Can Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension Be Installed on L-Shaped Frame
Updated 10/30/2025 | Published 09/28/2025
Question:
I have a Carry On 5x8SP utility trailer with a 2000lb axle. I was looking to upgrade to the timbren axles but i notice that all the installation videos, guides, etc. show installations done on a boxed frame. The Carry On 5x8SP has an L frame so i wanted to check first before purchasing if these axles will work without a boxed frame. Thanks in advance, Charles

Hey Charles! Yes, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension # A20RS545 can be installed on your L-Shaped trailer frame. If the upright on the frame is towards the outside of the trailer then you can install the system directly. Otherwise, you will need to fill in that space with something like a 2x4 or other material so the Timbren bracket has something to sit against.

Hey Charles, how did the install go with the Timbren Axle-Less suspension on your L-frame trailer? It’d be great to hear if adding the spacer worked out as expected. Your update could make it easier for others with the same frame style.
