What Is The Axle To Frame Clearance When Timbren Silent Ride TSR10KT02 Is Installed?

Question

Question:

The illustration shows 6-1/2 inch between the bottom of the frame and axle centerline. Is this the ride height at rated load? And, what is the fully compressed height? Thanks.

I reached out to my contact at Timbren and on the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 3" Round Axles - 10,000 lbs # TSR10KT02, the 6-1/2" measurement from the center of your 3" axle to the bottom of the frame is with the trailer unloaded.

When the arms are fully compressed there will be 2" of clearance.

I included a video of the # TSR10KT02 for you to take a look at.

We would definitely be able to upgrade to a higher capacity Leaf Spring or Silent Ride set up. That being said, we do not carry torsion axles, so we do not have a bolt on upgrade available. The axle #8327820-EB would upgrade you to 5,200 pounds per…

The first thing to consider is if the axle(s) are actually bent. Trailer axles have a bow in them so they are higher at the center than at the ends. When under load the axles straighten out some. That is part of how they get their capacities. If the…
