Question:
I have a 2016 Keystone Premiere travel trailer equipped with 4400# axles. Id like to upgrade to an independent suspension with disk brakes as well as bump up the axle capacity? Is this possible?

Expert Reply:
Yes, it's possible to upgrade the suspension on this trailer for one with independent movements, an upgraded capacity, and disc brakes. That said, it won't be cheap and it won't be easy. However, if you have the funds and are willing to take on the task I have attached all of the parts you will need below for this.
Timbren Axle-Less Suspension part # ASR5200S01
Kodiak Disc Brakes part # KOD69FR
Hydrastar Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator Kit part # HBA16-252-82
The Timbren system will give you a new suspension and axles with intendent operation for a smooth ride and stable ride. The Kodiak and Hydrastar kits will then provide you with electric over hydraulic disc brakes for increased stopping power.
