Question:

Your website mentions a 4inch lift, does the 4inch lift mean that there is a total of 4inch of suspension travel? And if the trailer and weight of the cargo compress this 2inch that would only leave 2inch of suspension of travel? Is this correct? Is there an adjustment to get the full 4inch after the cargo has been loaded? How do you get more suspension?

For a hub that has a 5 on 5 inch bolt pattern to fit the spindles of the Timbren axle less kit part # ASR2KHDS03 you would want the Trailer Hub part # AKIHUB-550-35-K. This hub includes the bearings that the Timbren is designed to fit. This setup has a 4 inch lift and the hubs have the 5 on 5 inch Jeep bolt pattern.

The 4 inches of lift is the additional distance this kit has between where it mounts to the trailer frame and where a typical axle would sit. The suspension travel is not affected as that's related to the spring. The axle uncompressed will sit 7-1/2 inches from the trailer frame surface and the standard suspension deflection is 1-5/8 inch when compressed.
