Hi Larry,

I'm actually planning on using a Timbren suspension system
http://www.etrailer.com/Trailer-Axle...n/A4RS440.html It's highly sensitive and will take most of the bounce out of the trailer.

Big question at this point...is what is the MINIMUM weight that the
Timbren will properly work at. Looking at it...Im going to say...you
are way way too light to get it working properly.

You would be better off making a sliding shackle and stuffing in a
piece of urathane..and hell of a lot cheaper


Timbren has suspension that's rated as low as 400lbs max... I'm hoping that at 150lbs empty-weight of the trailer the suspension will still be active.

The suspension is rated at 400 lb PER UNIT - which is 800 lbs. It
will be almost solid with your load.


Ayup. Absolutely no benefit to these in this application
