Question:
I am building an off-road tear trailer and am looking at Timbrens independent axles. I would like to use a wheel that utilizes 6x5.5 spacing, is there a hub that will work for 6x5.5 on a timbren axle? looking at 3,500lb trailer. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
Yes, there is a 3,500lb Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension that will allow you to use trailer hubs with a 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern but you will need to use the Heavy-Duty version part # ASR35HDS01. This system has larger spindles which will be compatible with trailer hubs that have the bolt pattern you requested. If you just need idler hubs and do not have brakes then you can use the Dexter Trailer Idler Hub Assembly part # 8-213-5UC1-EZ which uses a 25580 inner and LM67048 outer bearing.
I have attached a review video of both the axle-less system and hubs for you as well.
