5,600-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:
When hauling heavy loads in the cargo area or by pulling 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 more of the vehicle's weight as well. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall vehicle handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. The resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with the vehicle's factory suspension to keep the vehicle level and improve your driving performance.
The Timbren system has a vehicle-specific bracket that will be 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 one inch 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 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 provides increased resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping the vehicle level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's or passenger's side of the 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 hauling off-center loads.
Because the vehicle handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along to the trailer helping 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 passing of a semi) because the movement from the trailer is not transferred to the vehicle. This also works to make the sway subside quicker.
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 as the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.
Compared to the competition:
Timbren's suspension enhancement systems are much easier to install than air springs - no air hoses are needed to be run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments necessary. The rubber construction causes Timbren's springs to be more elastic than similar products constructed of micro-cellular urethane. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride when loaded or towing because the rubber has more travel.
Very easy to install. I got the product in two days. Love etrailer products. THANKS.
nice ride with my 5th wheel
Excellent communication and insane fast shipping!
Just installed on 2008 Hyundai Entorouge seems to work well. Only problem was that I had buy new hardware because the supplied hardware was standard not metric.
Product does not help rear swag with fifth wheel camper but a half inch. On brand new truck as well. Not happy with product. Called to return them and want me to pay 27.00 shipping and stated in email that was sent to me I couldn’t return if installed. I’m not understanding this ? Do not buy ! I won’t be doing any more business with etrailer . Not helpful at all
Works like expected. Keeps the truck looking level even under heavy loads.
Fast delivery and easy installation

Product arrived on time and does exactly what it describes. Little stiffer ride without a load but with a load it made my truck handle so much better at low and high speed.
Just as overtired , they stiffened up the ride , plus no more sag in rear ended of truck .
Just received them just install them looks like they work great etrailer is always right on spot
Just what my truck needed to stop the sag when I hook up to my 5th wheel.
Excellent customer service
Excellent addition to my hd truck makes towing a lot easier
Super fast to instal and make towing my 36ft camper a much smoother ride!
Very quick delivery, earlier than I expected. Easy to install. Just what was needed for rear weight support when pulling a trailer.
Easy to install and does not affect the ride till you have a load, then they help support the load. Good product!
