Question:
I want to build a 4foot x 8foot low deck trailer for hauling a 600 pound motorcycle and double as a utility trailer for hauling the odd sheets of plywood. I would like as low a deck as possible and noticed your imbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System with Hubs - 5 on 4-1/2 - Regular Tires - 2,000 lbs. Would these work well with the Kenda 205/65-10 Bias Trailer Tire with 10inch Galvanized Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C? I want to have a ramp for loading the motorcycle and I need to keep the both the weight and the height to a minimum. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions.

Expert Reply:
The Timbren Axle-Less Suspension # ASR2KHDS04 will work with the Kenda wheels/tires you referenced provided you select a hub that is compatible with both.
Dexter Trailer Hub Assembly # 84545UC1-EZ that you referenced is compatible with the bearings in the Timbren system and uses the same bolt pattern as the tire/wheel you referenced, part # AM3H400 from Kenda.
Another option is to use an axle with drop spindles or a torsion axle with 0 degree articulation. These methods will provide lower deck height.
