Is the 3500LB Per Axle or for the pair? Are disk brakes available on these?

Expert Reply:

The 3,500 lb weight capacity of the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System, # A35RD545E, is the weight capacity for the pair, not per side.

Disc brakes can be used with the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension systems, however, Timbren does not offer an axle-less suspension kit with disc brakes. If you want to use disc brakes, I recommend buying the Axle-Less Suspension System - 3,500 lbs, # ASR3500S04, and the Kodiak Disc Brake Kit - 3,500 lbs, # K2HR35D. Buying the Timbren Axle-Less Suspension system without the hub and buying the disc brakes separately will save you money over buying a kit that includes a hub and buying the disc brakes separately.
