Question:
Hello I’m looking at the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Standard Duty - No - 4 Bolt Flange - 2,000 lbs Im building a light weight trailer for hunting. What is the best option for hubs. I was wanting to use adapters for 5x150mm to have the same lug pattern as my truck Will using an adapter like 5x4 1/2 to 5x150mm be to much for the timbres spindles. It would be an 18” wheel 265/75/18. Also is this the model timbres half axle you would recommend I don’t see ever putting more than 1000 pounds in the trailer.

Hi Ulysses, that sounds like an awesome hunting trailer project.
For a trailer that will weigh around 1,000 pounds loaded, the Timbren Axle Less Trailer Suspension, Part # ASR2000S02, is the right choice. I recommend pairing it with the Easy Grease Trailer Idler Hub Assembly, Part # AKIHUB-545-35-G-EZ-K. I do not recommend using a 5 on 4 1/2 to 5 on 150 mm wheel adapter. Wheel adapters move the wheel farther away from the hub, which increases the load placed on the spindle and bearings. Combined with a larger, heavier truck wheel and tire, that is not a setup I would recommend.
I also would not use an 18 inch wheel with the ASR2000S02. This suspension is intended for smaller trailer wheels, so I recommend sticking with a 14 inch trailer wheel and tire combination like the Goodyear Endurance ST205/75R14 mounted on the Eagle Aluminum Wheel, Part # GY57QB. It will provide excellent performance while staying within the design limits of the suspension.
If matching your truck's 18 inch wheels is a must, then I recommend stepping up to the Timbren Axle Less Trailer Suspension Heavy Duty Long Spindle, Part # T74CR. That is the Timbren system designed to accommodate larger wheel and tire combinations like the 265/75R18 you mentioned. Even though it is more suspension than your trailer needs from a weight capacity standpoint, it is the right choice for safely running that size wheel and tire.
I'd love to hear more about the trailer you're building. What kind of hunting trips will it be used for, and what type of terrain do you expect it to see most?
