An example of sag on a vehicle's rear axle under a heavy load

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.


Diagram of the Timbren spring installed

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.


Animation of a standard Timbren rubber spring

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.


Timbren suspension system works to prevent body roll

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.


An example of a trailers swaying

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.


An empty truck on a bumpy road without Timbren

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 Suspension Enhancement Compared to the Competition

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.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement Fit For 2022 Ram 1500
    The correct Timbren suspension enhancement fit for your 2022 Ram 1500 will actually depend on the cab style of your truck. The Crew Cab and Quad Cab are different fits than the Regular Cab, so you'll want to choose the right one based on that: - Crew Cab & Quad Cab: Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DQ - Regular Cab: Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS Timbrens were a really nice choice for your Ram because of how much they will help its handling...

  • How to Address a Sagging Rear End in a 2017 Ram 1500 Pulling a Travel Trailer
    Congrats on the new truck! I saw you were looking at suspension enhancement but I want to point you towards using a weight distribution system to address the sagging. It will level out your truck and trailer by transferring some of the weight from your Ram's rear axle to the front. Your 2021 Forest River Vibe 26RK has a tongue weight right around 1,000 lbs when fully loaded. With this in mind, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control item # EQ37120ET....

  • Best Suspension Enhancement for a 2016 Ram 1500
    There is certainly some give and take when adding suspension enhancements to a vehicle. The give being that you will sacrifice some of the ride quality while towing/loaded and the take being that you gain some of the suspensions strength back while towing/loaded. If you think about it, the suspension enhancements will stiffen the stock suspension to eliminate sag with a heavy trailer so it will be difficult to maintain the factory ride quality after they are installed. The best option...

  • Suspension Enhancement Options For 2018 Ram 1500 With In-Bed Gooseneck Hitch
    Hello Al. You are correct that the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88365 will not work with a B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch. The brackets go in the exact same place and there is no way to safely modify either of the brackets to make it work. The next best option for air suspension will be the Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit # F2595. These replace the factory coil springs with an air helper spring. This gives you the adjustability of an air bag, so you can level your ride while...

    You would want to go with the Timbren kit that fits your 2020 Ram 1500 part # TDR1500DS and then since you have a 6 inch lift you'd need a quantity of 12 of the Timbren 1 inch spacers # A25723-90AH00 to take up the extra space.

  • Timbren Kit Recommendation for 2016 Ram 1500 Towing 6,000 lb Trailer
    Your camper that weighs 6,000 lbs is going to have a tongue weight figure of 600-900 lbs so based on that I would go with a lighter duty Timbren part # TDR1500DS which has the 6,000 lb rating. The problem with the higher capacity Timbrens is that they cause the ride to be a bit harsh so they should only be used whenever absolutely necessary.

    For your 2018 Ram 1500 the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS will work perfectly. These hollow rubber springs feature a 6,000 pound capacity that will do a great job of providing additional support to the rear suspension and leveling everything out when you're under load.

    The # TDR1500DS Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System will help reduce or get rid of the sag you are experiencing with your 2017 Ram 1500. These will also help improve overall handling and give you a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability.

  • Why Would Weight Distribution System Still Allow Trailer to Cause Vehicle Suspension Sag
    Pop ups like what you have are pretty cool since they allow you to bring ATVs with you pretty easily. The problem is that you end up concentrating so much weight on the front of the trailer you end up with quite a bit more tongue weight when loaded vs. unloaded. Typically a properly rated weight distribution system will eliminate the sag you described. But that assumes two things.. That the tongue weight capacity of your vehicle isn't being exceeded and that the tongue weight range of the...

  • Do Adjustments Need to be Made With Weight Distribution on 2019 Ram 1500 w/ Timbrens
    Hi Jeremy; that's a good question and you'll actually need to go ahead and re-do the set up of your weight distribution system after adding the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS to your 2019 Ram 1500. So it wouldn't just be making adjustments because your truck will be more level with the Timbrens. It will be worth it though since adding Timbrens will help ensure you are level to improve your Ram's handling.

  • Difference Between Timbren # TDR1500DS and # TDR1500DQ for 2011 Ram 1500
    Both the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DS and # TDR1500DQ that you referenced are designed to fit the 2011 Ram 1500, but there are a couple differences that may factor into which set will work for your specific model Ram and application. The Timbren # TDR1500DQ is not a fit for regular cab models of your Ram 1500, while the # TDR1500DS will fit this model perfectly. If you have the regular cab, you will want to go with # TDR1500DS. If not, then another deciding factor...

  • Recommended Solution to Fix Sag While Towing with a 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn
    In this case, I recommend using the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-307-47 because they'll do a bit better job of keeping the factory ride nice and comfortable; these springs provide 1500-lbs of load leveling capacity, so your trailer's tongue weight and the weight of any payload should be considered.

  • Does Suspension Sag Need to Be Factored in When Determining Ball Mount Rise/Drop
    Since the goal when picking out the correct rise/drop ball mount is to tow the trailer as level as possible you would want to compensate for sag like you mentioned. 3 inches of sag is quite a bit but you'd need to factor it in when towing if that's what you are experiencing. To combat the sag a great option is the Timbern kit part # TDR1500DS which will fit your 2017 Ram 1500 as long as you don't have factory air suspension.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Ram 1500 Towing Travel Trailer

This has a support capacity of 6,000 lbs which will do a great job to give you the additional support you want without being so stiff that the ride quality suffers.

I would recommend The Sumo Springs # SSR-307-47 over the Timbrens.

The SumoSprings will help restore the sagging as well as give you a smoother ride than the Timbrens. As far as compatibility, the SumoSprings will fit on both 2-wheel and 4-wheel drive models. They also do not require any maintenance after they are installed. If you need help with the installation of the SumoSprings...
