The # TSR3500S05 Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Single Axle Trailers is designed so that it can be installed wherever you need it on the trailer frame. This should allow you the flexibility to install it and keep your wheel in the same position it was already in. It does, however, require a 2" x 2" hollow steel crossmember with 3/16" wall thickness.

If you already have the steel crossmember and that is where the concern for the wheel placement comes from, the distance from the center of the axle to the pivot point on the pivot arm is 15 inches.

I have attached a video review including installation for your reference.
