8,600-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. Easy to install and use.

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.

Hello everybody, this is Jeff at etrailer.com. Today, we're gonna take a look at this Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. Now, this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2002 to 2019 Ford F-53 chassis vehicles. And on a custom fit part like this one, I do recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, putting your year and model vehicle, and it'll show you if this will work for your application. Now these parts here will improve the suspension, the handling and safety of your vehicle.
These do provide additional support as needed. So you always have a nice, smooth, comfortable ride. Basically, it allows the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning any light loads. And it does not affect the empty ride of the vehicle. Basically, it'll become more rigid as more weight is added.
It increases stability, provides great performance while hauling heavy loads. And it'll even reduce vehicle sag. And what's nice with these is they do work independently side to side. They'll help compensate for any off-center loads. They do reduce body roll when you're swerving or turning corners.
And they'll actually act as shock absorbers also, taking the brunt of the bumps in rough roads. This does extend the life of your vehicle suspension. Now it does include these two AE-on hollow rubber springs, all the vehicle-specific mounting brackets with the hardware, even a nice set of instructions that describes how everything goes together. And when you do install these, these do replace the axle bump stops on the frame. There's no drilling required.
A few specs on this, the capacity on this kit is 8,600 pounds. Now the Timbren Springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So you do always wanna make sure not to exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit. And this is designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order. But that's gonna do it for the review on this Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System.
Helps a lot with trailer loads. Would buy again.
With an impact gun, was easy to install replacing the stock bumpers. Worked great with an 18' trailer and tractor on my truck. Much less sag and stiffer ride.
Easy installation except the passenger side is a little harder.
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.
Really helped with the support of my trailer.. excellent product
Received the product promptly. Exactly what I needed .... decided on this instead of air bags since I only tow a boat.
super easy to install. I only used the jack to hold the u-bolts in place. Can't wait to put them to use!
Great communication and great delivery time. Just finished placing them on my truck. Easy 45min work. Thanks etrailer.
As advertised the product was easy to put in on my 2019 ram crewcab tradesman 4x4 pickup. Can't wait to try them out when i use my 20' travel trailer.
Made a big difference in how the vehicle tows when we have the camper hooked.
AS advertised, used a wooden block and the vehicles weight to press in. A small amount of liquid dish soap also helps . Much stiffer than the original, will find out in two weeks when traveling west with the trailer attached. A+ so far.
Works great. Truck rides as normal without load. Load it up and they engage and the truck rides level.
Great product and great customer service
Don't see $500 worth of parts. Not even close. 2 rubber bump spots and a bracket.
Easy installation. However, product has not been tested in a manner appropriate to provide rating.
The install was very straight forward and if one can turn a wrench or follow instructions no problem, Haven't carried a load or towed yet but normal service is as normal.
Great customer service and great price! Jamea answered all my questions and was very helpful!
Made a huge difference - not just in load management when hauling 30 sheets of plywood, but greatly improved the handling & ride in my front-wheel drive work van. I just traded in for a newer model van, so I'm getting the same units again!
Very fast shipping! Great product! Thank you much!!
I bought these for a 2020 Ram 2500 because they had great reviews here and at a lot of other places around the internet. They do not fit correctly. On the passenger side, they are almost touching the frame with no load in the bed or on the hitch. The ride is absolutely terrible, very rough and painful. The ONLY time it's tolerable is with my 3000 pound camper in the bed of the truck. I would have returned these, but I waited a few months to install them, so it was too late by the time I realized how bad they were for my application. If you have a truck that is always loaded with a lot of weight, this would be awesome. Otherwise, spend the extra money and get air bags. I will be installing air bags and throwing these in the trash.
Installed on my 2018 Raptor. Easy install, works great, and no sag pulling my toy hauler.
Strainer/basket is holding up well after one year of use in our RV, no issues.
serve its purpose. just something extra to help with my towing
These look like they will cure the evils of the heavy load God's. Easy to install and they look like they are quite stout. I will find out in a couple of weeks from now.
Great product and great service.
