2,000-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.

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.
Great customer service!
Easy install, test drive went well. Looks like the fix that was needed!
Works great, easy install
It took 3 hours from start to finish the old stops took the most time to remove once installed we went for a ride with the slide in camper it was amazing I would recommend it to others
Improved stability quite a bit on my Lance 815 Tundra combination.
Fast shipping
They worked as advertised. I would buy this product again.
Easy installation. 15 mins total time. Highly recommended if tow anything.
I can't offer five stars yet, as I haven't installed them yet. I have to do some other work on the rear axle first. However, I did a fit test on one of them and they will work as advertised.
I’ve ordered a lot of things from this company over the years and they are always very helpful and very prompt the timbren suspension blocks have always worked great for me I’ve bought many sets over the years very easy to install
So far they look great. I will put on this weekend and see how they work with my travel trailer.
Easy to install. You may need an impact wrench to break loose the u-bolts that have to be loosened.
Worked better than I excepted. I have a old pickup with really tired suspension and this product made it better than new.
Worked excellent for trailering.
Works great will never have air bags ag ain
Install was a breeze, can't wait to tow our camper with these babies on the Tundra
Would be great to have better instructions and car specific.
So far so good works great, now let's see how long they last?
Fast delivery and easy installation
I actually found that airbags worked better for my truck and trailer. I ordered those from you as well. May I return the Timbrens for at least partial store credit?
Quick delivery and exactly as described!
I have not fully loaded my Odyssey yet BUT compare to original “pacifiers” which are made from kinda tough popcorn, those timbers are looking reliable.
Exact fit and fast shipping!
Easy to install. Works as advertised. Etrailer rocks!
Easy installation. Good quality.
