DIY trailer build

[highwest]

My main gripe with it is the Timbren suspension. It still has too much camber, and the ride is quite bouncy. It is quiet, no rattling or squeaking which is great, but I can't imagine taking this off road, beyond a well maintained gravel one. Even on pavement if there are some dips at the right frequency it starts bouncing, wheels leaving the ground. Same rolling over speedbumps etc. Does anyone have a better experience with these suspensions? Fully loaded for a trip, I had it weighed at 2250# at a certified scale, that is weight on the wheels, there is about 250# on the tongue. Let me know if you have any thoughts on this!

Amazing work! Nice job.

I have a trailer with Timbren 3500HD and it seems nice. Comfortable on and off road, empty (2200 lbs) and full (3500 lbs). The Facebook group and the thread here on ExPo for the brand of trailer both detail camber issues that are fixable. I have not reached out to them before, but Timbren should be able help, I’ve heard good things about their customer service.

What tire pressure are you running? Many folks have their pressure too high for a trailer and in turn, the tires bounce like basketballs. I would play with the pressures and see if that helps.

Great work!!!
