14,000-lb Capacity. Great for trucks with plows, these front hollow rubber springs help to stabilize and level your Chevrolet C/K Series Pickup. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. Easy to install and use.
Features:
Specs:
Just like the rear of your vehicle will sag under the weight of a fully loaded bed, the front of your vehicle will sag when under the burden of heavy equipment such as a snowplow. In this case, the front axle is handling not only the weight of the equipment, but also more of the vehicle's weight. Overall vehicle handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. But the resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with your factory suspension to keep your vehicle level and improve your driving experience.
The Timbren system comes with custom-fit brackets that are bolted onto each frame rail above your front axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket and hang down so that the bottom of each spring touches the axle. Because each spring is making constant contact with the axle, it is always working to cushion and support your factory suspension.
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 increases resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping your vehicle level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's-side or passenger's-side of your vehicle. 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 you're carrying off-center loads.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System will help raise the front end of your vehicle when you're using heavy equipment like a snowplow. This ensures that your headlight beams will be pointed in the right direction and tire wear will be reduced. If the plow is off-center or has an extension, the springs will automatically compensate for this as well.
Another great feature of the rubber construction is that the springs absorb most of the road shock, creating a smoother, more stable ride overall. Wear and tear on the factory suspension is also lessened because the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement Systems are much easier to install than air springs - there are no air hoses to run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments to make. The rubber construction makes Timbren's springs more elastic than similar products constructed of microcellular urethane. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride because the rubber has more travel.

Only issue I had was keeping the wedge from moving during installation
I had a problem with getting front sumo springs relative to the rear sumo springs I purchased earlier; however, the staff at etrailer were very helpful in getting me a suspension enhancement component made by timbren which I just installed. I believe the timbren supports are going to do the job I was looking for and make me just as happy as I am with the rear sumo springs. You will notice from the photos the supports make direct contact; however, the pictures were taken on a unlevel surface and when the truck is on a level surface the direct contact is equal on either side. Also, the timbren supports provide substantially more weight capacity in the event I choose to haul my scooter on the front end of the truck. Thanks again Derek S and etrailer staff I am very pleased with the service, customer relations and professionalism experienced when ordering my parts. Thank you, Bobby (Louisiana).
Great ride improvement. Thanks
East install and my truck rides much better and carrys my plow much better. A must for 3/4 ton GM trucks in my opinion.
Excellent product, great instructions for install.

all 4 are still doing very well thank you for a quality product
this is the 3rd replacement of bump stops for my 99 chevy 3/4 HD 4x4. Two were OEM , and one an after market ( lasted a week ! ). I am impressed that the Timbren bump stops are well made and were a direct fit. The truck sits about an inch higher in the front end and best of all the ride is smoother . the truck also has new up graded shocks and the over all condition of the suspension is very sound. the shocks were installed prior to these new bump stops. I would give 5 stars however I am waiting this out to see what the Timbren bump stops are capable of in a year from know. my truck spends most of its time on road not off road .

I would buy again . these are worth 5 stars.
I ordered timbrens for the front and rear of my chevy 2500. I have a 2000 lb truck camper and I wanted something to help carry the load a little better. I had no idea that my front bump stops had worn away to almost nothing until I installed these. They have worn well and performed well so far.

Still working great. No problems. Really happy I didnt waste the money on airbags.
My 03' Chevy Silverado really benefited from the installation of the Timbren bushings. Shipping was fast the instructions from E-trailer were very helpful and made it easy to DIY. The front end of the truck seemed to be sagging especially when the plow was raised even with 600 lbs of ballast. The front end was raised up about 3/4" after the install and the ride quality is greatly improved overall. I cannot hardly wait to try them with the plow. I would highly recommend Timbren bushings to anybody with a higher mileage vehicle like mine 160,000.

These will be going on every truck I buy from now on.
Put in my plow truck, went in super easy. Gave back stock ride hight with the weight of a all steal v plow.
Installed this on my 2005 Silverado 2500HD with the 8.1l engine. Easy 1.5 hour install with hand tools. Raised front of truck about 1" with constant contact with rubber. I'm installing a Boss V Snow Plow and a Truck bed Camper ( for Summer) and needed the extra weight capacity without the suspension sag. Ride quality degraded some, but is not objectionable. Ride is OK for a truck. This is a better solution than changing to stiffer torsion bars or cranking up the stock bars for my application.
Replace stock bumpers that had failed allowing front of vehicle to touch frame. These solved that issue!
I am impressed with the timkens. Got a 2009 GMC 2500 hd and Western 8.5' v plow. Nose dive was an understatement before. However I put a 2" leveling kit and installed the timkens at the same time. One of them made my truck ride horrible. Probably the leveling kit from the torsion bars being turned in. I do notice tho that empty going over a jarring bump you can feel the timkens hitting hard. But with a plow on the truck it is the way to go. After this winter I'm gonna take them off and put stok back on for the summer. It's one bolt to replace them install was a piece of cake.
I have owned and used these over a year now. They honestly still look brand new. When recently I changed my upper and lower ball joints all I needed to do with these was to clean off the dust and dirt. I used my vehicle with these installed most off road and in the woods and they hold up very well and so far 4x longer than OEM!
Works great on my 2005 2500hd towing my 42 ft fifth wheel. Have them on the back also. No suspension sag and no sway,very impressed.
Fit was correct easy install. Just as good as air bags.

Still holding up with no visble damage.
My one-ton is a 2008 Chevy Silverado. As I drove with my 5th wheel I knew it needed some help. The folks at etrailer were great to suggest what I needed. Sure I still have bumps, but not as bad.
Timbren SES heavy duty jounce bumpers dramatically improved the ride of my Chevy 2500HD and it drops only a very small amount when I hoist the plow. Less than 1/2" dropbin ride height with the plow raised. Yet the riee is not harsh. Excellent product, wish I knew about it years ago.
The parts did not fit our truck

Before you return the springs, I suggest reaching out to Timbren about the fitment issue that you had. These springs are intended to be a fit for your 2008 GMC Sierra front mounted springs. The only caveat that I see is that for 4Wd it would not fit the OEM or Box vehicles with a 42-inch-wide frame.
Works very well in the front of the truck. Made the truck sit 1" higher. Supports the snow plow well.
Highly recommend spending the money. My last pickup I bought Sumo Spring rubber stops and they seemed squishy to me, where these are hard and hold up very well. Holds my Boss V-XT 8'2" up where it needs to be. Don't go cheap! You'll regret it!
Easy to install, keeps the front end up with the snow plow on our 2500 Silverado
I had a little problem with the web page. So I called etrailer and Greg helped me with my order. So now I understand their web site better and will purchase more product in the future. Thanks! Mike
I’ve bought a few sets of these.

The timbren springs are working out better than expected. I installled new Monroe matic RV shocks front and rear on my 2006 Chevy Silverado 1500 just prior to putting the timbrens on the front and the sumo springs on the rear and the ride is great especially with a load or hauling my travel trailer and the ride is just as smooth empty. I highly recommend the timbren and sumo springs because they fit by application and there is nothing additional to buy. Thanks etrailer.
