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.

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs - Double Convoluted - Rear Axle
Not that hard to install. Took a friend and I 2 hours. Instructions were easy to follow.
I have purchased a few items for my 2020 Fontier e.g. tow package, wiring, electric brake control, fog lights/switch, etc. - it's a 'tweener' year i.e. new power train with old style body. This Firestone Airbag recommended by etrailer.com is NOT a bolt on product for the 2020 Nissan Frontier. The driver's side rear is the issue where with the new power train there is a cannister - not sure exactly what it is...but, it interfears with the hardware. After cutting, fabbing spacers, adjusting brake lines I got it installed - took me two 14 hour days. When it was finally installed after a lot of headsctatching and figuring out how to solve yet another problem - I felt like Firestone should have paid me for all the hassle.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
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.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
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 Rear Suspension Enhancement System
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.

Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle
Maybe you can make out these pictures on my 02 tacoma Pre Runner...Thanks again for the second great buying experience!
Good quality product. Makes big difference on my Toyota Tacoma. Installation is straight forward. However, the instructions are not specific to models of trucks. I had to modify one component as it interfered with the shock absorber lower mount at the axle.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
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.

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
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.

RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit
You van feel the difference right away. Gave my truck a little more height without a load. Truck feels more stable a turn/curve. I still have to put a load on it to check the differences. But, I imagine I won't have any problems based on everyone's else's reviews.
The springs work amazingly, I made the installation a little harder by not reading the instructions completely. But after a phone call and a little guidance I had them on in no time. Thanks to Ashley and Jill for their help and patience.

Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs for Coil Spring Suspension - Front Axle
I was very excited about these for my 4x4 2015 Nissan Frontier. I am not completely displeased with them because they do make a mild difference over bumps, but they aren't worth over 100 bucks no way, the fact that I had to CUT THEM to fit due to them being too long made me feel like the company does not due their research when manufacturing them. It was so long that it lapped the beginning on it, so in order to have them installed as shown on the instructions I had to cut nearly 3 inches off... Which meant I had to comely install them, mark then uninstall, cut to fit, then install again. For an item to cost this much I expected better build quality. Bang for buck it's not worth it, it's overpriced and I wouldn't recommend them for that cost.
Unbelievably easy to install with instant positive feedback. I tow a 9,000 travel trailer using a weight distribution hitch along with added Sumo Springs rear suspension upgrade. Feels like I'm towing with a 1 ton dually. I cannot recommend these products enough!
