According to Blue Ox, it'll take an experienced installer about 4 to 5 hours to complete the installation of their #BX1128 Base Plate Kit on a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The install isn't what I'd call super-difficult, but the installation…
Thanks for your question, Steve. Installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System #T76FR wouldn’t eliminate the need for a weight distribution system if your setup calls for one, they actually serve two different purposes. A weight…
Thank you for providing the specs for the suspension components that you already have. Correct hanger spacing really depends on the components being used such as springs, hangers and equalizers. Most of the hanger spacing dimensions that we have are…
In order to determine the torque rating for the lug nuts on your trailer you will need to know check out the chart I attached that shows all of the torque specs for all the trailer lugs available based on stud size, wheel material and wheel size.
Not another one! Just kidding Dirk! I was in the Marines I enjoy these conversion questions on the M1101 trailers. I'd be more than happy to list the parts you need, along with quantity, and confirm compatibility. 1 - Timbren Axle-Less Trailer…
Hey Mike. We only have axles with 58" spring seats like the Trailer Axle with Idler Hubs item #e37YR. You can remove the spring seats and reinstall the Spring Seat for Typical 2,000-lb, Round Trailer Axles item #TRSS175 so they are a 1/4"…
Hi Paul, you’re definitely on the right track here, and I can help you narrow this down with confidence. With your tandem 3,500 lb Dexter axles and 33 inch spacing, both the Dexter EZ Flex part #K71-652-00 and the Lippert Road Armor part #LC53CK are…

Hey Oleksiy, I have a suspension enhancement kit that does fit your 2019 Freightliner M2 with the Timbren kit part #TFRM2A but we don't have any air bag kits that fit your M2. Would you be open to the Timbren kit? It doesn't require…
Sorry Doug, you're right. I went off of the 7k axle rating and didn't thoroughly check, sorry about that. Those are 7,200 lb hubs that use 12-1/4" x 2-1/2" brakes. I'm not sure if there are self-adjusting, we only have the…
Hello Greg, thanks for reaching out. Sadly, we do not offer any replacement rubber springs for the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension. Your best bet would be to reach out directly to Timbren for that. I believe they can provide them. The rubber…
It sounds like you are speaking of the wires for the brake magnets. If this is correct, you will need to connect one of the wires to the brake controller output wire on your trailer connector and the other wire will need to be grounded to a clean…
