Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Suspension System, # TASR7KS01, is compatible with aluminum trailer frames. I recommend that when installing the system that you use rubber shims the fit between the steel of the Timbren axles and the aluminum frame to prevent galvanic corrosion. The included hardware will work for the steel on aluminum application.
The Timbren system will give you more under trailer clearance due to no axle tube under the trailer. The Timbren system's AEON rubber spring technology will deliver a smooth, stable ride for your trailer.
