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…
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…
You can use leaf springs that are rated higher than the axle without any issues as long as they measure the correct measurement for your trailer. For example the 6-leaf double eye spring for 7,000 lb axles part #e64SR measures 24-7/8" eye to…
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…
Hey Charles! For your 2012 Work and Play WPT21UL, that “95.5 / 75” on the LCI 4,400-lb tag means 95.5" hub-face and 75" spring-center. You won’t see that exact axle everywhere, but upgrading to a 5,200-lb axle is a solid path. The common…

Enhance Your Trailer's Ride with Rubber Spring Suspension
Rubber Spring Suspension offers a smooth, quiet ride, perfect for off-road adventures and heavy-duty use. It's a reliable choice for those seeking durability and improved ride quality, with options for both bolt-on and weld installations.
Rubber Spring Suspension provides a quieter, smoother ride compared to traditional leaf springs. It's rust-resistant, making it ideal for use in wet or salty environments. The suspension's design allows for better ground clearance and is perfect for off-road conditions.
While Rubber Spring Suspension increases ground clearance by eliminating the axle, it can make the trailer sit lower overall. This might require adjustments to the hitch height to maintain a level trailer. It's a trade-off for improved ride quality and handling.
Installation can be challenging but manageable with the right tools. Options to bolt or weld the suspension provide flexibility. Accurate measurements and sharp drill bits are crucial, and a drill press guide can help ensure correct angles. Pre-assembly checks can prevent fitment issues.
Rubber Spring Suspension excels in off-road conditions, offering a robust and independent system that handles rough terrain well. It's simple to maintain and provides excellent ride quality, making it a top choice for overland trailers and those frequently on trails.
Regular greasing after each trip is recommended to ensure smooth operation. Checking for any signs of wear or misalignment is also important. With proper maintenance, the suspension can outlast the trailer itself, providing long-term reliability.
