Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less suspension system is a good choice. They offer a 4 inch drop spindle model, part # A35RD545 includes idler hubs and # A35RD545E includes electric brake hub drums. These are good for a total 3500 lb capacity, which includes the weight of the vehicle and the trailer.
This would be a good option for a car carrying trailer with a low deck height. At rest, the center of the spindle would sit even with the bottom of the trailer frame, and at maximum deflection, the center of the spindle would sit about 1-3/4 inches higher than the bottom of the trailer frame.
The smallest wheel diameter that the idler and brake hub drum would accommodate is a 13 inch.
