Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
Bought the TNRARM for my 2008 Nissan Pathfinder V6 4WD. The actual suspension is not even close to the diagram on the instructions. I sent an exploded diagram of my rear suspension to Timbren seeking their advice, and their response was "If your vehicle does not have a bump stop, then this will not be able to be installed." Very disappointed. On a positive note, etrailer was great, product shipped quickly and return was easy.
Nissan Armada. Only about 1/2" longer than original design. Once loaded,still squatted rear suspension like it did before installation. Not worth the high price.

Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle
Great product and performed as I had hoped. My 2011 Xterra Pro-4X has weak leaf springs and bottomed out on bigger bumps. I didn't have the capital to put forward on new leaf springs so I added the Timbrens. I gave these 4 stars as Timbren shipped me the incorrect spacers twice (at no cost to me). Their customer service was great, and found an error in their process. After getting the height and spacers correct with a small gap, they do their job very well and I am happy with the performance even after a year. I would definitely consider purchasing again.
I bought these for my Xterra to help eliminate sag when towing. I don't tow a lot and I liked the idea that these units wouldn't affect the ride the rest of the time. First impressions of the quality. The thickness of the steel brackets is great almost look heavier than they need to be. The rubber springs are very solid and seem like they will last a long time. The included hardware seemed to be of good quality as well. My only complaint was the finish on the brackets. At this price point I was hoping they would be powder coated but they are painted. Not a huge deal but right out of the box some of the paint was flaking off like the parts weren't prepped properly. I ended up scuffing them down and spraying two coats of bedliner on them. I am hoping that will help keep them rust free. Installation was very easy and I had no problems getting them pretty centered over the axle. I did have the opportunity to tow since the install and they really did make a huge difference. I gained about 2 inches of height when fully loaded. The ride of the vehicle was very good and the handling was very stable. I drive this vehicle every day and when not towing it is a little stiffer at times, but certainly not enough to be a problem. I am at 60k now and plan on replacing my shocks shortly so I am hoping that will help. Overall, it was a worthwhile upgrade and I would do them again in a minute.

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.
Here is my install on my 2WD Ford Explorer front. Easy job, I don't recommend installing these with lowers suspension as the ride is too harsh, I adjust mine back to stock. Works the way I need them to.

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
They do a very good job of stabilizing the rear axle of the truck when under a heavy load. Towed a 6000 lb travel trailer this week with no load leveling or anti sway bars (helping a friend). The 1500 Silverado equipped with the Timbren system did an excellent job towing the trailer.
I know it will be lovely when loaded or the trailer on. However,it rides like a wagon empty with brand new premium shocks and struts empty. Thud thud thud. You really cannot feel the shocks or suspension. Found exact same item plentiful for 60 bucks on eBay after I bought these for 250. I may cut these in half or put air bag on. I do not like the ride empty. No hard feelings. It is a good product maybe just not for me.

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System
I drive a 2010 Chrysler Town and Country and tow a pop up camper. In addition to that I also carry my wifes 200 lb power chair in the back of the van. Needless to say the back end of my van was bottomed out. That caused the front end of the van to be up in the air thus giving me less control of the front wheel drive vehicle. After installing a new set of shocks and the Timbren rear suspension on my van What a difference it made. I was a little concerned about the price but the results outweighed the price by a longshot. Now with my wifes power chair and the pop up hooked up, my van sets perfectly straight and my vehicle has better control making the trips a lot safer. The best thing is, I did it all myself and saved a ton of money on labor.
Money well spent! Easy to install, the vehicle handles better and doesn't squat nearly as much when loaded or towing. Keeps the rear level and yet ride quality remains the same as prior to install. A tad pricey, but well worth it!

got them on in about 30 minutes, just wanted to keep the front end down while pulling the boat. I think this was a great anwser for that. Plus easier on the springs and shocks. Thanks again guys.
I did not notice much/any improvement in ride. I went on to install adjustable shocks, then a Shocker hitch, and finally a ProPride hitch.
