For hub drums that will work perfectly with the Timbren 3,500 Axle-Less System # ASR3500S04 referenced in your question I recommend the etrailer.com # AKHD-5475-35-K. These hubs are compatible with the spindles on the Timbren system and their 5 on 4-3/4 inch bolt pattern will fit your existing wheels.
Then for hydraulic brake assemblies that will work with these hubs I recommend the etrailer.com # AKUBRK-35R for the Right Side and # AKFBBRK-35L for the Left Side. These particular assemblies have a free-backing design so that you can back up the trailer without engaging the brakes.
This is all you will need to add hubs and hydraulic brakes to the Timbren System. I have attached a few short video reviews on these products that you can check out as well. I have also attached a link that will take you to our available selection of surge couplers for hydraulic drum brakes that you can look through if needed.
