Question:

I have a narrow canoe trailer. I roughly guessed the axle hub width at about 39 inches. Do you have an axle that fits that width? I cant find a tire that fits 4x3.75ish.

Expert Reply:

I may have an option that will work for you, but the narrowest standard axle we offer is just over 57" long.

Instead I recommend taking a look at the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension which are available in quite a few different weight ratings.

There the 1200lb # ASR1200S02 which uses the same idler hub # 8-91-05UC1-EZ, and the 2000lb # A20RS545 which comes with idler hubs with the 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern already installed.

The Timbren systems bolt directly to the frame of your trailer and replace your current leaf spring suspension with progressive rate main springs that do a great job at absorbing road shock which leads to a much smoother ride.

I included a video of the Timbren systems for you to take a look at.
