The Timbren Axle Less kits like the part # TASR1THDS04 that has a 4 inch lift and a 2.2k capacity can install on basically any trailer but they do not install a like a normal axle.

There are three ways to install the Axle-Less suspension. The easiest method, which is recommended if you are replacing axles on your trailer, is to install a piece of 2-inch-square tubing (sold separately - available at most weld shops) through the integrated hole in the Axle-Less suspension. Then all you need to do is bolt the suspension to the side of the trailer's frame with three bolts (not included).

The second option for installation is to fabricate an inboard extension plate that attaches the trailer's frame to the Axle-Less suspension.

The third method of installation is to bolt the Axle-Less suspension's hanger to the trailer's frame and to an existing crossmember that is in the area where you want to install the suspension.

With both the second and third options, you must use three bolts to attach the suspension to the side of the frame. And you also have to use two or three bolts to attach the suspension to the bottom of the frame extension, or crossmember. Both the second and third methods of installation will eliminate the need for a thru axle and provide the most clearance.

For more details on how they install check out the instruction links I attached to this page as well.
