Question:
Im building a trailer to match with my truck. Im interested in the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Standard Duty - 4 - 5 Bolt Flange - 5,200 lbs with the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes - Self-Adjusting - 12 - Left/Right Hand - 5.2K to 7K. I am running a 40/13.5R17 on the truck with a Ford Dana 60 with a bolt pattern of 8 on 170. I didnt see any drum/hub combos in this configuration. Do you carry such a hub? Im attempting to keep all tires on both the trailer and truck matching so I have dont need to keep separate spare tires and use different rim.

Hey Stephen, the closest bolt pattern we have to an 8 on 170mm is an 8 on 6 1/2. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # ASR5200S01 is compatible with an 8 on 6 1/2 bolt pattern and will work great with the Easy Grease Trailer Hub and Drum Assembly for 5.2K - 7K Axles # AKHD-865-7-2-EZ-K & the etrailer Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-SA.
