• Should 3,500 lb or 5,200 lb Timbren Axle-Less System be Used for over 3,600 lbs of Loaded Trailer
  
• Since your axle will ultimately be under the weight of your trailer and it's contents you definitely need to make sure that it is rated for more than what you will be carrying. You need to go with the 5,200 lb weight capacity. For this we have the Straight Spindle # ASR5200S01, 4" Lift Spindle # TASR5200S03, and 4" Drop Spindle # ASR5200S04. This is compatible with the idler hub # 8-213-5UC1-EZ or the hub and drum assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ. I recommend going with the hub and drum assembly...

• Replacement Axle Needed for Lippert 5,200 lbs Axle with Serial Number 045-001684271
  
• I do have a solution for you, however when I spoke with my contact at Lippert they said that your axle is rated for 5,200 lbs and the highest rated standard axles that we have are rated for 3,500 lbs. The alternative solution that we have is the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension # ASR5200S01. This system is rated for 5,200 lbs and can be used as a single axle or you can use 2 for a tandem axle trailer. There are a few great things about the Timbren system. It increases ground clearance since...

• Replacement Hub Needed for Lippert 122093 Hub on 5,200 lbs Axle
  
• If you are needing the hub and drum assembly then you will want to go with the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 8-201-5UC3-EZ but if you are just looking for an idler hub then you will want part # 8-213-5UC1 instead. These come with the correct bearings that you need for your spindle but you will need to also purchase the correct Grease Seal, part # RG06-070, as the seal that comes with either hub is slightly too small. I have confirmed these parts with my contact at Lippert to make...

• Recommended Hub/Drum for Timbren 3,500 Lb Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System
  
• The Timbren Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension is offered with a straight spindle using part # ASR35HDS01 and a 2" lift spindle using part # TASR35HDS06. They both use the same brake mounting flanges but the bearings are different. The straight spindles use a 25580 inner/LM67048 outer bearing and the lift spindles use a 25580 inner/15123 outer bearing. For a braking assembly on either spindle I recommend the Electric Trailer Brake Kit part # AKEBRK-7-SA which are self adjusting...

• 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...

• How to Increase the Weight Carrying Capacity of a 2016 Coachmen Viking 17BHS
  
• The weight capacity of a trailer will always be limited by its weakest component. You can in turn increase the weight capacity of the trailer by upgrading these components. Based on what you provided, the tires rated at 3,420 lbs for the pair are the weakest component and will be what you want to look at first when upgrading. The axle rated at 3,500 lbs is the next weakest component. In order to upgrade the weight capacity of the tires on your trailer you will need to switch to a larger...

• Replacement Axles Needed for Trailer with Tandem Lippert 3,500 lb Axles
  
• When you are looking for a replacement axle there are a few measurements that you want to take note of to make sure that you get the correct replacement size. You want to get the same length axle that has the same Hub Face and Spring Center measurements. From the information that you gave me, your current axle has a Hub Face measurement of 86.5 inches and a Spring Center measurement of 68.5 inches. Although we do not have any axles that have these exact measurements I do have a solution...

• Can the Capacity of a Trailer be Increased by Upgrading the Axle?
  
• Since your trailer currently has a 3,500 lb axle, the restriction of 2,990 lbs max capacity must be due to another component on your trailer that doesn't have the that high of a capacity. This could be your coupler, leaf springs, wheels, tires, or the frame itself. If the frame itself is rated the lowest, then your capacity cannot be increased, but any of the other components does give that ability to increase weight capacity. The weight capacities should be listed on the individual...

• Recommendation For Hub And Drum With Outer Bearing LM67048
  
• Based on your information, it sounds like you have either a 4,400-lb or 5,200-lb trailer axle. Both can have an outer bearing like Item # LM67048 but the inner bearing and hubs will be different. For a 4,400-lb axle, the inner bearing will be like Item # L68149 and for a 5,200-lb axle it will be like Item # 25580. I do not know the bolt pattern of your wheels but the most common pattern is 6 on 5-1/2. I have also attached an article on "how to measure bolt patterns" in case you need...

• Wheel/Tire, Hub and Drum, and Brake Assembly Recommendation for Timbren Axle Less Kit TASR5200S03
  
• For a brake drum to fit the Timbren kit part # TASR5200S03 that you referenced you would want the part # 8-201-5UC3-EZ. Then for a matching assemblies you would need # AKEBRK-7R-SA and # AKEBRK-7L-SA for either side. The part # AC225R6SM would be a great fitting wheel and tire combo that has a 2,540-lb max load at 65 psi for each wheel/tire.

• Recommended Replacement Axles For Tandem Axle Boat Trailer
  
• As long as the frame itself can handle the additional weight, you would need to upgrade all of the other components under that weight capacity including the coupler. I recommend using the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 5200 lbs # ASR5200S01. This will allow your to simply remove the existing suspension and axles and add a cross beam or add a piece of 2x3 inch tubing between the axles in the integrated holes. With these spindles, you can use the Trailer...

• We do have hubs that use your same set of bearings, parts # 25580 and # LM67048.

• Where to Measure to Determine Correct Size Brake Shoes Trailer Brakes Need
  
• Are you trying to pick out brake shoes or all new brake assemblies? Normally you measure the depth of the hub drum and then measure the diameter of it and you'll know which size you have. I attached a picture that shows where to measure. If shoes are what you need let me know what brand you have and I'll see if we can find a replacement.

• Replacement Hub and Drum Assembly Using 25580 Inner Bearing and 67048 Outer Bearing
  
• With bearings # 25580 and # LM67048 the correct hub and drum assemblies are # 8-201-5UC3-EZ if you have EZ lube spindles or # 8-201-5UC3 for standard spindles. The only issue is the measurement of your seal. These hub assemblies use a seal with a 2.125 inch inner diameter. If this is what your seal measures these will work great for you.

• What Size Wheel Pilot Hole Will Fit Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum # 8-201-5UC3-EZ

• Selecting Correct Replacement 12 x 2 Electric Brake and Drum Assembly for 6000-lb Axle
  
• The best way to identify the correct replacement components for your trailer is by using the part numbers from your current inner and outer bearings and grease seals (or a spindle measurement where the seal and bearings ride). It is possible to measure the spindles to obtain grease seal dimensions (location B on the photo) but this process requires care and a precision digital caliper like # PTW80157. You will also need to confirm the diameter of your wheel studs. We already know your brakes...
