Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension you mentioned, part # A20RS440 uses idler hubs, not drum brake hubs. They lack a brake mounting flange, so drums could not easily be added.
To use a brake assembly, you would need to upgrade to a 3500 lb capacity, like part # A35RS545E for a straight spindle or # A35RD545E for a 4 inch drop spindle. Both systems would use a wheel with a bolt pattern of 5 lugs on a 4-1/2 inch bolt circle.
