8,600-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. Becomes more rigid as more weight is added for great performance when you're hauling a heavy load.

Specs:
Whether you're hauling heavy loads in your bed or cargo area or you're towing a trailer, you will often see the rear of your vehicle sag while the front end rises. In these cases, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but also more of the vehicle's weight. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. But the resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with your factory suspension to keep your vehicle level and improve your driving experience.
The Timbren system comes with custom-fit brackets that are 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, 1" 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 that 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 increases resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping your vehicle level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's side or passenger's side of your 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 you are hauling off-center loads.
Because the vehicle handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along to the trailer, and this helps 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 a passing semi), because the movement from the trailer is not transferred to your vehicle. This also works to make the sway subside more quickly.
Another great feature of the rubber construction is that the springs absorb most of the road shock, creating a smoother, more stable ride overall when loaded. Wear and tear on the factory suspension is also lessened because the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement Systems are much easier to install than air springs - there are no air hoses to run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments to make. The rubber construction makes Timbren's springs more elastic than similar products constructed of microcellular urethane. And more elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride when loaded or towing because the rubber has more travel.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Timbren Rear Axle Suspension Enhancement System. Now this system is designed to fit your 2007 to 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500, your 2007 to 2015 Freightliner Sprinter 2500, your 2010 to 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, your 2016 to 2021 Freightliner Sprinter 2500, both two and four-wheel drives, then finally, your 2016 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, both two and four-wheel drives. On custom fit parts such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide. Enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comfortable that will work for you. Now, these hollow rubber springs have a capacity of 8,600 pounds, and they're going to sit above your rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle.
These springs are also going to give you additional support as needed so you're always gonna have a smooth, comfortable ride, allowing the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning light loads. They're going to ride just as smoothly when you're not hauling a load. They're gonna become more rigid as more weight is added for great performance. When you're hauling a heavy load, increasing stability and reducing vehicle sag. They are gonna work independently, adjusting side to side, helping compensate for off-center loads and reducing body roll when swerving and turning corners.
These springs also serve as shock absorbers, taking the brunt of bumps and rough roads, extending the life of your vehicle suspension. So this kit is going to include everything that you see here. You're gonna get two Aeon hollow rubber springs, you're gonna get the hardware that you need to successfully install these, along with instructions, and I do have the hardware installed here just so you can kind of see what it's going to look like when you have this together. Now, I mentioned at the beginning of our time together that the capacity is 8,600 pounds, it is important to note, however, that these Timbren springs will not actually increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, so you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. And these do have a lifetime warranty from Timbren.
Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.
Works great on my 2016 town and country for hauling my pop up camper.
Customer service is exceptional and any questions were answered immediately
Good product, I’ve attached a couple photos. The last one is a before and after
Works great on my Honda odessey !! Great customer service as always!
Very fast shipping, had product in 2 days! Very easy to install. Hardest part was lifting the RV.
Fast delivery. Disappointed with the instructions. Sense the item was ordered vehicle specific. The instructions said tighten bolts to manufactures specifications.
The product first arrived in a damaged box with one of the washers missing, but ETrailer did resupply that. The hardest part was finding a shop able (needs the right tools to depress coil springs) and willing (a potential liability issue messing with suspension) to replace it for a reasonable cost. Eventually a local tire shop agreed to. This was for a 2014 Honda Odyssey, especially for pulling a pop-up. Took two camping trips last summer, one before and one after installation, and I have been pleased with the added stiffness in the rear suspension. It made about 1 to 1.5 inch of difference in resting position when fully loaded and towing and has helped smooth out bumps and humps in the road - both when towing and not.
Great fitment
Fast Shipping
Very easy to install
BIG difference in handling a load or trailer ... what a great product!!!
Have not driven yet, just installed. Added Monroe coil-overs as well, thanks etrailer.
Excellent quality, good prices and great shipping ! Thanks
Delivery was fast, instal was quick & easy. Later today I will see how they work when I hook up to the 5th wheel. By all indications right now I believe they exceed my expectations.
I put this product on my Trooper. The install was easy is you take the back wheels off. I towed this weekend and I did not bottom out. If they hold up over time, this is a great product.
I would recommend this product to anyone. I pull trailers with a 1/2 ton truck and will never have another one without this product on it.
Price was good compared to other sites. Shipped very fast. Installation was very easy.
Put them on and it is exactly what I need to keep truck level when hauling fifth wheel. Easy to install too
Offers firm suppirt for loads. A little bouncy with no load. Easy to install.
Fit and functions as described. Installation was simple on my '05 Silverado.
It took longer to move the floor jack under the truck then to install them. Maybe 10 minutes total. Thanks Rex
15 mins to install and what a difference…. Went from a few inches of sag in the rear to only an inch and over 1000lbs tongue weight didn’t know the trailer was attached to the truck
This product was delivered quickly and efficiently. The quality of the product is excellent and look forward to seeing how they work when we are towing our trailer.
Holding up good a year after purchase, work great for pulling my camper
Noticed a significant decrease in the sag on my 250. Pulled great and would definitely recommend these to anyone on the fence about purchasing
