Question:
I have a 2008 Fleetwood Cobalt I want to pull behind my Jeep with the wheels and tires on the trailer to match the Jeeps so I can share spare tires. The campers gross weight should be right around 2,000 lbs. and I would like about 4inch of lift. The camper is equipped with electronic safety brakes with a break-away cable activation. Not sure if I can re-use that mechanism or not? May want to upgrade to actual tow vehicle brakes later. Also, need 5 on 5.5 hubs to match the Jeep. I can get a different bolt pattern and drill out if necessary, as long as the hub face is flat.

We've had this question a few times in the past and we have been told a few times by Jeep owners that the Jeep bolt pattern is 5 on 5 inch which we'd have a solution for with the 2k Axle Less Timbren kit part # ASR2KHDS03 that you are interested.
For a hub and drum that fits that axle kit and has the correct bolt pattern you'd want the part # AKHD-550-35-EZ-K.
For brake assemblies you'd then want the part # 23-468-469.
