An example of sag on the rear suspension under a heavy load.

The resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with the trailer's suspension to keep it level, which improves driving performance for your vehicle. When hauling heavy loads, you will often see the rear of the vehicle sag, while the front end raises up. In this case, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but more of the vehicle's weight as well. Since less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making significantly less contact with the road, reducing traction, which decreases the vehicle's steering and stopping performance.


Under pressure, hollow rubber springs are designed to progressively support the suspension.

The Timbren system has a custom bracket that will be bolted onto the trailer frame above the axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket and hang down to where the bottom of the spring sits one inch above the axle. The inch of clearance allows the existing factory suspension to operate normally under light loads and standard terrain, ensuring the smooth, comfortable ride you are used to.


Animation of a standard Timbren rubber spring

Timbren Suspension Enhancement Systems are designed to work progressively. When the hollow rubber springs are compressed, the convoluted design causes them to quickly collapse along the folds. Once the folds are compacted, the stacked barrel shape provides increased resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping the trailer level.


Timbren suspension system works to prevent body roll

Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's or passenger's side of the trailer. This is helpful when you swerve or make sharp turns. Each spring is activated when it is needed, so body roll is greatly reduced. The independent action also works well when hauling off-center loads.


An example of a trailers swaying without Timbren SES

Timbren Suspension systems help compensate for all of the probable causes of trailer sway from unbalanced loads to gusts of wind from passing vehicles. Installing Timbren will make your trailer track better behind your vehicle and provide a safer more comfortable towing experience.


An example hauling a heavy load with and without Timbren.

When hauling heavy loads, the resistance from Timbren's hollow rubber springs will work with the trailer's suspension to raise the trailer's ride height. This is will take additional strain off of the hitch components and help the trailer ride easier.

Product is as described, installation was easy & performed as expected.

I ordered these to help reduce the rolling (tilting) of my 18' travel trailer that I use off-road. Also, I am hoping it will absorb some of the shock. I have added some photos of before and after installation. The installation was simple, I used 5/16" sheet metal screws instead of the bolts supplied. Time will tell if they work as expected.
As you can see from the photos, I have previously added an Etrailers shock mount kit to my axle. I made custom lower mounts that I welded to the axle and used the supplied upper mounts.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for Bottoming Out Trailer
    I would recommend the part # TTRA1702 for your trailer as it will provide you with additional suspension support so that your suspension stops bottoming out harshly and would not raise the suspension. Since your trailer is a tandem you would need two of these kits. That being said I have to recommend you lighten up the load you carry with your trailer as you are exceeding the axle capacity and could potentially damage things or hurt another driver. This is actually the root of your problem.

  • Recommended Timbren Suspension for Trailer With Roughly 1000-lb Load
    Usually when a trailer is bouncing around a lot behind tow vehicle, it starts with an improperly loaded trailer that has too much tongue weight and weight that is not properly distributed. Typically a trailer should have 10-15% of the total weight on the tongue of the trailer; you can measure your trailer's tongue weight with a tongue weight scale like the etrailer # e99044. Your tongue weight should be in the 200 to 270-lbs range using the 10-15% guideline (when fully loaded). When it...

  • Keeping Cargo from Moving and Shifting in Enclosed Trailer
    Adding trailer suspension enhancement such as # TTRA1702 can definitely help with ride quality but I think the best solution to keep loads on the pallet is some cargo control devices. You could start with a cargo net, I have included a link to the various sizes we carry. A cargo net is a simple solution to secure a large group of items with one device. You can also get some E-Track, # E19148, and attach them to the sides of the trailer. Then use some D-Ring tie downs, # E59143, and ratchet...

  • How Much Does a 1977 22 Foot Ideal of Idaho Travel Trailer Weigh
    The best way to determine the weight of your 1977 Ideal of Idaho travel trailer is to take it to a truck scale, weigh station, or place where they sell bulk gravel and ask to weigh the trailer. I have included a link that should help. From what I could find (I could only go as far back as 1980) but in that year on a 22 footer the weight was about 4,000 pounds. If the weights and capacities are not on a plate on the trailer frame somewhere then to know for sure you are going to need a scale.

  • Recommended Trailer Suspension Enhancement To Keep From Bottoming Out
    Just based on the information given on capacity, length, and style, we don't have the spring you need. The closest we have are the 3-Leaf Slipper Spring w/ Flat End for 2,900-lb Trailer Axles - 30" Long # SP-039275 which will not fit your hangers. You may want to consider using the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers 1,000 lbs # TTRA1702 to keep your trailer from bottoming out. This is an assist if you have working/functional suspension. The best option...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement System For a 2007 20 Lark Tandem Axle Enclosed Trailer
    Before you select a suspension enhancement system for your 2007 20 Lark tandem axle enclosed trailer you should verify the gross trailer weight of your trailer. Once you have determined the overall weight of your trailer when fully loaded, you can choose a suspension system that will effectively reduce sag and sway and provide a more comfortable ride. The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for Light-Duty Trailers, # TTRA1702, that you referenced will not mount to an I-beam style trailer...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a Fifth Wheel Trailer
    For suspension enhancement for a trailer we have a similar setup to an air kit, but it's actually a rubber spring instead. For a 1,000 lb axle kit you would want the part # TTRA1702. For a 7,000 lb axle kit you would want the part # TTRA1032. For a 10k axle kit you would need the # TTRA15252. Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System has hollow rubber springs that absorb the brunt of the force on the trailer's frame, helping to reduce sag and sway ensuring better handling and tracking behind...

  • Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System that Could Fit Tandem Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles
    For a tandem axle trailer the Timbren suspension kit part # TTRA1702 would be a great option to provide additional suspension support. It can provide up to 1,000 lbs of additional support per axle. Since you have a tandem setup you'd need two of these. This will get rid of suspension sag when your trailer is loaded which would raise it up in a sense, but it is not actually a lift kit. For an actual lift kit you'd want the part # RR23QX instead.

  • Recommended Solution to Help with Absorb Bumps on Small Utility Trailer
    I'm not necessarily sure that the air pressure of the tires is the main culprit here since the smaller tires have a higher air pressure to compensate for the lower capacity; you could absolutely go with a larger tire like the Loadstar ST175/80D13 Bias Trailer Tire with 13" White Wheel - 5 on 4-1/2 - Load Range C # AM3S140 to give yourself a higher capacity tire that doesn't require as much air. However, I think the light weight of the trailer also makes it a bit more prone to the bouncing...

  • Suspension Enhancement Kit for Trailer with 3.5 inches Between Axle and Frame
    The Timbren kit part # TTRA1702 is 2-3/4 inches tall and would work great for you to give you additional support. This will provide up to 1,000 lb of additional support.

  • Recommendation of Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System for a 3,000-Lb Utility Trailer
    I would recommend to use the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System , part # TTRA1032, on your 3,000-lb utility trailer. This enhancement system is for medium-duty trailers. It has a weight capacity of 7,000 lbs. This does not mean that you will be able to carry more weight than what your trailer is rated for, but it will help reduce sag and sway when you put the load of your equipment on the trailer. It is always better to have more weight capacity than not enough weight capacity....

  • Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement Options
    It sounds like you may need to look into the state of the suspension on your trailer. If there is so much movement that it has caused the tires to damage the fenders then something is not quite right. The Timbren springs like # TTRA1702 are designed to be installed on a trailer that has a suspension system that is in good working order so making sure yours is good would be the first step. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view. These springs are 2-3/4...

  • Solution for Reducing Sag When Loading Barbeque Pit Onto Trailer
    Replacing the leaf springs on your trailer with higher capacity springs may not resolve the sag you are seeing when the BBQ is loaded onto the trailer. I do not recommend going this route, as higher capacity springs will result in a stiff ride (which may lead to damage on your BBQ pit) and may also require a completely new hanger orientation and size. I also recommend checking to make sure that you are not exceeding the weight capacity of your trailer. Adding aftermarket products to the...

  • What Trailer Suspension Enhancement is Best for Preventing Axle From Contacting Trailer Frame
    If your trailer suspension is in good working order and your trailer has not been overloaded the axles should not contact the frame at any time, even on bumpy roads.

  • Recommended Trailer Suspension Enhancement For Single Axle Utility Trailer Towing Polariz RZR
    I would start by checking that your current leaf springs are in good shape, and the the U-bolts are all tight. If all the suspension checks out then the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 3K to 5K - Underslung # TSS-106-40 would be the best option if your axle has a 3000-5000lb rating, or the # TTRA1702 if it has a lighter rated axle. Both options will help to absorb road shock when driving on rough roads, and minimize sway and body roll to give...

  • Suspension Enhancement on a Trailer that Bottoms Out
    We don't offer airbags, like what is normally installed on a tow vehicle, for trailers. We do have jounce-style helper springs that may work for you. The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System # TTRA1702 install onto your trailer's frame and help support the existing suspension. They are likely to help you from bottoming out when crossing the creek however they will make every day driving pretty rough. So if this is the route you go I recommend installing them when you're going...

  • Recommended Trailer Bump Stop and Suspension Enhancement for Tandem Axle Trailer
    The amount of space needed is going to vary depending on the spring that you use. If you use the Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers 1,000 lbs # TTRA1702, those springs are only 2-3/4" tall so you can get away with fairly minimal clearance. The other option would be the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation Bracket - Single Axle - 3K to 5K - Underslung # TSS-106-40 for underslung axles or the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs w/ Line Relocation...

  • Will Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System TTRA1702 Work On Utility Trailer With 2000lb Axle
    The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System Light-Duty Trailers 1,000 lbs # TTRA1702 have a combined rating of 1000lbs, and not 1000lbs per spring. Since your leaf springs are supporting the weight on the axle, suspension enhancement like this does not need to meet the exact rating of the axle, and is just designed to help the suspension out. Keep in mind suspension enhancement will not increase the load ratings of your trailer. These springs will work perfectly on your trailer...

  • How to Improve a Rough and Bumpy Ride on a 2,000 Pound Fruefoff Trailer
    I do have some suggestions. First off, make sure that the tongue weight is not too heavy or light. Typically tongue weight should be 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. A tongue weight that is too heavy would cause the rear end of the trailer to be more bouncy. Getting the trailer loaded properly will be the first thing you can do. As far as aftermarket suspension enhancement using a system like # TTRA1702 would help but it is only rated for 1,000 pounds for the set. All the...

You do not want to exceed the trailers weight carrying capacity. Also, this system is for trailers with a suspension system that is in good working order.

  • SumoSpring or Timbren for 5x8 Karavan Utility Trailer
    For your application I recommend checking out the SumoSprings Trailer Helper Springs # TSS-107-40 because they are designed for an overslung leaf spring setup and SumoSprings tend to offer more forgiving support so it's more comfortable. This kit is rated for 3K - 5K axles and is 5" tall but SumoSprings has told us in the past that if one of their springs are too tall it's perfectly okay to cut it to the height you need and that won't affect the performance of the spring. Your photos didn't...

  • Timbren Trailer Suspension Installation for Trailer with Narrow U-Bolt Plate
    The Timbren Trailer Suspension Enhancement System # TTRA1702 doesn't have to fit between the u-bolts of the trailer axle. All that is required is that the plate attaches to the frame and the rubber spring touches the axles so you could mount is so that the rubber spring contacts the axle to the inside or the outside of the u-bolts on the axle if needed.
