The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System part # TASR7KS01 could be used to replace the axles and suspension on a Keystone Montana 5th Wheel Trailer. However, this would require changing the entire geometry of the suspension which is a rather complex install. If you are up for the task and depending on what you are wanting an axle-less system for this could be a viable option. There won't be any issues as far as weight capacity goes if that is what you are asking.

That said, if what you are looking for is increased ride quality I recommend checking out the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension System part # TSR7000T05 which simply replaces the leaf springs with a set of rubber springs that work to absorb road shock and support the trailer's load better.
