Show us your Axle-Less Suspension!

Awesome!

 

Let us know how they perform with it being on the heavy side. We're always interested in how our products are working for our customers.

 

Trailer finished with roof top tent.

 

Actual suspension pictures of the Kimberley Kamper. Dual A arms fitted with airbags and 2” Fox shocks.

 

Beefy! Looking good.

 

The drivers side arm twisted while my customer was in Death Valley. The lift spindle is not bent. The trailer will be getting real suspension next. Either a arms and bags or leaf springs with shocks.

 

What the?

how did it happen were they bombing down a road fast or slow rock crawling? are those the 1 tonne axles? I just bought the 5200 lb axles so I could run my Tacoma wheels, I hope i dont have that issue!

 

1tonhds03 long arms with 4 inch lift spindle.

It bent somewhere inbetween the water fall in Gholer wash and stripped butte. This was the trailers 2nd time through Gholer. Prior trips were Mojave trail, carrizo and southern Death Valley. About 1700 miles on it so far.

The owner is pretty conservative when it comes to off road, most of his adventures are solo trips.

You will like the 6000 pound breaks. You will probably be at 1 on your break controller.

 

So here is where Im at on my build! this weekend Ill throw on the axles and lights, might even get around to doing the fender and skirts.



im trying to decide if i want tabs added to have something to bolt the floor to!

 

A suggestion, add lash points in as many places you can as they will allow you to modify your tie down plan in many other ways. One ready made product that I really like using is “L track,” or as its commonly referred to, “aircraft tie down track.” It takes very little space but offers limitless possibilities. As you can see I’m a real stickler about safe storage of cargo and making certain not to lose it.

 

Hey man, sorry to see you’re having an issue with your Axle-Less trailer suspension. To help try and solve this issue, can you tell if the main bolt (at the pivot point) is loose? Is the trailing arm bent? Does it look like the twist is coming from the bushing at the pivot point of the suspension? Also, when was the last time you greased the bushings? Any info you can provide would help us solve the issue.

 

The plastic bushing at the pivot point has failed. It has more than a quarter inch of play. There was plenty of grease on all parts. I won’t know until later in the day if the arm is twisted.

Can this whole arm be swapped out to a 3500 pound unit? Or at a minimum the compression bushing swapped to a higher payload unit and pivot bushing replaced with a new one and or a stronger one.

Probably should moved this to email or pm so we don’t clutter this thread up. I emailed timbren a month ago about the rebound stops bending and am still waiting for a response from your engineers.

Thank you for emailing us! We'll have our customer service team get you taken care of and get back in touch with you ASAP.

 

@Timbren-Industries has anybody retrofitted this suspension to a Taxa Tiger Moth with a C channel frame. I have been considering it and to run Toyota wheels just not quite sure yet what would need to be done. Box that section of the frame maybe? The whole camper weighs maybe 1500 pounds at the most with no brakes it's pretty lite. It has a Dexter axel now with a 2.5" lift and I don't want to go much more than that. I don't mind overkill with the suspension as far as weight capacity goes

 

Casper66,

After talking to our support team, the Axle-Less would work if it’s bolted to the channel as long as there is a cross member above the aeon spring and the cross bar that connects the left and right suspension together. Please shoot us a DM and i can get you in touch with support to clear anything else up if needed!

Hopefully this helps!

 

Thank you for tour response as I get closer to doing this I will contact your tech support
