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 terrain. 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 off-road terrain.


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 want to go off-road. 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.

  • Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System Compatibility with Aluminum I-Beam Trailer Frame
    The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - 4" Lift Spindle - Off-Road Tires - 3,500 lbs # ASR35HDS02 is compatible with I-beam frames and in tandem axle configuration. Due to the Aluminum frame, I recommend putting a thin rubber pad between the steel mount and the aluminum I-beam. The powder coat on the steel should keep the two dissimilar metals from galvanic corrosion, but a thin rubber pad would drastically increase this safety. Zinc plated hardware will work well with...

  • Replacing the Axle on a Gooseneck Horse Trailer
    An axle flip kit like part # K71-384-00 will raise the trailer the diameter of the axle plus the height of the leaf spring pack. I do have options for you but rotating the axle to where the bend faces the other direction is not one of them. The bend in the axle will actually straighten out once a load is placed on the trailer and if this was reversed, the axle would lose capacity. Now from this point forward you have two options both of which entail replacing the axle. Since your current...

  • What Hub/Drums Does Timbren Axle Less Kit # ASR35HDS02 Use
    Hey Austin, since the Timben Axle Less kit part # ASR35HDS02 is the HD version of a 3,500 lb axle it actually uses a 5,200 lb axle hub and not a 3,500 lb axle hub so what you'd want is the part # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. Then for the correct matching brake assemblies you'd need the part # AKEBRK-7-SA and you'd be set. What are you planning on using the trailer for?

  • How to Determine Spring-Center and Hub-Face Measurements when Building a Trailer
    It sounds like you are heading in the right direction. To decide where your springs seat will be you will need to mock up your trailer as if you were installing all of the equipment on it. Once you have the suspension part mocked up you will want to measure the distance between the middle of your hangers since that is where the middle of your spring seats will be. If that measures 48 inches, like you believe it will, then you will just need to find what the hub-face dimensions are needed. To...

  • How to Fix a Trailer Leaning Heavily to One Side
    The reason your trailer is heavily leaning to one side is because of the way it's loaded. From the picture, it appears that you have much more equipment on the right side than you do the left side. This uneven loading has caused the leaf spring to wear down quicker overtime further worsening the problem. Unfortunately, you really only have two options to fix the problem which would be to either reorganize how equipment is loaded on the trailer or replace the suspension components with...

  • Recommendations For Upgrading to Timbren Heavy Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension
    Timbren axle-less trailer suspensions are a great way to upgrade your trailer. They provide a smooth, quiet, safe ride and allow you to maximize your ground clearance. You will not be able to match your truck hubs because trailers and trucks are different and are not interchangeable. Which system you need and what components will depend on your trailer's weight capacity, bolt pattern, and how you are using it (for example: off-road). For example, the 3,500 pound Timbren Axle-Less Trailer...

  • Replacement Hubs With 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern

You need to take apart your old hub in order to find out if you have the same bearing numbers. If so hub and drum assembly # AKHD-550-35-K will work; for an idler hub assembly # AKIHUB-550-35-K would be the right choice. I've added a link to video reviews of these parts for you...

  • Recommended Suspension Upgrade for Grand Design 17MKE Travel Trailer

Although Roadmaster does not have a kit like this for 3,500 lb axles, I do have another option.

    The Timbren 3.5k Axle Less System part # ASR35HDS02 that you referenced does require higher capacity hubs than what you currently have. For a hub/drum that is the same as your current hubs you would want the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ. This hub comes with the correct fitting bearings for the Timbren axle spindle. For brake assemblies you would then want the part # 23-465 for the right hand side and part # 23-464 for the left hand side.

  • Replacement Option for 5,200 lb Dexter Axle on 2016 Arctic Fox 25R
    We don't have an exact match for all of your measurements but you can use the Dexter Trailer Axle Beam # 8327816 as a replacement. This is 86-1/2" long so it will stick out 1/4" more on either side of your trailer, something you won't even notice. The spring center is also different but that is fairly common when replacing an axle. What you can do is cut off the spring seats and weld on # TRSS300 to match your existing 67-1/24" measurement.
