Question:

Hello, I need to purchase a set of 4" drop axles from you. I have the measurements of the original - 5.2K. What's the best way to proceed? Thanks!

Thank you for the photo!

While we do have axle rated for 5.2K lbs, the only viable option we have for you is the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # ASR5200S04. This comes with a 4" drop and a brake flange that matches what you have so you'll be able to use your current brakes and hub/drums.

I like this system over a standard axle because it gives you better ride quality and control plus it can help with ground clearance since you may not need a crosstube.

Attached is an installation video for you to check out. If you want to use the same exact type of axles you have now you'll need to reach out to your local trailer or RV dealer so they can custom order something for you as none of our standard-type axles match your specs.
