The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, part # A20RS545, is rated for a total of 2,000 pounds. Essentially, it's designed to work in place of a suspension system and a 2,000 pound standard axle.

If you need a 3,500 pound system use part # A35RS545 that has idler hubs with the same 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern. If you want to add brakes instead use part # A35RS545E that includes the hub and drums, as well as the brake assemblies.

There really isn't anything to retrofit. You just replace the current system with the higher rated system. And all of our prices are on the respective product pages.

I've linked a review video of the Timbren systems for you as well.

You do need an electric brake controller installed in your tow vehicle to power the trailer's brakes. I recommend using the Prodigy P3 # 90195 because of its reliability and ease of use. There may be an adapter to install the P3 by just plugging in available depending on the vehicle. If you can tell me the year, make, and model I can see if there is one. The trailer also needs a 7-way connector. We offer a kit that includes the 7-way, a junction box, and ring terminals to make the connections easy. It's part # e99011. For wiring from the junction box to the brake assemblies use 10 gauge wire, like part # 10-2-1 which is sold by the foot.
