Features to know about

Smooth Out Rough Trails and Hard Landings: Progressive Rubber Spring Design

Off-road bumps and ruts can make your suspension hit hard when it bottoms out. These Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops use progressive-rate rubber springs that absorb axle energy instead of slamming to a stop. The result is smooth, predictable axle engagement and disengagement that keeps the ride controlled and quiet even when you hit the end of travel.

Handle Heavy Hits Without Giving Up Comfort: 2,000-lb Standard Capacity with 4,800-lb Bump Load

When the trail gets rough or the load in back starts to weigh down, these bumpstops step in to help. With a standard weight capacity of 2,000 lbs and a bump load rating of 4,800 lbs, they cushion rear suspension performance under pressure. You get better control and less jarring rebound when carrying gear or towing through uneven terrain.

Built to Take Abuse: Natural Rubber Compound and Powder-Coated Steel Brackets

Factory bumpstops don’t always hold up once the road gets rough. These are built stronger, using a natural rubber compound that stays flexible after years of off-road use. The steel brackets and disks are laser cut for precision, then finished with a durable powder coat for long-lasting protection against rust and abrasion.

Quick DIY Upgrade: Simple Bolt-On Installation with Included Hardware

Getting better suspension support doesn’t need to be complicated. These bumpstops install easily with the included hardware—no complex setup or special tools required. Once mounted, they’re ready to improve ride quality right away without changing how your suspension feels when unloaded.

Made a huge difference on my 5th gen. Have king suspension on it and used with toytec drop kit. Smoothed it out. Should have done this upgrade years ago. Pictures show oem, and timbren compressed on a curb. Even though they are active off-road I’m sure it will help with towing as well. Easy install.
by:
While towing my boat (2021 Tracker Pro Guide V-175/Mercury 115 ProXS, ~3,200lbs) in my 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium, I noticed a significant rear squat. Additionally, fellow motorists would flag me for “high beaming” when I was not. This squatting in the rear raised the front end and subsequent headlight alignment. After much research and review, I purchased the Timbren SES and installed it. With the vehicle hitch unloaded, the SES rides approximately 1.250” above the rear axel. With the boat loaded onto the hitch, the Timbren SES contacts the axel and holds the load firmly, maintaining a level vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ride was not greatly effected. Matter of fact, the vehicle rides much better while towing than before installing the SES. With the 3rd row seating in use, and the vehicle full of passengers, the rear passengers complained of a very bumpy ride and I noticed a very rough feel with hard bumps from the rear. After installing the Timbren SES, even with the boat on the hitch and the vehicle fully loaded, my 4Runner remains level and the ride is substantially improved. If you have 3rd row seating and/or plan on towing ANYTHING with your 4Runner, you absolutely need the Timbren SES. Installation is a breeze. Easiest accessory you’ll ever upgrade.

2013 Toyota 4Runner
My 2013 4runner was squatting in the rear when I coupled my 6X12 motorcycle trailer. I was very happy to have found the Timbren bump stop to simply bolt on and fix the problem. However.....during the installation I noticed I had to use ALL of the adjustment slot on the unit to TRY to center on the rear axle. I oriented the units as far towards the rear as the adjustment would allow.
When I coupled my trailer to the 4runner it correctly forced the Timbren bump stop to contact the axle and this is where the problem is.
The Timbren bump stop CAN NOT be adjusted far enough towards the rear to accomplish a centering on the axle. There is a 25% overhang of the bump stop on the axle front. When I communicated with Timbren about this they said" it's a good installation and it's ok". It is not ok.
Imagine that all of the force of a fully loaded truck will be negotiating curves, potholes, swoops and other hazards of the road at highway speeds. All of this stress is distributed on 75% of the product. It can't work as well as if it was 100% distribution. I felt the product was overpriced to begin with. After paying a premium price I expected a custom proper fit.
I can't recommend this product for Toyota 4runner owners.

I had no problems with the installation. It only took about 15 minutes to put these on! There is adjustment space on the brackets to let u be able to center product over rear axles. The pictures below show the product installed while my 4 runner is both raised up for installation and after lowering it down. When lowered down and jack removed I have about an inch clearance.
by:
Great product. They offer progressive dampening and eliminate any harsh bottom outs. They pair very well with extended travel rear shocks. T4R SR5 4x4 with icon 3” overland rear springs and Fox 2.5” DSC shocks.
by:
This product limits travel of the axle when you go over a speed bump or in a dip in the road. They replace the existing snubbers on the frame and extend down to within a half inch of the axle. It was an easy install with the tire removed and the car on jack stands. The replacement bolts go in the existing threaded connections. Start to finish was about 45 mins for me and I am no expert.

Once installed the car has a comfortable ride but speed bumps and pot holes have their bounce affect greatly reduced. I think these will improve my trailer towing future.

I used this on a 2019 4Runner TRD PRO I go on long over landing trips and the fox suspension can be kind of soft at times when fully loaded with gear. This helped with sag and also the ride off-road when fully geared out on stock suspension.

Install is straight forward. I would note that on my 2025 hybrid I had to cut the tie wraps from the remove wire clip and use my own zip ties. The spacing between tie wraps was far too short to simply move the clip to the new location on the timbren bracket.

I'm glad you were able to make it work even with the zip ties being too close together when trying to relocate them to make space for the bracket. What are you planning on towing with your Maverick?

If you remove your tire, it's extremely easy to access and install (at least on my 2026 4runner). I took a measurement to my hitch, with no load. It was 19 1/2". Then I attached my rv and with the factory bumpstops, it was 17 1/8". Then after the Timbren install, same load, it was 18 1/8". It reduced the "sag" by 1". Plus, I think the 4runner handles better on bumpy roads and turns.

For the vanilla review but five stars I don't notice the Timbren Off Road Bump Stops since they seem to be doing their job! I have been in the woods and towed our travel trailer with them with zero issues. I went with these verses the the overload type to mimick the OEM stops on my 2019 Ford Ranger. I didn't want to sacrifice rear axle articulation off road so I opted for the shorter stops. All works as it should. My truck doesn't squat any different from the OEMs with the trailer attached and loaded and the ride quality is the same which is what I was going for. Also much cheaper than the OEM replacements and better materials.
by:
Super easy to install and they definitely helped with my RV and it's tongue weight. However when I was hauling a load of wood in the back, they were just bump stops, fully compressed. I broke down and replaced them with air bags which are a huge pain to install with all the brackets but they work much better for heavy loads

  • Height of Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops for 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited and Trailer
    The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops - Rear Suspension - 2,000 lbs # TABSTORSEQ are not designed for your 2016 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited. You will instead want the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops - Rear Suspension - 2,400 lbs # TABSJRJK which are a confirmed fit for your vehicle. They measure 3-5/8 inches tall as you can see in the attached photo.

  • Comparing SumoSprings and Timbren Off-Road Bump Stops for 2023 Toyota 4Runner
    The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops part # TABSTORSEQ which are a fit for a 2023 Toyota 4Runner are pretty similar to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs like part # SS68DR. The Timbrens provide more support but the SumoSprings ride smoother. Therefore, it all comes down to preference and how you'll be using them. I personally prefer the SumoSprings as they offer the best of both worlds, ride quality and support. The only difference between the SumoSprings part # SS68DR and part...

  • Reducing Rear Sag on a 2008 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    Both the SumoSprings # SS68DR and Timbren # TABSTORSEQ will help with the sag you are experiencing, however, I prefer the SumoSprings # SS68DR. This has to do with them increasing their stiffness with the the more weight that is added to them. This will keep the ride quality as close to stock as possible when not towing while still providing the support when needed. The Timbren # TABSTORSEQ is very similar to the SumoSprings, but is made with a more robust rubber. This will have better...

  • Suspension Enhancement Product for 2021 Toyota 4Runner Towing Travel Trailer
    Given the 400 lb tongue weight you'll be dealing with, the Timbren # TTORSEQ which has a 6000 lb capacity would be your best choice. That being said, I'd recommend the # SS78DR SumoSpring instead. The SumoSprings # SS78DR have an 1800 lb capacity which would be plenty for the 400 lb tongue weight of your travel trailer, and are constructed of a more pliable material which would provide you plenty of support and a better ride quality when the system is under load.

  • Recommended Rear Suspension System For 2013 Toyota 4Runner For Towing And Off-Road Use
    If you are planning on off-road travel with your 4Runner, I recommend the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops, part # TABSTORSEQ. These are designed to cushion the ride of your truck and absorb the shock when bottoming out when you are off-road as you said or when there is a load on the rear of your truck. When you install the Timbrens, the instructions state you want between 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches of clearance between the rubber spring and the contact point on your truck. This means you will...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD
    I recommend using the Timbren jounce-style suspension enhancement for your 2020 Toyota 4Runner because it is a quick installation and once you're done there is absolutely no maintenance. Since no air has to be added these kits simply work when they are needed and you don't have to think about them. For standard use you need part # TTOFTAC4A for the front and part # TTORSEQ for the rear, but if you plan on going off-road you need part # TABSTOF for the front and part # TABSTORSEQ for the rear.

  • What Is Overall Height Of Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops TABSTORSEQ For 2013 Toyota 4Runner
    The installation instructions state that the bump stops are installed with 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches of space between the rubber spring and the contact point on pick-up trucks and vans. That is the amount of travel before it makes contact and starts to cushion the ride. The total height of the system from the mounting plate to the bottom of the rubber spring is right at 5 inches.

For a 2018 4Runner that is a 2 wheel drive we have the Timbren Rear Suspension # TTORSEQ which is also rated for 6,000 lbs and will do a great job at helping with towing but they weren't built for off-road use...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2022 Toyota 4Runner
    For improved off-road, I suggest going with the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops, # TABSTOF for the front and the Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops, # TABSTORSEQ for the rear. Using Timbren's Active Off-Road Bumpstops provides greater control over the vehicle's suspension travel. The progressive rubber springs absorb the harsh jolt at the end of axle travel.

  • Installing Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops on 2016 Toyota 4Runner with 1-1/2 Inch Lift
    The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops # TABSTORSEQ referenced in your question are confirmed to fit your 2016 Toyota 4Runner. As you mentioned, you should have 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inch gap between the rubber spring and contact point when the vehicle is empty. The closer to around 1 inch, the better. In order to maintain that gap with the 1-1/2 inch lift you have on your 4Runner, you can simply add a Timbren Spacer like the 1/2 inch # TA25722-90P00 or the 1 inch # A25723-90AH00 to close...
