An example of sag on a truck's rear axle under a heavy load. The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System levels the Chevrolet Suburban.

When hauling heavy loads in the cargo area or by pulling a trailer, you will often see the rear of the Chevrolet Suburban sag while the front end rises. In these cases, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but more of the Chevrolet Suburban's weight as well. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall Chevrolet Suburban handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. The resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with the Chevrolet Suburban's factory suspension to keep the Chevrolet Suburban level and improve your driving performance.


Diagram of the Timbren spring installed

The Timbren system has a Chevrolet Suburban-specific bracket that will be bolted onto each frame rail above the rear 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 Chevrolet Suburban 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 Chevrolet Suburban. 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

Because the Chevrolet Suburban handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along to the trailer helping to keep the trailer in line. Your driving comfort is further enhanced if the trailer does begin to sway (from a gust of wind or passing of a semi) because the movement from the trailer is not transferred to the Chevrolet Suburban. This also works to make the sway subside quicker.


An empty truck on a bumpy road without Timbren

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 as the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.

Compared to the competition:

Timbren's suspension enhancement systems are much easier to install than air springs - no air hoses are needed to be run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments necessary. The rubber construction causes Timbren's springs to be more elastic than similar products constructed of micro-cellular urethane. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride because the rubber has more travel.

Video Transcript for Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2011 Chevrolet Suburban

Today on a 2011 Chevrolet Suburban were going to install part number TGMRYS4 from Timbren. The first thing we need to do is get underneath the vehicle and remove the original bump stop. This will be pretty easy on this particular vehicle. Well just go ahead and grab it and just pull it loose from its fitting. Okay, now well go ahead and show you how the new Timbre spring will go into place. Itll basically push into place and held in like friction like the old one.

You can see how it fits. Now were also going to have to use a piece of timber to help hold it in place while we compress it. First, well go ahead and lift the body of the vehicle up off the suspension to give us some room. Well put the new spring in place and then put a piece of timber in underneath it. Then well let the weight come down on the vehicle and do the work for us as it pushes it into place.

Now you may have to do this a couple of times to make sure the spring is straight. Once were satisfied of it being straight we can go ahead and remove the piece of timber. Were done with the passengers side, well go ahead and repeat the same process on the drivers side. Okay, with that thatll finish it for part number TGMRYS4 from Timbren on our 2011 Chevrolet Suburban.
