Question:

I want to change my hubs to a 5 lug, I measured the tapered spindles inner diameter is 30.20 mm outer diameter is 19.20 mm. The bearings currently on it are inner sz Timken 15118 and the outer bearing is a 09074 Timken. Do you have the hubs I would need?

I do have an option for you but we do not have any 5-lug hubs with the bearings that you listed because they are not common sizes. I don't think you are going to be able to find a new 5-lug hub that uses these bearings because again they are not very common therefore the only option you really have to obtain a 5-lug hub is with a new axle.

For this, I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System. This system will be ideal for a military trailer because there is no axle beam so you can take it offroad without many clearance issues. It will also ride pretty much the same unloaded as it would loaded due to the integrated rebound spring. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System is offered in 1,200 - 7,000 lb capacities as well as with 4" drop, straight, and 4" rise spindles.

For example, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # A35RS545 has a 3,500 lb capacity, a straight spindle, and comes with 5 on 4-1/2" idler hubs.
