Question:

I am looking to replace my suspension on my 1972 Amerigo fiberglass RV. 16ft, 2000lbs unladened weight, current tongue weight is less than 300. I have been looking at Timbren axle less systems. I want a 4 inch lift, due to rough country camping, but I only see a straight and a 4inch with electric brake hubs. I prefer electric over drum, but prefer a lift over electric if that is the only option. Are the drums electric or hydraulic/inertia style? Basically, what is/are my best options Google Amerigo FG16 to see how close to the ground they ride.

Expert Reply:

Best option would be the Timbren Axle Less kit part # ASR35HDS05 which has a 3,500 lb capacity and has a 4 inch lift built into it. It has brake flanges on the spindle already too so all you need to do is attach the hydraulic style of assemblies you want as well as install the hub/drums.

For a hub you'd need the part # 8-201-9UC3-EZ and for brake assemblies part # AKFBBRK-7R for the right hand side and part # AKFBBRK-7L for the left hand side.
