Updated 04/27/2018 | Published 04/26/2018 >
Question:
Hello I have an 18 foot 3500 Lbs Tandem Axels Car Hauler Trailer with Steel Deck on it and would like to Lower the Height of the Trailer Deck bringing it lower. The Axels on it now are 3500 lbs 89inch Straight Axels. I was thinking of replacing them with Axels similar in size. What is the Lowest Axels do you recomend and have? I have seen some with a 5inch . Any suggestions and Parts number please? Thanking you

Best solution we have is the Timbren Axle Less system with 4 inch drop part # A35RD545E which has a 3,500 lb capacity and would work well. This isn't a standard style axle as it attaches directly to the frame and does not have a cross tube, but it will work great and give you the drop you need. It also comes with hub/drums as well.
I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well.
