Hey Philip, you can definitely use the Timbren Axle Less kit part # TASR5200S05 in a tandem axle setup but you would not want to alternate directions of the kit. You would need both axles to have the rubber spring facing the rear of the trailer for the suspension to function properly. Otherwise this would be a really solid option for a tandem axle trailer. What axles are on the trailer currently?

Yes, you can use the over/under conversion kit #K71-385-00 to move the axles to the tops of the leaf spring stacks. Dexter has the following note on the conversion kits: When converting from underslung to overslung, the installation of bump stops to…

It is definitely not recommended to drill a hole in your pin box to add another set of rows. The height of your pin box and hitch will be adjustable to an extent and then you will need to adjust the axles for further leveling. My recommendation is to…

I'm surprised they put a 3,500 lb axle on your 2022 R-Pod RP-153 so I definitely share your concerns about the safety of the whole thing. Generally they count the tongue weight as taking on some of the total weight of the trailer, and while this…

I have another option for you, but the only hub and drum assemblies available with the 6 on 5-1/2" bolt pattern are only rated for wheels up to 16-1/2" diameter and are not designed to work with 17" wheels. Starting with the axle for…
