Hey Randy. So long as your Ford 6-lug wheels are 6 on 5-1/2 and not 6x135mm, you can use the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly for 3.5K Axles - 6 on 5-1/2 item # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K. This hub has inner bearing item # L68149 (1.378" inner diameter) and Outer bearing item # L44649 (1.063" inner diameter), which would fit the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension systems item # A35RS545E you were looking at.
If your wheels have the Ford 6x135mm pattern, I don't think it's going to work. The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension systems like item # A35RS545E are designed for trailer hubs. The Ford 6-bolt pattern is 6x135mm whereas a trailer 6-lug hub is a 6 on 5-1/2 so the wheels aren't going to fit. The spindle size on the Timbren's is different than the ID diameter of a Ford hub. You would need to cut off your spindles and replace them with the correct size to fit a Ford hub.
I've linked a faq article below that shows you how to measure your lug nut pattern.
What specific Timbren system does your trailer have? If you can get me a part number off of it, I can confirm the item # AKIHUB-655-35-EZ-K is going to fit.
