Experiencing Rough Ride with 2,200 lb Timbren Axle-Less Suspension Installed on 1,300 lb Tear Drop
Updated 12/30/2020 | Published 05/04/2019
Question:
Just install this axle on my tear trailer and I notice my trailer ride rougher compare to my old torsion axle which ride really smooth with or without load, the reason I switch is because I needed the height, my trailer weight around 1300lb dry weight, is the rough ride normal for these axle

I just spoke with my contact at Timbren who said that if you are towing your trailer dry right now at the 1,300 lbs then that is why it is a little rough. Since the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR1THDS03 is rated for 2,200 lbs you need to put more weight in your trailer. Once you have some more load in your trailer you will start to experience the performance of the AEON progressive-rate main springs.
