Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle
These keep my truck level with my slide in camper on board. It no longer rests on the helper springs. I have gained over 2” of height on the bed. Super easy to install. They also are noticeable on corners. Not nearly as much lean.
The original timbrens were much too stiff and resulted in the elongation of the hitch pin holes. I opened a line of communication with Timbren had me make very specific measurements, and sent me replacement springs (shorter). I have not installed them yet (and have not found need for them). In my opinion these are only appropriate for heavy, permanent loads such as a slide in camper or welding setup and such. I would not recommend them for periodic loading applications of less than 50% payload capacity on a 22 F350 SRW Timbren customer service was excellent

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
Installed these Timbrens on my 2016 F350 to enhance the stability of my truck for a slide in truck camper. Have loved the results of them. They have noticeably helped leveling the truck/camper combo, and sway while driving. When the camper is off the truck these are not engaged. Have had no issues and would recommend them.
We got these Timbrens for our truck that hauls a truck camper. Took the sway out of driving

Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Severe Service - Rear Axle
Was able to install these with a 15mm flex head ratchet wrench and lifted the rear of the truck to make it easier. 30 minutes to take off 4 nuts and put em back on. 2 minutes assembling the timbrens with the added spacer. I have a f350 with a salter and plow. Loaded with salt the lights shoot up and in the snow ?? it’s like hitting hyper drive and you’re blinded. These helped big time. Very happy so far.
They may be a great product but they did not work on my 22 f350. Even with the spacers provided they would not make contact with the trucks axle even with a heavy slide in camper. If I am going to keep them I’ll have to make welding modifications to extend the bracket so it will work on my truck model pictures with and without the camper loaded. I would like to update my review to say that Timbren came through and made my application work by sending me the right parts so my truck doesn’t squat and it handles my truck camper much better. Timbren has great customer service

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
While these worked great for the first few months and helped level the load, they have now become deformed and squished out of shape permanently. We have a slide in camper that is on the truck for only for trips otherwise the truck is unloaded and off the bumps. I did not expect them to deform so much, and so easily after only a year of use.
Definitely beefs up the suspension. Helps is the load is well balanced and not so much on the truck. Overall happy with the product etrailer service.

Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Severe Service - Rear Axle
Easy to install and great support from the manufacturer. These raised my rear by 2 inches, eliminated the sway at high speeds, and all but eliminated squeeky spring noise on my 2005 F-350 fully loaded with a truck camper.
A year ago, I added Timbrens to my '09 F350 to help carry a '09 Lance 915 camper. Since my truck is a CC LB diesel model, the truck payload and loaded weight of my camper are similar. I found the Timbrens a cost effective way to limit the suspension sag and improve truck/camper sway. When unloaded, I rarely notice the Timbrens as they are ~1.5" away from the spring pack stop and only engage on large bumps. I also like the maintenance free aspect of Timbrens. To further enhance the loaded ride, I am replacing the thin factory contact pads on my overload springs with larger ones. I found that adding the Timbrens limited suspension travel such that it prevented adequate overload spring engagement with the factory pads. The replacement overload pads from Torklift and Supersprings are 3" (too much IMO as they contact the overload spring nearly all the time making for a rough ride). I am cutting down a set of Superstops to ~1.5 - 2" for the right amount of overload spring contact and Timbren engagement but still maintaining unloaded ride quality.

Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System
2 stars for the directions. Directions on how to remove the old stops and install the new ones are horrible. It took me over hours to get the first one done, and about 15 minutes to do the second one. The biggest issue I had was, it comes with a spacer, but the directions says... use what you need (when it comes to the spacer). HOW THE &$%$ am I supposed to know what I need. I used the 1 inch spacer, now the front end sits about 1/2 inch higher... do I remove it? 4 stars for the ride. The truck rides great and I can tell a difference in how smooth it rides, but still don't now if I need to mess up my back (bad back) more to remove the spacer (I have to take the front wheels off to get the SES installed). I might wait until I get the hardware installed for the plow to see if I need to remove the spacers (they might bring it back down where it should be). I really want to give this a higher rating. Once you discover how to do the install, it takes a few minutes, but the learning curve is sharp.
The instructions are not very comprehensive. The picture in them shows a nut and bolt to affix the "weldment" to the frame. My 2005 Ford F250 Powerstroke 4X4 frame is threaded where the weldment screws into. The parts bag only had a nut to attach the "Aeon spring" to the weldment and not one for the weldment-to-frame. Luckily the bolt supplied for the weldment had the same thread pitch as the frame threads. I recommend Timbren change their instructions by saying the frame might be threaded. As the instructions state, the Aeon spring is touching the axle bump spot. They fit perfectly and raised the truck front-end about 1/2 inch. Highly recommended

SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle
Love these. Were easy to install and work great. No complaints. Maintains ride height even with 10,000lbs on the trailer. “F-250 with gooseneck” for reference.
took about 2 1/2 hours to put them on. Love them!! Trailer sits level and truck still has it's proper angle to the road!

SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle
Gave it 5 because of ease of install - note they use SAE threads 9/16, truck frame and oem is metric 15mm wrench. Makes no difference but don't use oem nuts on spring. I installed all shims supplied and this left about 3/4" gap so hoing its the best for my needs. Easy to reduce if needed.
Took all but 15 minutes each side to install. Haven't hooked up trailer yet, but looking forward to see how it handles.
