Dragging the frame or plumbing on rough roads is no fun. This Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension has a built-in 2" lift spindle that raises the trailer deck for better ground clearance. It eliminates the traditional axle beam, so you can tow over dips, driveways, or rutted camp roads without bottoming out. The design fits any trailer frame width and keeps everything tucked up out of harm’s way.
Bumps on one side shouldn’t shake your whole trailer. Each side of this suspension works independently to keep your load steady. The AEON rubber jounce springs soak up road shock and support weight, while rebound springs control roll, bounce, and rattle. Even over uneven pavement, the trailer tracks smoothly and quietly so your gear—and nerves—stay intact.
You can count on the solid steel arms and hanger design to take on heavy work with a 5,200-lb combined weight capacity. The 5-bolt brake flange gives you flexibility for electric brake setups, and the E-Z Lube spindles make bearing maintenance quick with built-in grease zerks. The black powder coat finish resists rust so it stays looking good and working right for the long haul.
Uneven wear and twitchy tracking burn through tires fast. This system’s built-in camber and toe-in keep the wheels planted and aligned under load. The result is steadier handling and longer tire life, whether the trailer’s empty or fully loaded.
Whether you’re replacing worn suspension parts or building from scratch, this setup bolts right to your trailer frame without needing a specific axle length. You can add a 2" x 3" steel cross tube through the built-in holes for extra reinforcement. It’s straightforward, strong, and built to fit the way you work.

This is my second Timbren independent suspension. Definitely the best ride on the road.
I put these on an off-road trailer build. They have been fantastic! I've done many miles and they held up great. Highly recommend.
Very nice quality, I had to call Timbren with a question very good company to deal with and etrailer is a first class company very good customer service.
These are going on a single axle trailer. They appear to be heavy duty and well made. The shipping was quick.
Best suspension you can get for off-road trailers. We use this suspension on all of our VORSHEER XER trailers.
Five star. shipping was slow. Product was great 14 K 14 plies under 2000 pounds independent suspension. Low fast and sassy. Yep that’s how I build them.
We use Timbren's ASR5200S03 on all of our XOC and XOC-R trailers. These suspension are well built and have always performed well for us.
This is as close to a bulletproof suspension as they come. We use this suspension on all of our VORSHEER XOC trailers. They have performed flawlessly as an off-road suspension.
A must have suspension if you're building an off-road trailer!
We use Timbren's ASR3500S06 on all of our XER trailers. We couldn't be happier. It is a well built suspension.
Actual trailer weight 1540#, 210# tongue weight. 1310# suspension load. After 600 miles, both springs collapsed making the suspension rigid. Have received replacement springs from Timbren but haven't had a chance to try them out.
Timbren saved our RV road trip! The leafs on the axle on our 2018 Jayco TT came apart while driving in Maryland. We tried going to the manufacturer, but they were useless. Going to a RV mechanic meant being grounded for at least 2 months. Then we found Timbren. With the help of Timbren's excellent staff we purchased axle-less system through etrailer, who made sure we got as quick as possible. It came ahead of schedule, my husband installed the Timbren system and we were back on the road! The axle-less system is better than the original manufacturers. If you plan on taking your RV or TT farther than 100 miles GET THIS INSTALLED and get it through etrailer.
The order came in on time and the customer service at etrailer.com (Ashley) and Sean from Tmbren was outstanding. They both were very helpful in my choosing the right product for my needs. The axle less suspension's performance is absolutely superb. It vastly improves ride quality. I am using it on a teardrop camper that often goes on gravel roads and the raddling sound from the leaf axles was horrible. A couple of points to consider before you settle on the axle less suspension: keep in mind that you will lose some hight of the trailer. While you will gain clearance from the lack of the axle, the suspension will make the trailer sit lower than before.i had to lower my hitch by an inch to maintain the trailer leveled. Also it does appear to compress at higher rate than the leaf springs, which makes it softer but easier to reach it's limit. Overall this product is absolutely a must if you are looking to improve the safety and the quality of your towing.
Hi Amy,,
I got my order yesterday, it is perfect for what for my off road camper trailer project.
Maybe a little (lot!) Over kill, but where it will be going I don't think over kill is a bad thing.
I have made a lot of purchases from you guys and have never been disappointed.
I will probably need to purchase the hub/break assembly next.
Thanks for everything,
Very exicited about these axels, I have been eyeing these for over a year. (Excellent service from etrailer, they had my parts to me in 1 day from the time of placing the order.) These axles seem to be well made and fit nicely with the Dexter hub and drum assembly and the 12" electric brake kit. I installed this all on a M1101/M1102 trailer frame after removing the factory axel assembly. I have not ran these on the road or off as of yet but will give another review at that time. The fit and finish are great and the packaging was good, a little banged up from shipping (missing 1 washer)
Installed the Timbren Axle-less suspension a little over a year ago and approximately 5000 miles ago. I have been extremely satisfied with the installation and performance thus far and have had no issues. I also chose to install an optional crossmember for more strength using a 1/4" thick piece of 2x3 steel. I had to increase the weight capacity of my campers suspension due to renovating the interior completely and adding more weight. I also strengthened the frame to accommodate the extra weight. In addition to installing the Timbren 5200LB system I installed new 12" electric brakes and upgraded to 225/75R15 tires with E load range rating.
Customer service is amazing! Thanks to all of the team at etrailer.
Trailer suspension and disk brake performance is outstanding big big difference over leaf spring and electric drum brakes.
Installation required modifications to the frame to monut the timbren suspension

The trailer rides great down the road and no more worries about saltwater and rusty leaf springs. Not a cheap option but I’m very happy with the setup. When installing, just be sure to measure accurately and have sharp drill bits. A drill press type of guide also helps ensure correct drilling angles. The first picture is of a mounting gusset a local welding shop made. One is needed for each side and necessary to provide needed mounting strength-at least on my trailer frame. Pics 2 and 3 show the mounted suspension on one side of the trailer. Pic 4 shows the suspension on one side of the trailer with the axle attached and a separately purchased disc brake assembly mounted on it. Finally, pic 5 shows a 2” box channel between both suspension assemblies. Independent suspensions would have been nice, but I wanted to ensure trailer rigidity was maintained. So, after one year, so far, so good. It’s all smooth sailing down the highway.
Best axle system for overland trailers and their travels, great independence system for those 1-6 trail ratings, simple to work on , easy bolt on system. I would recommend to grease after each trip . The standard Duty -4" Drop- 4Bolt Flange- 3500 lbs give me about 21" clearance with 35" x 12.5 tires
Great product
Works good
