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.

by:

Can’t beat it for the price! While towing my fifth wheel, excellent handling, much smoother ride over bumps and reduces sagging. When not towing you have your factory comfortable ride. A fraction of the cost of air bags and hassle free. Set it and forget it. Highly recommend!



by:

I pull 34 ft fifth wheel trailer and 16 ft fishing boat behind pick up. I don’t have the sway or bounce as before. Glad I installed. Helped stop the bounce between three unites when you go over rough road.



by:

Awesome fantastic service



by:

The product was definitely high quality but it did not resolve sagging issue as suggested. It would be nearly impossible for the truck to sag far enough for these to make contact with the axle. Very expensive no fix.



by:

Did exactly what I wanted...kept the truck level with my 5th wheel camper hooked up. Originally truck was not that bad but at night I was getting high beamed. Made just enough of a difference to eliminate that.



by:

Product works perfectly as described on your website, really makes all the difference in the world while towing my cabin cruiser down the road,great Product.



by:

A little more harsh on the bounces than I would like when unloaded. When loaded works as it should.



by:

Easy to install, They work great, However they do make the truck ride quite a bit rougher without a load.



by:

The Timbren rear suspension system has essentially eliminated the side to side sway of our Ram 2500 Tradesman with a slide in camper. The ride may now be a bit firmer (harder) but not by much. I have not yet taken it off road, but when I do I will update this review if it is a problem.



by:

Don't do a lot of towing or hauling with vehicle it is installed on, but when weight has been added it really gives truck a more sturdy secure feel. Improved stance with no load. Happy with purchase.



by:

The install was straight forward on our 2020 Jayco Alante 31V and completed in a short time. It has made a significant positive difference in the ride, even when towing Thx much.

by:

Fast service fit perfect as always



by:

Ordered and came quicker than I expected. Installed easy but haven’t got to tow with them installed but I think are going to help greatly.



by:

Easy install, perfect fit on my 2019 Ram 3500.



by:

Helped the motorhome so much



by:



by:

This is a great product. I installed it on my 2006 Toyota Sienna with new shocks. We tow a pop-up camper and would bottom out sometimes. It also improved the way the van drove with a load attached to it. Well worth the money.



by:

Excellent quality. Easy to install. And work like a charm! Highly recommend this product to anybody that hauls heavy loads and doesn’t want their vehicle squatted down.



by:

They helped in keeping my 2005 Dakota from squatting so much when pulling my boat and made it easier to pull, they did make truck stiffer which lead to a rougher ride when not pulling the boat that’s why I gave it a four star and not a five





by:

Very pleased with the product. So much better than stock. Have not used them for heavy towing or hauling yet, but I will be using them and my truck very soon. Looking forward to experiencing the results I have read about. Only difficult part was the install. They are tough to get in, but with a little patience they do pop in.



by:

Easy to install. Search for [online] videos for tips and the proper 15mm ratcheting wrench to buy. Reduces rear end sag when loading the 5th wheel from about 2" to about 1" and makes the ride smoother. I did remove the rear wheels to install these. Easier that way.



by:



by:

Eliminated the back end squat with the trailer loaded down. Since the clearance between the bump stop and axel is reduced, you will notice it on things like speed bumps. Overall, excellent product and simple install.



by:

Great customer service!!

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For A 2020 Ford F-150 Towing Occasional Loads
    Hey Dave, The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E you referenced is a fit for your F-150, but it has a 6,000lb capacity so it'll give you an terrible ride unloaded ride quality. These would be great if you're heavy hauling all the time but for occasional use you'll definitely want to go with something lower capacity like the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SS28UV. These have a 1,500lb capacity to help with your varying loads and have a much softer progression...

  • Recommended Rear Axle Suspension Kit for 2018 Ford F-150 4WD Short Bed
    The best choice of rear axle suspension kit for your 2018 F-150 will depend on the type of towing or hauling you're doing. All rear-axle kits for your 4WD F-150 appear on the linked page. If you are routinely hauling cargo loads of widely varying weight then an adjustable air bag setup will give you the ability to match the bag air pressure to suit each different load. If you are towing a 5th wheel then you can get good results from a lower-cost jounce spring kit from Timbren that will...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2018 Ford F-150 Towing Trailer
    Hey Keith, 3-4 inches of sag when your trailer is hooked up is quite a bit. That makes me think your weight distribution system is not properly rated for the tongue weight of your trailer, your trailer is much heavier than what your truck is rated for, or your lift kit was not designed to be towing with it installed. Now with that said for that much sag a Timbren kit like the part # TFR1504E with the correct spacers to compensate for your lift kit would be your best option. How much of...

    Hey Dave, yeah if you have a leveling kit that lowered the suspension height that will cause your harsh ride quality problem as the suspension will essentially be riding on the Timbrens all the time. Everything we offer is for stock height vehicles BUT SumoSprings has told us that their kits like the part # SS28UV that fits your truck can be cut down. So based on that the SumoSprings would be what I would recommend. You would be able to trim these down if needed but they also are known...

  • Towing 5th Wheel Trailer with 2018 Ford F-150 with 5-1/2 Foot Bed
    I was able to pull up the online towing specs for your 2018 Ford F-150 and it looks like there is still a somewhat large potential range even within the specs that you provided depending on your axle ratio, drivetrain, and wheelbase. At the low end on your F-150 SuperCrew with the 3.5 V6 engine it shows a 5th wheel towing capacity of 6,500 pounds for the 4X4 model with a 145 inch wheelbase and the 3.55 axle ratio. At the high end your F-150 can have a 5th wheel towing capacity of up to...

    Hey there Steve; thanks for writing in and when it comes to body roll and sway for your 2018 Ford F-150, the better option is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit, with the right one depending on if your F-150 is 2WD or 4WD: - 2WD: RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-B - 4WD: RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-Y Honestly, I would go with these over the Timbrens # TFR1504E, and frankly not even both...

  • Best SumoSpring Option For 2019 Ford F-150 With 2,000 lb ATV In Bed
    Hello Ron, thanks for reaching out. A 1,500 lb Timbren or SumoSpring would not be enough to support a 2,000 lb ATV in the bed. You would be overloading the springs and would not get the results you want. A really good option for that are the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SS95QR. These are 3,000 lb capacity which is enough for your ATV. Plus they have a 2-piece design so they don't create a rough ride when you aren't loaded down. The Timbren # TFR1504E would also work for...

    For your 2018 Ford F-150 5-1/2 foot bed we have suspension enhancement that is a fit and works well with an in-bed fifth wheel hitch, but none of the air bag kits will work. Instead you'd want to go with the Timbren kit part # TFR1504E which fits your vehicle and can be used with an in-bed hitch rail kit.

  • Weight Distribution Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for 2024 F-150 Towing 10,250 lb Boat Trailer
    Hey Patrick! With a heavy boat trailer like that adding a weight distribution hitch (WDH) and some suspension enhancement will definitely be beneficial. However, instead of the TImbren SES # TFR1504E I recommend the SumoSprings # SS28UV. The SumoSprings will give you the support you need without the harsh impact on your unloaded ride quality. I'm sure you already realized you will need an adapter for the boat trailer tongue since you looked at the # EQ95-01-5950. This is designed for Equal-i-zer...

  • Suspension Enhancement For 2021 Ford F-150 Towing 5th Wheel
    Hi Richard; if unloaded ride quality is your concern I would steer clear of the Timbren SES. These tend to result in a pretty harsh ride when you aren't towing. The # TFRTT1504E is the severe service kit, designed for constant loads like salt spreaders or slide-in campers. If you really want to use the Timbren the # TFR1504E would be the correct kit. Do you know the pin weight of your trailer? If it is on the lower end the SumoSprings Solo # SS28UV would work with a capacity of 1,500...

  • Comparing Timbrens and Air Bags for a 2020 Ford F-150
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR1504E is a good option for a 2020 Ford F-150 but the suspension has to reach a threshold before they engage and they do compress when this is done so you will still sag a bit while they are installed. If total sag reduction is your goal it's rather hard to go with air bags which will replace the Timbrens. The air bags allows you to adjust the pressure so not only will they engage right away but they also give a smoother ride. I recommend...

  • Will The RoadActive Suspension(RAS) Work With Timbren Jounce Springs on a 2018 Ford F-150?
    I do recommend removing your Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E before you install either the 2,000LB # RAS3611-Y or 3,000LB # RAS3611-YHD RoadActive Suspension. The RAS mounts outside your u-bolts which is where the Timbren spring comes down to contact the axle. While there may be a small gap currently your rear end can float a bit side to side which may cause the jounce springs to contact the mounting arms which could damage both units. I personally feel the RAS is...

This system has a 6,000 lbs capacity and will help support your stock suspension system when towing. Since your Tremor has a lift from the factory you will need the Spacer Kit item # T68MR to get the desired 1/2" to 1-1/2" gap between the jounce spring and the axle pad.

  • Will Timbrens Work With Weight Distribution Hitch on 2019 Ford F-150
    Yes; when using a weight distribution hitch while towing with your 2019 Ford F-150, using the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E will help with stability. The weight distribution will help with leveling, but the Timbrens are going to offer added stability like you mentioned, so they'll help with body roll as you're towing. Timbrens and weight distribution is a pretty common pairing so you can definitely use the # TFR1504E.

  • Difference Between Timbren Suspension Enhancement for 2023 Ford F-150
    The # TFR1504E and # TFRTT1504E have different designs for different applications. More than likely you need the # TFR1504E for your 2023 Ford F-150. This kit will provide additional support and stability while towing and hauling. The # TFRTT1504E is a severe service kit designed to handle something like a slide-in camper or salt spreader that is always in your truck. This means it will be stiffer by comparison and result in a rough ride unless you have a heavy load in there at all times.

    Yes, you'll need to readjust the weight distribution system after installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR1504E on a 2021 Ford F-150. The reason for this is because the rear end sag will be reduced with the springs so adjustments to the system will need to be made to account for this.
