The side loads for turning will tear up the bushing on the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System # TASR7KS01 if it were used for a triple axle setup. I reached out to my contact at Timbren who gave me this information.

If you are wanting to add another axle to your trailer you need to stick with a traditional setup which will require you to reconfigure hanger locations and where your axles sit. I have attached a link to a helpful article regarding adding axles to a trailer as well as a link to our selection of suspension components that you can filter through for your application.
