Specs:
When hauling heavy loads in the cargo area or by pulling a trailer, you will often see the rear of the vehicle 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 vehicle's weight as well. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall vehicle handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. The resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with the vehicle's factory suspension to keep the vehicle level and improve your driving performance.
The Timbren system has a vehicle-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.
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 vehicle level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's or passenger's side of the 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 hauling off-center loads.
Because the vehicle 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 vehicle. This also works to make the sway subside quicker.
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.

Alright today on this 1995 Ford F250, we are going to install part number TFR150SDE from Timbren. As shown here, this is what the suspension enhancement system looks like when it is installed on the vehicle. Next we will go ahead and show you how it is done. To install it, the first thing we need to do is remove the original bump stop right here. There is a bolt on top that you want to spray down with some penetrant to help loosen the bolt and remove it. It is kind of hard to see but on the bottom here is actually a bushing inside of here. You have to remove that as well. You will spray it down, knock it around and then you should be able to get it to fall off the bottom. 1:00
Alright now we can start the assembly of the Aeon rubber spring. Alright, these are the components we will be using to install it. Now there will be a couple of optional hardware here. What this optional hardware is for is if you need the spring to be moved front or to the rear of the axle, to fine tune it to match your suspension setup you can. In this case though, we will be using the single bolt in the center here. We will not be using that hardware. So we will be left with the longest bolt and the medium bolt, with a lock washer on both of them. And the one that goes from the top of the frame down will use a flat washer. And also there is a spacer block that is optional as well, to go in between the spring and the mounting bracket. Some vehicle will require it and some will not. In this case, we will be using it. 1:50
We will take our long bolt and this will go through the bottom of the spring. We will run this through the washer, our spacer and that will run in to our bracket, just enough to hold it all together for now. Now we will go install the assembly on the frame. From the top down we will install our bolt, flat washer and lock washer. And this bushing right here will fit in the original spot. And this will all fit together like this, around the frame. Alright, now I can tighten the inside bolt. In a few easy steps, our suspension enhancement system is already installed. Now we are done with the passenger side. Let us move over to the driver side and repeat the same process. So we can go ahead and put the tires back on, put a load on it and try it out. And that will finish it for part number TFR150SDE from Timbren.
