Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out. We definitely have an option for that. Based on the specs you provided, I'd recommend the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension - Standard Duty - 4" Lift - 5 Bolt Flange - 5,200 lbs # TASR5200S03.

This system gives you about 4 inches of additional ground clearance, which is a big improvement for steep driveways like yours. It also replaces the traditional leaf spring suspension with an independent suspension, so each wheel moves on its own. That helps improve ride quality, reduces stress on the trailer frame, and gives you more clearance under the axle area.

To complete the setup, you'll also need Dexter Electric Trailer Brakes # AKEBRK-7-SA and Easy Grease Hub-and-Drum Assemblies # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. Together, those components give you a complete axle-less suspension and brake system.

The Timbren system works great on tandem-axle trailers like your Salem 24VIEW. The one thing to keep in mind is that this is a fairly involved installation since the existing axles and spring hangers are removed and the Timbren units are welded directly to the trailer frame. Once installed, though, it's an excellent upgrade if your goal is more ground clearance and a smoother ride.

We do offer installation services here at our shop in Wentzville, MO. If that's too far for you, we may have an installer near you. I've included a link to our installer locator for you below. Just enter your zip code and it'll show you the full list of qualified installers nearest you.
