Hi guys, first time poster! Such a huge amount of knowledge here, I am overwhelmed, what an awesome resource
Ok, so, I am starting an adventure trailer build. I am doing this from a standpoint of buying and selecting everything I want to go in or on it before any frame and box plans are even drawn up. I have already seen something here that saved me a huge amount of time and headache.
I was going to build a trailing arm suspension with airbags and Rancho 9000 shocks, but I saw another poster used Timbren Axles on his. Looks like $900 with hubs and brakes for an 8 on 6.5 bolt pattern, (H1 wheels and 37" tires) I can have my suspension and hubs and brakes done and out the door!
Anyone use Timbren with Hummer wheels? Will they fit without an adapter? There is 8.25" from hubface to the inside of the tire.
While I am capable of designing and building a trailing arm suspension, it will cost me just as much, possibly more than the Timbren. And the headache of having it done is huge! Are there other similar options I should be considering?
I am open to suggestion, opinions, criticism etc, I have built trailers before, but this adventure trailer idea is new to me.
Will be posting pics as we roll along.
