Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
2010 Nissan Frontier with Timbren suspension components. Trailer is a Jayco X17Z with close to 450lbs of tongue weight. Pictures are a before and after view of the rear suspension droop.
Upon opening the box I noticed that one of the brackets had a defective weld. I have submitted photos. I call the 1 800 etrailer number and had a 1 hour wait time. So I call Timbren direct and they said to send photos of the problem and mailing address and they would send out a new one. The rest of the product seems to be in good shape and looks easy to install.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
Easy to install and just the right height for my 2013 Nissan Pro 4X that was sagging with a canopy camper.
These things SUCK for the Frontier, they are very stiff. THANK GOD I ordered thru etrailer and not Supersprings directly, ''Supersprings'' seems like a good American company to deal with UNTIL, you have an issue with their product. They will jerk you around and try to sell you 'other' products to fix the issue instead of simply honoring their website stated satisfaction guarantee. If you have a Nissan frontier BEWARE this item may not fit your truck unless its lifted. If your truck is stock it will constantly ride on these and you'll feel every bump on the road. When you explain this to Supersprings they will say something along the lines of ''Just throw some weight on the back of your truck'' Thats not helping me. Thank you Alex J at etrailer for understanding my issue and making it right. I went ahead and ordered the firestone adjustable airbags from etrailer.com I want to reiterate This is not complaint against etrailer rather against that awful company Super Springs.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
First of all etrailer.com has shown again they have the best customer service. There's a reason I keep going back for my truck/trailer needs. The 1500# SumoSprings I ordered (SSR-610-47) for my Frontier installed very easily. The total install took about 20 min. Having an impact gun definitely helped. Getting the U-bolt nuts off without one would be a bear. I opted for the 1500# to assist with squatting when I pull my 5K# camper. I am using an e2 WDH but its still squatting a bit too much for my taste, these should help with that. The ride without a load is stiff but not harsh. There's virtually no body roll like there was before even with new shocks. I'm looking forward to my first camping trip of the year and will update after that trip which will be about 250 miles round trip.
These Sumo springs are the real deal! Installed them on my Nissan Frontier that I tow a trailer with and instead of the rear dropping 2 1/2 inches it now only drops less than an inch. Originally tried to buy another big brand name but it said it wasn't compatible with my truck. These Summo springs are second to none. Took about 45 minutes to install. Very happy. Highly reccomend.

2015 Frontier Crew cab Desert Runner (purchased the yellow Sumo Springs). Easiest install ever! 18mm deep socket and long breaker bar for breaking nuts loose. Removed factory bumpstop, install sumo bracket and retighten U bolts to 58 foot pounds. After installing both brackets, lifted back of truck up 4 inches to install sumo spring with blue lock tight on bracket bolt, tighten sumo spring onto bracket and lowered truck off the jack. Overall it raised the back of my truck bed 1 inch. Ride is stiffer with no bed roll in the turns. Loaded my 24 foot travel trailer with load leveler- equalizer bars and gained 3 inches (less “squat”.) Truck is level now vs nose high (without the sumo springs). Definitely an upgrade that was needed in 2015 when I first bought the truck!!!
While I’m a fan of the folks at etrailer this purchase was a disappointment. Neat concept but didn’t work out for me. First off, after installed the ride in the truck was unbearable. I had them installed for only 3 weeks and could not wait to have them taken off. Never got to tow with them as the ride was that bad. When they took them off, the bolt up through the middle broke right off. I guess that’s how tight they were between the leaf spring and where the bump stop was. Shame though, I was really looking forward to having a better towing experience.

Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops - Rear Suspension - 3,600 lbs
These were a breeze to install with rear of my Frontier Pro4X on ramps. they fit perfectly, and are a drastic improvement over the rock hard rubber factory bump stops.

Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops - Front Suspension - 4,000 lbs
These bumpstops are excellent! they look better in person than they do in the picture. Because I have a 2" spacer lift on my Frontier Pro4X, I needed to Timbren 1/2" spacers & longer 2" bolts. I tested these under full flex and they work perfectly.
Bought these in lieu of airbags for my Nissan Frontier. I overland in the desert, taking Astro pictures. I put in Bilstein shocks, raised it about an inch (I’m 5’2, so any higher and I can’t get in my truck!). . Even going as light as possible with my RTT, rack, and other equipment, I was still bottoming out in larger ruts. Everyone suggested airbags but I didn’t want to have to maintain and adjust them. These are perfect and have fixed that problem.

The product was quick and easy to install (less then 10 minutes). I did a test load and hooked up my 29 foot travel trailer and immediately noticed the difference in appearance and performance.

Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System
When I installed these on my 2015 Nissan frontier sv, the bump stops did not sit square with the top plate, but at an angle I wasn't sure how this would effect travel of the timbrens or the function. Not sure if others have same issue or not. Long story short, this positioning caused excessive stress on the mountingnut location and tore at the bottom right next to the mounting bolt. Timbren was contacted and a replacement was sent free of charge. Excellent customer service- friendly, great attitude to help me out. Performance - handles larger bumps/dips better but smaller ones are felt more. Stiffens up front, notice wind gust influence substantially less. Do feel performance has diminished after a year. Upgrading shocks/coils for lift and better ride. May remove timbrens altogether. Someone with a plow would appreciate these more.

Works Great Really helps with towing.
Great product. Easy to install and a fair price. Put a 1500lb load of wood in my Frontier and it only dropped about 2inches. Did make the front end light thought

These really perform as advertised. I do a little bit of recycling and these really help prevent the sag I used to get when hauling.

This did not fit the 2022 Nissan king cab. I did not see that this was called out in the documents provided on the site. I did find the etrailer hills very helpful but also, am being charged $18 as a return fee The ones which I need have brackets and are on their way. Added picture of stock bump stops. Heads up!!
Cool product, will aid with trailer towing. Install was very easy on my 2023 frontier. Just be aware the oem has a bolt underneath it, so remove the cushion/stop and use a ratchet to take off old base. New one has integrated bolt that screws right into the vehicle frame. Thanks etrailer for exceptional service as always.

I bought them because I was going to pull a RV but with the normal 200-300 pounds of weight I carry in the bed these things made my truck ride better than when I first got it

Installed on my 22 frontier. Took longer to Jack the vehicle up and remove the tire than the actual install of these springs. I tow a travel trailer that weights approx 3500lbs truck doesn’t sag. Ride quality is amazing while loaded. A bit on the stiffer side for everyday driving but not terrible. Noticeably less body roll in turns.
Fit as expected and performed as expected on my 2022 Nissan Frontier Pro-X.

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
Caution,these parts did not fit my 2008 Suburban 1500 as advertised. Also FYI, Amazon also says they will fit. After some alterations I got them to finally seat. Tha original bump stops have a groove cut into them about a 1/2" from the top to accept 6 pertrusions that are stamped in the bump stop cup. After several attempts to press the Timbrens into place they wanted to pop out or were very easily removed with little pressure.I ended up cutting in 6 notches with a utility knife. Photos attached. I used markings on the old bump stops to determine spacing. I marked the Timbren with chalk to illustrate approximately where I notched them.Caution, cutting hard rubber with a utility knife is dangerous if you are not used to using a utility knife. I believe Timbren makes a spacer with a groove cut in them. That would make installation a lot easier. I cannot fault etrailer because they probably are following Timbren specks. Also I am not sure all Suburbans of this era have the same bump stop cup. I would recommend checking your old bump stops before ordering. Hope this helps.
These have been in my older truck for over a year and have been great. Especially helpful when towing … worked flawlessly on our 5800 mile trip across the heartland.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
While I haven't used them for trailering yet, I could already feel an improvement in the tightness of the back end. Feels a little more springy now. One of my long complaints about the Xterra was the soft rear end on it and this seems to shore that up nicely. Also seems to eliminate the rear end shimmy. Installation took about 20 minutes, did not use a jack or remove tires. Installed on a Pro 4x 4wd
I really like my set of sumo springs. Installation was easy and they give my Nissan nv2500 van excellent turning stability, especially when towing a trailer.
