Note: The Timbren Axle-Less suspension system may require additional support on your trailer. If your trailer does not have a crossmember above the spot where you want to install the Timbren system, you may need to reinforce the frame. You can accomplish this three ways. First, you can retrofit the trailer with a crossmember. Second, you can build out the trailer frame. Third, you can use standard, 2-inch steel tubing to connect the 2 Timbren suspensions together using the built-in square hole on each unit.
Ride on rubber with Timbren's Axle-Less trailer suspension system. This one-of-a-kind suspension consists of two separate units, each containing rugged steel arms and two strong, hollow rubber springs. Overall, the system safely and effectively absorbs road shock, minimizes trailer bounce and rattle - regardless of load size - and helps to protect your trailer's components and cargo. Built-in camber and toe-in keep your trailer tracking straight to minimize tire wear. Integrated hangers attach to your trailer's frame. And 2-inch holes make it easy to reinforce your trailer's frame by adding standard, 2-inch-square steel tubing (if needed).
The Axle-Less independent suspension system replaces your trailer's existing leaf spring suspension and can eliminate the need for an axle. The independent action of the suspension reduces roll when your trailer is cornering and allows you to maximize ground clearance and minimize deck height. Your trailer can have the same side-to-side clearance as your tow vehicle. And the low deck height makes it easy to load cargo from either the rear or the side.
Because you're riding on rubber, your trailer will ride smoothly and comfortably, whether you're navigating rocky terrain or highway asphalt.
Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Parts
- The AEON progressive-rate main spring supports the weight of your trailer and cargo and easily absorbs road shock. It is constructed of heavy-duty, hollow rubber.
- The rebound spring minimizes trailer bounce, rattle and bottoming out. It keeps the suspension under constant tension and ensures that the main spring compresses and expands in a controlled fashion. And it delivers a smooth, stable ride - regardless of how much cargo is on the trailer.
- The trailing arm and integrated hanger attach the suspension to the side and bottom of the trailer frame.
- The control arm carries the spindle and the hub. It pivots on strong, long-lasting urethane bushings that never require lubrication.
- The EZ lube spindle is simple to grease. If damaged, it can be removed and replaced, saving you both time and money.
- The hub is not included with this model.
- The built-in square hole accepts standard 2-inch tubing. If there is no crossmember above the suspension, you can easily add support to your trailer's frame by inserting 2-inch steel tubing through the hole on each suspension unit and then bolting the tubing into place.
Timbren Axle-Less Suspension versus Leaf Springs
The Axle-Less suspension's progressive spring is a definitive upgrade over leaf springs. Although leaf springs deliver a stable ride when supporting a load, a trailer with leaf springs will bounce and rattle when it's empty or supporting a light or off-center load. On the other hand, your trailer can bottom out on bumpy roads if the load is too heavy. The AEON progressive-rate springs of the Axle-Less suspension always deliver the same reliable performance, no matter the load size. As more weight is added to the trailer, the springs compress and become stiffer, offering more support for heavy loads. And because they rebound more slowly than leaf springs, the AEON springs do a better job of absorbing road shock, thereby keeping your trailer from bouncing and rattling when you're carrying a light load. So with this versatile system you will enjoy a smooth ride whether you're towing an empty trailer or a hefty load.
Unlike leaf springs, Timbren's Axle-Less suspension units operate independently of one another. Each spring activates only when needed. This reduces roll and delivers top-notch performance, even when you're hauling off-center loads. When your trailer with leaf springs takes a turn, one side of the suspension compresses and takes on more weight, and the other side becomes looser and bounces. This causes rattle and can make the trailer lean to one side. But when your trailer with the Axle-Less suspension takes a turn, one side compresses and becomes more rigid to absorb the weight, and the other side expands to normal height to help steady the load and minimize bounce and rattle. The load stays better balanced, even if it is off-center.
Timbren Axle-Less Suspension versus Torsion Axles
Timbren's Axle-Less trailer suspension system is a great alternative to torsion axles. While both systems allow either side of the trailer's suspension to operate independently, only Axle-Less suspensions are actually separate units. Torsion axles still require a bar that spans the bottom of your trailer, whereas Timbren's system can eliminate the need for a thru axle - giving you the same amount of ground clearance from the front of your trailer to the rear. It also allows Axle-Less suspensions to fit any trailer width - unlike torsion axles, which have to be fitted to an exact frame width.
Axle-Less suspensions operate in a smoother, less stressful manner than torsion axles. Torsion axles use a twisting motion, where the bar inside the axle tube rolls against rubber cords or a rubber wall to create compression and resistance. The up-and-down motion of the main spring and the side-to-side motion of the rebound spring in Timbren's Axle-Less suspension work together to provide smooth, consistent compression - with no twisting - that results in a better ride and less stress on the suspension's components.
Installing the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension
Whether you are building a trailer or retrofitting your existing trailer with the Axle-Less system, you must make certain that the trailer's frame is both perfectly square and sturdy enough to support a heavy load without the aid of a thru axle.
There are three ways to install the Axle-Less suspension. The easiest method, which is recommended if you are replacing axles on your trailer, is to install a piece of 2-inch-square tubing (sold separately - available at most weld shops) through the integrated hole in the Axle-Less suspension. Then all you need to do is bolt the suspension to the side of the trailer's frame with three bolts (not included).
The second option for installation is to fabricate an inboard extension plate that attaches the trailer's frame to the Axle-Less suspension.
The third method of installation is to bolt the Axle-Less suspension's hanger to the trailer's frame and to an existing crossmember that is in the area where you want to install the suspension.
With both the second and third options, you must use three bolts to attach the suspension to the side of the frame. And you also have to use two or three bolts to attach the suspension to the bottom of the frame extension, or crossmember. Both the second and third methods of installation will eliminate the need for a thru axle and provide the most clearance.
Timbren's Axle-Less suspension units should be installed directly across from one another. Before mounting the units, measure back from the coupler and mark the frame to make sure that the two distance measurements (A and B) are within 1/8 inch of each other. Then you can drill holes through the frame and attach the hangers with Grade-5, half-inch bolts (not included).

Only been driving around on the axle-less system for about a week now and it has far exceeded expectations. I get better gas mileage, my trailer now sits like it was intended to, my trailer doesn't bounce like it used to, I wouldn't trade this axle system for any other. Just wish I would have known which outboard assembly arm my trailer needed with the axle-less system before I placed my order. Still not a problem though, plan on using the wrong outboard arm to build a different trailer. So far, a great product! 208571

Review from a similar Axle-Less in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
A little bit pricey, at first. But in the long run they are cheaper. We used to bend or break an axle every 3 or 4 months. But we have had these a couple of years now with no problems. One thing that is nice is on a tandem axle set up you can get a flat and you just have to take the wheel off and run on 3 or 2 wheels without the hubs hitting the ground. 593458

Review from a similar Axle-Less in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
Built a custom trailer to haul an ATV on some bad rural roads in Baja. I used the 2" drop axel-less suspension to allow for full size tires and wheels yet keep center of gravity low. Easy to install on exposed frame, but note that a required brace or 2" square steel bar may be needed and sourced on your own. The finish is not very durable and does not survive the normal bumps, wrench scrapes and scratches of installation; plan on some touch up once installed. Pay attention to the spindle clearance and wheel offset. 317250

I installed these on a small jeep style camping trailer that I built. I plated my frame and also used the suggested two inch square tubing to tie them together. It rides very well, looks like it should be very durable, it's a simple design, simple to install, more economical than other independent systems, has less parts to go bad than other systems, I would highly recommend to any body using a trailer on rough roads! 582196

We just drove 1200 miles mostly at 75mph. The axles work very well in all conditions, trailer ride very smoothly.

Review from a similar Axle-Less in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
Timbren Axle-Less Suspension - Spindle Only - Regular Tires - 5200 lbs Item # ASR5200S01 Looks great on empty trailer, idea is good, bad execution. When loaded tires "splay out" severely, excessive tire wear, obviously too much play in system somewhere. 584361
Comments
Excessive camber which causes wear on the portion of the tire tread closest to the trailer can be caused by a few different things. 1 The axle-less suspension system has a 5200 lb per set capacity, so youll want to be sure this amount is not being exceeded. 2 The surface of the trailer that the suspension member is added to needs to be an integral part of the trailer that should have NO give in it whatsoever. Any flexing of the side member there will throw off the camber of the tires. I have seen what you describe occur when the suspension system has been mounted to tubular steel that made up the edge of the trailer frame. In that instance, some angle iron was added to stiffen things up. 3 Its not required, but a piece of 2x3 inch tube steel of the appropriate length can be used as a beam connecting the two sides, utilizing the existing hole in the axle-less suspension member. This will help stiffen things up. 4 The suspension system should have included some shims that can be used where the spindle attaches to the suspension portion of the assembly. Using these shims can decrease the camber, but only if the points mentioned above are taken care of. Ive checked with Timbren regarding the above, and they concur.

Received my order. Quality is very good. Intend to use on fishing shanty frame. I thought that the wire I ordered was 4-wire round, not flat.

Review from a similar Axle-Less in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
I pull my Sea Doo GTX 300 (that means they are pretty heavy!) PWC's from Wisconsin to Florida twice a year. That said, this last trip to Florida caused me to bend the original straight axle on my trailer. Not fun. I ordered the Timbress Axle -less axles, and after a few hours of work on the trailer, they were installed, square and true. I immediately put the Sea Doos on the trailer to see how the trailer performs with the new axle-less system on it. one word: FANTASTIC!!!! I guarantee if I have to fix this issue again, I will use the exact same product. It is awesome! 736299

I bought these to replace an axle on an older trailer that I could not buy a replacement axle from the manufacturer. They are well made, a correct fit and the Customer service could not be better. Due to the careless handling of the shipper, a component of the product was damaged. With a simple phone call, I was able to have a replacement part shipped out that day. I would recommend everyone to shop here before going to their manufacturer! 721618

Review from a similar Axle-Less in Trailer Leaf Spring Suspension
This suspension system did EXACTLY what I wanted. I replaced the leaf springs, axle/hubs on my small trailer. The new suspension improved the capacity, lowered the bed 4+inches, improved ground clearance and allowed me to rebalance the trailer all WITHOUT having to have any welding done. Everything needs to be measured very exactly and the alignment technique is fairly cumbersome and takes a bit of time. In the end, I have a quiet, steady, strong, low riding trailer.

- What Wheel and Brake Sizes Work With Timbren Axle-Less System ASR3500S06It is possible the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4" Lift Spindle - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S06 will work with your wheels and brakes, but it depends on a couple of factors: the bolt pattern of your wheels and the size of your brake assemblies. The hub and drum that fit this system is the Dexter Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 84656UC3-EZ, and let's talk about brakes first. This is a 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide drum which means those are the size of brakes it will work with,...

- Comparing Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Kits for Regular Tires vs. Off-Road TiresThe 3500-lb Timbren axle-less suspension kits # ASR3500S06 (regular tires) and # ASR35HDS01 (off-road tires) differ in that the kit for wider off-road tires provides a 2-inch greater distance from the mounting point on the trailer frame to the hub face. This 8-inch distance versus the 6-inches for the regular tire kit means wider off-road tires will have the necessary clearance to avoid contacting the trailer frame. The linked image for off-road kit # ASR35HDS01 shows the wider 8-inch...

- Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Kits with 4-Inches of LiftThe Timbren axle-less suspension kits are offered in either 4-on-4 or 5-on-4-1/2 bolt patterns; none is available with a 8-on-6-1/2 pattern idler hubs. All such kits are shown on the linked page. Several of these 3500-lb kits, parts # ASR3500S06, # ASR35HDS05 and # ASR35HDS02, offer the 4-inches of lift you want and come without hubs. You can use an idler hub or a hub/drum that takes the same inner and outer bearings.
view full answer... - Will Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Fit a 2000 Prowler 5th Wheel TrailerIf your trailer has just 2 regular 3,500 pound axles now then using Timbren Axle-Less system # ASR3500S06 is an option. It is not recommended though for triple axle applications. The hubs you have now might fit. They will need to use inner bearing L68149 and outer bearing L44649 and a seal with a 1.719 inch inner diameter to fit the spindles on this system. If you need to also replace the hub/drum assemblies then you can use # 84546UC3-EZ. You can go to a larger size tire and wheel...
view full answer... - Will Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System Provide Enough Clearance for ST175/80R13 Tire SizeTo determine if you will have enough clearance for an ST175/80R13 tire size on your Floe trailer you will need to check the space around the tire installation point. An ST175/80R13 tire measures just under 7-inches wide x just over 24-inches in diameter. Since there is 6-inches from the hub face to the frame mounting bracket on the Timbren kit this tire will fit. You'll also need to account for the normal deflection of the Timbren rubber suspension, which is typically up to 1-3/4-inches...

- Can Timbren ASR3500S06 Axle-Less Suspension System Bolt to 10' Storage Container to Create TrailerIt's likely that you could add the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System to a 10 foot shipping container to create an enclosed trailer, as long as the combined weight of the container and what you're planning on loading it up with won't exceed its 3500 lb weight capacity. Additionally, I'm not terribly familiar with how rigid a storage container is at the bottom edges, you might need to fabricate some sort of subframe to make the structure more rigid. For hub/drums, I'd recommend # 84546UC3-EZ...

The Timbren Axle-Less System rated a 7,000 lbs are only available with straight spindles, part # TASR7KS01 or 4 inch drop spindles part # TASR7KS02.

Instead, what you can do is replace your hangers with longer ones, or go with a Timbren axle-less system. You will get 4" of lift by using # ASR3500S06, which has a capacity of 3,500 lbs, or a similar unit to replace your axle's capacity. I've added a link to our selection of hangers as well as each of our Timbren systems for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Timbren Axle Less System Recommendation for Off Road Trailer with 5 on 5 inch Bolt PatternWe don't have a ton of hubs with a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern, but if you went with a 3,500 lb Timbren system like part # ASR3500S06 you could use the part # 84556UC3 for a hub/drum or part # 84550BX for just a hub. The # ASR3500S06 has a 4 inch lift built into it so it would be great for an offroad trailer.
view full answer... - 2020 Aliner Expedition Suspension Upgrade for Dexter 3,500 lb Torsion AxleBased on the specifications that Dexter gave me for your axle, your axle is a 3,500 lbs torsion axle. We do not carry torsion axles, so the best upgrade for your trailer would be an axle-less suspension system. The axle-less system will be far easier to install and set up compared to a traditional straight-axle and leaf spring suspension system. It also provides more ground clearance and better ride quality. Since there is no axle connecting them, it allows the springs to absorb road shock...
view full answer... - 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern Hub and Drum Recommendation for the Timbren Axle-Less System # ASR3500S06All you would need is the correct 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern hub/drums and brake assemblies to go along with the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR3500S06 and you would be good to go. For a hub with the correct capacity and bolt pattern that would fit the spindles of the # ASR3500S06 you would want the Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly # 84556UC3. I attached an install video for you to check out. For brake assemblies you would want the part # 23-26 for the left hand side...
view full answer... - Recommended Axle-Less Suspension System for Haulmark TS6X12DS2 We do have an option for you, but do not carry any axles of that specification. Instead, for your Haulmark TS6X12DS2 I recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System, which are simply bolted or welded so you do not have to worry about finding an axle that meets any specific measurements. You can also get one with a straight spindle or a lift spindle: - Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - Straight Spindle Only - 3,500 lbs # ASR3500S05 - Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension...
