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.
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.
Easy installation. However, product has not been tested in a manner appropriate to provide rating.
Great product and great customer service
Works great. Truck rides as normal without load. Load it up and they engage and the truck rides level.
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.
Don't see $500 worth of parts. Not even close. 2 rubber bump spots and a bracket.
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.
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!
serve its purpose. just something extra to help with my towing
Installed on my 2018 Raptor. Easy install, works great, and no sag pulling my toy hauler.
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!
Fast Shipping
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.
Hitch fit great and the instructions were easy to follow.
Shipping was so efficient arrived days before estimated. Order was placed and within an hour was shipped!!!
I HAD THESE INSTALLED ON MY VAN OVER A YEAR AGO, I JUST CHECKED THEM OUT AND THEY ARE STILL IN GREAT CONDITION. THE FACTORY ONES I HAD PREVIOUSLY WERE COMPLETLY WORN DOWN. THE TIMBREN LOOK THE SAME AS WHEN THEY WERE INSTALLED.
Install was easy. Raised our Thor Gemini up as product said it would. Great job etrailer!
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.
They definitely reduced sway and lean when driving. But also seems like you really feel every bump and increase road noise?
I assume since vibration from axle can now travel directly to frame?
Might need to upgrade shocks?
Might soften liitle over time?
Might need to get softer onesv
Only have gone 80 miles with them so far.
Will give it another few hundred miles and see what feel then.
Overall pretty happy So far.
