Question:

Id like to know how much the Timbren axle-less part # ASR2KHDS01actully weighs? Your shipping weight is shown to be 60 lbs. while Timbren shows a shipping weight of 88 lbs. A 28 pound difference. Pictures of the part would be helpful too. Particularly one showing the brake mounting flange. I may use them for a tear trailer suspension and am interested because it can have 10inch hubs and brakes.

I contacted the technical staff at Timbren regarding the actual shipping weight of their Heavy-Duty Axle-Less Trailer Suspension, part # ASR2KHDS01. They confirmed the 88-lb shipping weight.

I inquired about availability of photos and/or more detailed engineering drawings of this part but none are available from the manufacturer. As of this moment we do not have any piece of this part in-house that is not committed to an order so I cannot photograph one for you.

However, the team at Timbren did confirm that this suspension kit uses industry-standard 4-bolt brake mounting flanges. I pulled from inventory a sample of a compatible 10-inch drum brake assembly, part # 23-26, and on the photo provided I have indicated the measurements of the mounting bolt spacing. The 4 bolts are spaced in a square pattern 2-7/8-inches apart, center to center.
