6,000-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.
etrailer was very helpful in getting the products I needed quickly.
Arrived early; easy to install, and damped all aspects of truck ride considerably; especially when towing. Love it.
Excellent product that was easy to install. These definitely helped to reduce the sag while towing. However, they did make things a bit more bouncy when going over bumps. I'll take that over the sag and swaying of my trailer any day.
haven't had a chance to install yet too cold out.if possible send again in a couple of weeks and I will leave you a review thanks.
The bump stops worked better than expected.
Put them on my 2018 gmc 2500 and it rides like there is no trailer behind us. Well worth the price
Prompt delivery... even better than quoted!
Simple installation.
This is the second truck I have put these on. They work great and are much cheaper than an air bag system.
Arrived ahead of schedule, thank you.
Will install this weekend hopefully if weather permits.
Fair pricing and great service...
Thank you
So far all I have done was the install. It goes just like they said. As installations go pretty straightforward and easy.
Great product very easy to install. Levels truck back to factor height when loaded and makes for better cornering with out affecting ride good job.
Great product,fast shipment,direct fit. Video was very helpful and made my decision easy. Put on f150 to help with towing a camper.
The shipment tracking system is the best I've seen. The pricing matched what my mechanic brother-in-law could get.
Was easy to install and helped with vehicle sag when towing trailer. Great product
Delivered on time and installation was vey simple.
Fast delivery, easy to install with a floor jack
I installed them in F 150 2016.
Very good, easy to install, greatly improved the handling and control of the vehicle.
Very easy to install 30 min. tops. Have not tried them with the trailer yet but I'm sure they will do the trick. Very pleased!
Rubbers installed as your instructions said. 15 min. install time. Have not loaded truck yet. Will keep you informed.
verry
Makes my F150 town my trailer real good
Haven't had an opportunity to put these on yet. Heck, haven't even bought the travel trailer that makes these necessary yet. But they look like what I need and they seem well built. I'll update when the time comes.
They work great, just what I needed for the heavy trailer.
Easy install and works great.
Installation was as expected. It came in a very fast time. I haven’t tried them with a load on the truck but I’m sure they’ll be great.
They work great. Hauled my camper about 3hrs with a 325# tongue weight and the 4runner sat flat and drove great. I like these better than air bag and they install in less than 30mins. No more inflating and deflating then inflating and deflating for the trip home.
