3,000-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.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. And today we're gonna take a look at this Timbren rear axle suspension enhancement system. And this is a custom fit part that is designed to fit the 1970-1986 Ford van E-150. To confirm that these are gonna work for your vehicle, take advantage of our vehicle fit guide on our website and input the year, make and model of your vehicle. And our fit guide will let you know if these will work for your vehicle or if we have another rear axle suspension enhancement system that will work for your vehicle. These hollow rubber Springs with a 3000 pound capacity are going to sit above your rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle.
They improve your suspension, handling and safety. And these Springs also provide additional support as needed, so you always have a smooth, comfortable ride, allowing the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning light loads. They're going to ride just as smoothly when you're not hauling a load. And they become more rigid as more weight is added for great performance when you're hauling a heavy load, increasing stability and reducing vehicle sag. They work independently adjusting side-to-side helping compensate for off-center loads and reducing body roll when swerving and turning corners.
Now these springs also act as shock absorbers, taking the brunt of bumps and rough roads, thereby extending the life of your vehicle's suspension. Now this kit includes everything that you see on the table here before me. You're gonna get two Aeon hollow, rubber springs, custom fit brackets and hardware for simple installation. They're gonna install directly onto your frame and there's no drilling required to install these. As I mentioned, the capacity is 3000 pounds.
However, it is important to note, that these Timbren Springs will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity. So you wanna make sure that you do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit. And these do have a limited lifetime warranty. And instructions are included. Well, that's gonna conclude our brief look today.
I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..
Made a big difference in how the vehicle tows when we have the camper hooked.
Great product and great customer service
My second set due to buying a new truck. I consider these vital when towing a TT with my F150. They maintain a correct ride height and reduce sway dramatically. At the same time, they do not affect unloaded ride quality...easy to install too!
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.
Easy installation. However, product has not been tested in a manner appropriate to provide rating.
Works great. Truck rides as normal without load. Load it up and they engage and the truck rides level.
Great communication and great delivery time. Just finished placing them on my truck. Easy 45min work. Thanks etrailer.
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.
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!
Don't see $500 worth of parts. Not even close. 2 rubber bump spots and a bracket.
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.
I have not used them yet. I will do that this weekend. But man they were easy to install. The instructions were great and easy to follow. So far so good.
Shipping was so efficient arrived days before estimated. Order was placed and within an hour was shipped!!!
Hitch fit great and the instructions were easy to follow.
Works great on my 2016 town and country for hauling my pop up camper.
had this product before. left it on my old truck when I traded. Now I have to replace it, really like what it does for my towing a travel trailer. just have to find time to put it on. speedy delivery arrived undamaged, which is nice.
Product fits as described. Will try out when I tow my travel trailer in a few weeks.
Got here quick and complete. Used the spacers for my preferred gap and installation was a snap.
Still holding up great after a years worth of use.
Fast delivery. Disappointed with the instructions. Sense the item was ordered vehicle specific. The instructions said tighten bolts to manufactures specifications.
Item arrived as described and very fast shipping. Thanks for the great service.
