Bumpy roads don’t have to mean a rough ride. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension uses jounce and rebound AEON rubber springs to soak up road shock and keep your load steady. These springs work together to control bounce, sway, and body roll, giving you a quieter, more stable ride whether your trailer is empty or loaded to capacity.
Dragging the axle over steep driveways or ruts is a thing of the past. This system gets rid of the traditional axle beam, so nothing hangs below the trailer frame. You gain ground clearance while keeping your deck height the same. The standard-height E-Z Lube spindles make maintenance simple and keep your bearings greased through built-in zerks.
When one wheel hits a bump, the other side stays steady. Each of the two 7,000-lb capacity suspension units works independently to keep the trailer controlled and balanced. That means smoother tracking around corners and less rattle through the frame. The built-in camber and toe-in also help reduce uneven tire wear, keeping your setup rolling straight.
This suspension bolts right to your trailer’s frame and fits any frame width. It replaces one complete axle and suspension system with two heavy-duty steel units coated in black powder for rust protection. Each side uses a 5-bolt brake flange with 5/8" bolt holes and 1-7/8" suspension travel. The setup weighs about 150 lbs and can be used on single- or tandem-axle trailers (two systems required for tandem).
With no thru-axle connecting both sides, a crossbeam keeps the frame square. The design includes square holes that accept 2"x3" steel tubing (not included) for added support. You can also use a steel reinforcement bracket inside the frame. It’s a simple, sturdy way to keep your trailer geometry right where it should be.
Ratings & Reviews
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.
We use Timbren's ASR3500S06 on all of our XER trailers. We couldn't be happier. It is a well built suspension.
A must have suspension if you're building an off-road trailer!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Purchased for a prototype part. It exceeds my expectations and got here fast!
Can't wait to install! They are well co nstructed!
Received promptly in good condition. Have not installed as of yet. Looks substantial.
Just as discribed and delivered proptly. Everyone I spoke to at etrailer is very friendly and super helpful.
Good application for custom axle set up that would not allow mounting to outer frame. Suspect I will need to make adjustment to camber as these mount to inside of frame with wheels in rather than outside of frame but shims were provided with kit. Also confirmed with mfg., Timbren, that these could be used in that configuration. Parts arrived in good condition in timely fashion. Did received two different type of tires but that was easily resolved with a single email. Good company to work with, competitively priced.
Excellent quality.
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.
Customer service is amazing! Thanks to all of the team at etrailer.
