Question:

This kit is what I need but where it mount to the trailer won’t work on mine. I got an I-beam style trailer that is aluminum, do y’all make a kit for mounting on I-beam trailers

In order to use Timbren Silent Ride Suspension # TSR2000S06 with an I-beam frame the frame would have to be boxed where the Silent Ride would install. To do that a professional welder would have to weld on aluminum blocks to box the frame. There isn't a kit designed for I-beam frames. Installation requires a 2" x 2" hollow steel crossmember with 1/8" wall thickness. If you can achieve that then you can use the Silent Ride.
