Great for trucks with front-end loads like plows, these hollow rubber springs help level your ride, reduce road shock, and improve roll stability. They install easily in place of factory bump stops - no air lines or maintenance needed.
Adding a snow plow or heavy front bumper can cause your truck to sag in the front, messing with ride height and visibility. With a massive 6,500-lb load support rating, this system keeps your front end level - so your headlights stay aimed right and your truck drives like it should, no matter what's hanging off the front.
Hard braking or sudden stops can cause your truck to nose-dive, especially under load. These Aeon rubber springs have a progressive rate that absorbs small bumps but gets firmer under heavier compression, helping keep your truck flat and planted when it counts.
No need to monitor air pressure, run lines, or deal with a compressor. These rubber springs are solid, self-contained, and always ready - just install and go. Perfect if you want added support without adding complexity under the hood.
You won't need to drill, cut, or modify your suspension. These springs bolt right into the spot where your stock bump stops sit, making the upgrade straightforward even if your truck sees rough winter jobs or farm duty.
If your truck lives in the cold - think road salt, slush, and sub-zero mornings - these springs are made to handle it. The rubber construction stays flexible in the cold and resists cracking and corrosion over time.
Whether you're plowing a tight driveway or hauling tools down a backroad, extra weight up front can throw off your balance. These springs cut down body roll and front-end sway so your steering feels more responsive and the truck tracks straighter - even when fully loaded.

Hi, everyone. Steve here with etrailer. Today we're taking a look at the Front Suspension Enhancement System with Aeon Hollow Rubber Springs. This is going to be a maintenance-free upgrade, designed to improve the ride quality, stability, and overall driving confidence. And these are rated at 4,000 pounds capacity. So folks, these are custom fit.
Make sure you're getting the right parts to fit your specific needs. And it looks like these fit a 2014 through 27 Ford Transit, the T150 through 350, both the cargo van variance and the passenger wagon variance. So again, make sure you're double checking that fit guide. Now at the hardest system, as I mentioned, are these Aeon hollow rubber springs, and these are going to progressively engage as your suspension compresses. That means you're going to get a comfortable ride during those normal driving times, while additional port is there when you need it most.
Now, unlike traditional air springs, these rubber springs require no airlines, no compressors, no maintenance. So they're a one time, one and done kind of install, I like to say. And they're very reliable, they work automatically. Now the additional front end support here is going to help reduce your suspension sagging. It can reduce body roll, excessive front end diving while braking, those kind of things, while overall it's going to improve your vehicle's handling, control, and even the feeling in the steering wheel.
A lot of neighbors have told us it makes a big difference with that as well. Now these are going to be especially beneficial if they we inchesre used on like a truck with heavy bumpers, winches, snowplows, those kind of things. In this case, again, it's cargo vans, passenger wagons. A lot of times it's probably work trucks, work vehicles. And so you have a lot of gear in the back, but you also want to stop when you're breaking all that body roll from happening and these just make a big difference.
So the installation, it's going to use vehicle-specific mounting hardware. And again, it's a pretty fast installation. If you don't want to tackle the install, we got you covered. You can check out our install locator link below, and based on your zip code, we can pair you with trusted etrailer installation locations around the nation. So folks, again, whether you're hauling gear, towing, or simply looking for a more controlled ride, these timber and front suspension enhancements are going to be a great option for you. I'm Steven. Thanks for watching.
Ratings & Reviews
We put them on a Ram 1500 that we installed a plow on and it was too low. These worked perfect! The plow sits up much higher now!
Not even close to being long enough to ever hit the front axel. I Put them on the rear and really like them but still had to buy the spacer kit. They work great but having to spend more on the spacer kit makes it expensive!!
This is the 2nd set of Front Timbrens that I’ve installed, the Original set were on my Truck for Approx 10yrs…
I also have them on the Back Suspension aswell and they work well ????
In addition to the rear I installed front Timbren suspension improvements. With the “Safe T Plus” steering damper also installed, the ride was such an improvement from the white knuckle eyes bulging ride before. Test ride on a very windy day with cross winds I barely noticed. The rough road also made little impact. I could not be happier.
These Timbren’s were very easy to install. Between front and back it took an hour 1 1/2 hours. Did the job at my storage lot with a right angle battery impact driver, breaker bar and wrenches. Lowered the leveling jacks enough to make room.
I haven't had a chance to install the plow on my Jeep to see how this works, but installation was super easy (aside from getting the old bolts from the original rubber axle bumpers out).
Installation instructions say to re-use the original hardware, however my box included new bolts which is awesome since the old ones were pretty rounded after getting them off.
Once the old bolts were removed, installation only required a few wrenches and a rubber mallet. Assembling the rubber "spring" to the mounting bracket took a little ingenuity - the bolt that holds them together is JUST short enough that I needed to insert a washer sideways in my socket to be able to push the bolt enough to engage the threads in the bracket, then it was easy.
Mounting the assembled unit to the Jeep was easy - just put the first bolt partially into the frame then slide the unit under the head, then you can adjust the alignment and put in the second bolt. I used the rubber mallet to get the rubber "spring" to sit on top of the axle and align it so that is was directly above the axle. Then just tightened the bolts, and done.
I used 1 box end wrench and the rest sockets. The first bolt that goes in sits just above the round flange on the bracket so a socket won't fit. The second bolt is easily secured using a socket.
I hope this gives my 1993 Wrangler YJ Jeep the extra strength to support my plow - I am taking the plow off of another Jeep (same basic model) which had leaf springs that got SQUASHED and actually reversed (frowning face rather than happy face) so I'm hoping these suspension enhancers will prevent this from happening.
I have a very heavy "Cattle Guard" on the front of my RAM 3500 and this combined with the heavy 4WD and diesel engine the extra support from the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System definitely keeps the front suspension from bottoming out.
The timbrens actually did what they were suppose to do. However, once I starter driving out west I notice the timbrens were riding on the axle which cause the speedometer to jump around depending on the road. I would recommend them if you are hauling or towing a camper or RV. I was going to contact etrailer about maybe removing a spacer for one set however the other set came as one unit. The bottom line is the Timbrens does stabilize your load for safe travels. I will be contacting etrailer soon to assist in correcting the problem...Road trip from Idaho,Colorado,Wyoming,and Utah were beautiful... Thank you etrailer
The bump stoppers are solid and the directions for installation were clear, even for DIY. The Ford F53 chassis for the Entegra Emblem is challenging to navigate. We found two sets of hands worked best. And installing the bolt from the top of the frame with the washer and nut below worked best.
I had a problem with getting front sumo springs relative to the rear sumo springs I purchased earlier; however, the staff at etrailer were very helpful in getting me a suspension enhancement component made by timbren which I just installed. I believe the timbren supports are going to do the job I was looking for and make me just as happy as I am with the rear sumo springs. You will notice from the photos the supports make direct contact; however, the pictures were taken on a unlevel surface and when the truck is on a level surface the direct contact is equal on either side. Also, the timbren supports provide substantially more weight capacity in the event I choose to haul my scooter on the front end of the truck. Thanks again Derek S and etrailer staff I am very pleased with the service, customer relations and professionalism experienced when ordering my parts. Thank you, Bobby (Louisiana).
A+++ Excellent product and customer service. Bought both front and rear suspension enhancements and worth it. Highly recommend.
I like using Etrailer because i can call and talk to a person. These front ones went in pretty easy just like directions said. and they got rid of the bad bumping sound in my front end after hitting a bump. smoothed things right out.
I installed Timbren’s front and rear on my 2020 F53 chassis motorhome. They are by far the best suspension upgrade I have done. I had previously installed Super Steer Trac Bar, Radius Rods and Safe-T-Plus, which had helped, but not as much as I had hoped. The Timbren’s finalized the package and it drives good now.
Easy install, didn't even need the brackets for my application. Really helped with sidesway in the wind and seems to help the front from dipping with extra weight. Haven't tried plowing snow yet but I think they will make a major difference
Ok it’s been a year since I’ve had the springs and I’m impressed. With how easy the install is and what you get out of it these are truly amazing. No more “squishy” feeling when towing my 22fy travel trailer. The ride is a little bumpy but I don’t care. I’m glad I found these.
For me surprisingly easy to install at 67 years old. Had immediate handling improvement and steering control.
Have them on several trucks now and couldn't imagine running snow plows without anymore.
The front Timbren are working very good.The rear not so good
Install was straightforward. Hardest part was getting the old bump stops out. Sway was greatly reduced on the Interstate and the rock and roll by passing semis was greatly reduced. Wish I had bought these sooner!
These bumpstops really work, they stop the front end vibration before it travels through the shocks and springs, for a smooth ride
Pretty pricey but well worth it. Put these all the way around at the same time as new rear leaf springs on our c7500 topkick and it made a huge difference. It's a top heavy bucket truck and it would rock and roll just turning a corner to the point it was downright scary. Now thats greatly reduced. They also smoothed out the ride especially when loaded more than I expected.
Install was simple, perfect fit. Worst part was grinding out the rivet on the old bracket
I watched installation videos for my FFF 53 Timbren suspension parts three times to familiarize myself with what I was going to be doing. This did help. I would say you need a little bit of experience in working on cars or trucks. This is a straightforward job with no fabricating needed. The hardware was correct. The instructions were correct. The parts fit great. I did this installation by myself. Another set of hands wouldn’t hurt but not necessary. If you’re on the fence on buying parts from Timbren, I would say go ahead and place your order.
Installation was not too hard, Install Videos explain all steps in great detail. BumpStops arrived in excellent condition and was delivered in a timely manner
I love these things. They are worth the upfront expense. I have them on two ¾'s, one ½, and a minivan for road trips. This particular set is full-time active up front. I have a 2" leveling kit and I'm in em no matter what. Zero complaints though. Solid performance through all aspects. I don't run any front-end attachments.
I have a 2006 Kodiak 2 wheel drive. Timbrin firmed up the front end to much. There in full contact with the spring. I think it to stuff and I might be removing them. The install was straight forward. Parts are as expected and quality of Timbrin is great. Just not enough cush..
Great ordering, shipping time, cost, and supporting information. We added a snow plow and the product did everything as advertised.
