to add one), pick up a section of 2" x 2" steel tubing from a nearby weld shop. This tubing will serve as a support to keep your trailer square. It will hang only about an inch down from your trailer frame, providing more clearance than a thru-axle.


After you've mounted both of the units to your frame, you'll need to drill 3 holes into the steel tubing and into the built-in, square holes. Then, insert the tubing through the holes and secure it with 3 bolts (not included) on each side.


Reinforcement Bracket Installation

The last option is to fabricate a reinforcement bracket that can be attached to the inside of your trailer frame and to the Axle-Less suspension. It may be a little harder to fabricate a compatible bracket than to mount steel tubing, but you may get additional clearance with this method.

  • 5x10 Cargo Trailer Suspension Upgrade to Timbren Axle Less
    When you say better suspension do you mean stiffer like to support more weight or do you mean something smoother so the trailer is less bouncy? Either way could you get me the axle diameter you have now or the capacity so that I can look into your best option? Most likely you are wanting it to be smoother which we may have a shock kit to help with.

  • Help With Verifying Torsion Axle Angle Being Different From One Side Of Trailer To Other
    You could be experiencing one of 2 separate issues or a combination of both. If the side at 38 degrees is the passenger side I have seen this a lot as that side of the trailer typically experiences the worst ride quality from damage to the edge of the road. It could either be the rubber torsion inserts inside the axle are worn and allows it to sit lower. You can verify this is the issue if the end of the spindle can easily be raised higher. You could also have a bent axle where the spindle...

  • Recommended 3500 lb Replacement Axle, Leaf Springs, And Hardware For Pop-Up Camper
    For your pop up camper, I recommend the Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes - EZ-Lube - 5 on 4-1/2 Bolt Pattern - 89" - 3,500 lbs # e43SR. You will want to measure to ensure that this is the correct fit with the leaf springs at 74 inches from spring center to spring center. This axle has the brake assemblies and hub and drum assemblies already fitted, so you will just need to assemble and install. For leaf springs, you will want to measure from center of spring eye to center of spring...

  • Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System Rated for Higher Than 2,000 Pounds
    The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, part # A20RS545, is rated for a total of 2,000 pounds. Essentially, it's designed to work in place of a suspension system and a 2,000 pound standard axle. If you need a 3,500 pound system use part # A35RS545 that has idler hubs with the same 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If you want to add brakes instead use part # A35RS545E that includes the hub and drums, as well as the brake assemblies. There really isn't anything to retrofit. You just...

  • Determining Which Replacement Leaf Springs and Bearings For 1985 Boat Trailer
    I would be happy to help! Starting with the leaf springs you will need to know the width of the leaf spring, if it is a double eye spring or a slipper spring, the axle rating of the axle on your boat trailer, and the length of the spring. To determine the axle rating you will want to check the axle tag on the center of the axle, or if the tag is missing we can get really close by using the GVWR of the trailer. For example the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles...

  • Replacement Axle Spindle for Dexter P21-SLR with 76 Inch Spring Seats and 44649 and 68149 Bearings
    I reached out to Dexter and they no longer make that axle. I can confirm based on the bearing sizes you gave that you have a 3,500 lb capacity. If you determine you just want to replace the hub, I recommend the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 3,500-lb Axles - 10" Diameter - 5 on 4-1/2 # 84546UC3 or # AKHD-545-35-EZ-K if you have the grease zerk integrated in the spindle.

  • Availability Of BT 15118 And Timken 09074 Bearings For A 1950s Boat Trailer
    Hey John, I am afraid that the info in that previous question you read is still going to hold true. The BT 15118 and 09074 bearing sizes are obsolete and are no longer readily available. Nor are there any suitable substitutes that we can offer. At this point I would have to recommend replacing the axle entirely since a new axle would use common bearing sizes and you will have no problem getting the right bearings, races and such.

  • Available Options That Can Be Used in Place of a Torsion Axle
    We do not carry torsion axles, just some components of them. But, we do have Timbren Axle-Less kits like the 3,500 lbs. part # A35RS545 which can be used in place of a torsion axle. This attaches to the trailer frame and instead of using a torsion spring it uses a rubber spring. I have linked our selection of these axle-less options so you can check out the weight capacity and rise/drop options available.

  • Recommended Axle-Less System To Convert Single Axle Trailer Into Tandem Dual Axle
    Yes. Turning a single axle trailer into a dual axle trailer is possible. It will require relocating your axle and adding another one as well as welding hangers and adding springs. However, there is an easier option to all of this and that is using the axle-less system from Timbren and bolting them to your frame. The two spindles should split the distance of your current single axle. The axle-less system also gives you greater ground clearance because there is no axle in the middle...

If you look at the Dexter Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs # 35545I-ST-89, it will have a hub face to hub face measurement of 89 inches and a center of one spring seat to the center of the other...

    It sounds like you have a 3,500 lb axle and it would be classified as a 2-3/8 inch axle.

This is a job for a professional as the slightest misalignment can cause issues. You also may need to adjust your spring seat locations. Cutting your axle will impact it's capacity in some way and how it flexes to absorb shock, so you may want to consider replacing it instead....
