Our Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # A35RD545 is going to be the only axle system we currently carry that would fit your trailer for your Mako Pro Skiff. This system allows you to replace a traditional axle and its suspension components with independent units. The frame to hub face measures 6" while the spindle center line is 1/4" below the frame when there is no weight thanks to the 4" drop spindle. The included hubs have a 5 on 4-1/2" bolt pattern which you will want to confirm matches you current axle.
