Does Timbren Silent Ride Suspension Bolt Directly To Trailer Frame
Updated 09/11/2026 | Published 09/07/2026
Question:
Does product TSR7000T04 bolt directly to the trailer frame or is it suggested to weld on a mounting block like the RV in the product pictures? Currently, I have a 14 TA with the axles mounted to the frame of the trailer, no leaf springs, no suspension, no nothin! Just raw-dogging the road.

Hey Sid! The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension # TSR7000T04 is designed to bolt directly to the trailer frame, so you don't have to weld on a mounting block like the one shown in the customer photos. That's just how that particular customer chose to install their system.
However, depending on the design of your trailer frame, additional reinforcement may be required. I've attached a diagram from the installation instructions below so you can see how Timbren shows the suspension mounted to the frame.
What kind of trailer do you have that’s been raw-dogging the road all this time?
