Thanks for reaching out, Shawn!
The 2K Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension w/ Idler Hubs # A20RS545 is a great fit for you, provided that your current axle is only rated for 2K. If you have a 3.5K axle then you'll want the Kit # A35RS545 for idler hubs or the Kit # A35RS545E for electric brakes (if your current setup uses brakes).
You'll be able to add a 2"x2" crosstube to any of these kits, but that's something that you'll have to supply on your end.
When it comes to the installation side of things, I recommend checking out the info we have documented on our product pages as they have a lot of details to take note of.

Hey Shawn, how did the Timbren axle-less suspension end up working on your bass boat trailer? I'm curious if it helped smooth out the ride on those longer highway trips. Your feedback could really help others looking to upgrade from leaf springs.
