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.

Absolutely excellent service delivery was on time and product is exactly what I needed. I shop in trailer because the description that you read is what you get when you receive your product.



by:

Very fast shipping! Great product! Thank you much!!



by:

Have used these before on a previous vehicle. E Trailer has the best price and the install videos are also helpful



by:

Did my due diligence researching this product, including other customer reviews.
Can't wait to install them, but the Winnebago has been put to sleep for the season. I'll submit a performance report in the spring.



by:

Helps a lot with trailer loads. Would buy again.



by:

Easy installation except the passenger side is a little harder.



by:

Great product, easy to put on. It took less than 45 minutes to put the new Timber butt stops on. Only thing I would request is to tape up the box they cam in, because by the time it travels to your location it’s beat to hell and back. Like the last time I ordered the ones for the front, all the parts were missing. Luckily this time all items were still in the box.



by:

Timely shipping! Project is completed, Thanks.



by:

With an impact gun, was easy to install replacing the stock bumpers. Worked great with an 18' trailer and tractor on my truck. Much less sag and stiffer ride.



by:

I opened the box and took a quick look at them and they look good.



by:

Product arrived on time and the instructions online were excellent. Installed both sides in 2 hours. Product didn't make a huge immediate difference but did stiffen heavy loading up. Coupled with new shocks - great product.



by:

Great communication and great delivery time. Just finished placing them on my truck. Easy 45min work. Thanks etrailer.



by:

Just received these this morning very easy to install just had to jack rear of truck and take out and replace one bolt. Very easy!



by:

Easy to install. Took 20 minutes. Quality is great. We'll see how they hold up with the trailer hooked up.



by:

Haven't tried them out yet with the trailer, but install was fast and simple. Looks great and has not changed the ride unloaded, as some reviews had suggested. Will know more after hauling horse.



by:

Fast and reliable shipping.



by:

Amazing solution that leveled out my truck when towing my tailor. Super easy to install and nothing to adjust.



by:

Easy to install helps with heavy trailer stability as I had hoped. Takes stress off the factory shocks and coils.



by:

Easy install & fast shipping! Works gre at!



by:

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.



by:

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!



by:

Delivered in 3 days, installed with just a few hand tools total time took about 20 minutes. Tested immediately with 2 tons of mulch in the bed of my truck. Best I have seen for he money. Awesome!!! Great product.



by:

Installed in an hour on saturday morning before breakfast. Loaded my Can-Am Outlander Max 800CC ATV in the back and truck stayed level. Handled so much better, I strongly recommend this product as an effective solution that is also inexpensive.



by:

Works great. Truck rides as normal without load. Load it up and they engage and the truck rides level.



by:

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.

  • Recommended Timbren Suspension Enhancement for Ford F-350
    Timbren Suspension Enhancement will definitely help with the rear end sag and help you to have a more stable ride. To get the correct fit for your truck, I need to know the model year. For instance if your Ford F-350 is between 2005 and 2016 then I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR350SDF. However, if your truck is a 2017 or 2018, then I recommend # TFR350SDJ. These products work on single rear wheel trucks as well as dually models.

  • What is the Difference Between a Rear Air Bag System and a Weight Distribution System
    Basically, a weight distribution system moves some of the load up the vehicle frame so that the front suspensions bears some of the weight. Weight distribution spreads some of the weight from the rear axle to the front. An air bag system spreads the weight across the rear axle. Instead of having 2 springs bearing the load, you now have 4. When towing large trailers, air bags should not be used instead of a weight distribution system. A hitch and vehicle will have a Weight Carrying Capacity...

  • Comparison of Jounce-Style or Air Bag Suspension Enhancement
    Jounce-style helper springs are easier to install than air bags since they're less parts involved. Also, once they are installed you basically leave them alone. Air bags need to have the air pressure monitored and changed according to the load that's being carrier. The jounce-style will not impact the ride quality unless there is load present. The benefit of the air bags is that you can adjust them to your liking when you need to. If the weight in your truck varies on a regular basis...

  • Which Timbren Kit HD or Lighter Duty for 2016 Ford F-350 That Hauls Campers Frequently
    The difference in harshness between the Timbren kits part # TFR350SDF and # TFRTT350F would be very noticeable. Especially when unloaded. Your truck is already going to have a rough ride as that is the nature of 1 ton trucks but the 12k Timbren kit will make for a very harsh ride when unloaded. I really wouldn't recommend that unless the truck is going to be loaded to near it's max capacity most of the time it will be on the road. For what you are looking to do I would go with the lower...

  • Is the Timbren Suspension System or TorkLift the Better Option for a 2015 Ford F-350
    I recommend going with the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR350SDF. Even though the TorkLift StableLoad Suspension Upgrade for Upper Overload Springs # TLA7200 that you referenced are a good option, the Timbren system does a better job at stabilizing the weight. The TorkLift option will activate your leaf springs much sooner when they are under a heavy load, but the Timbren option provides additional support for your lift springs and takes on the brunt of bumps and rough...

    For your 2011 For F-250 Super Duty if you are adding the Timbrens I would stay with your factory 2" block. If you install Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Item # TFR350SDF you can add 1 or 2 of the Timbren 1" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles - 3/8" Bushing Item # A25723-90AH00 but it will require a longer bolt than what comes in the kit.

  • Is There Difference in Height Between Timbren Kits that Fit 2012 Ford F-350
    Hey Matt, actually the # TFR250SDF and the # TFR350SDF both are the same height and designed to have 1/2 inch to 1 inch of clearance between the frame and the spring. If it's engaged at all times it will give a lot of support but it will be pretty harsh in ride quality. You can use spacers to make it engage sooner though but I would first install it without and then determine how much space is left to fil in.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement System for a 2012 Ford F-350 4x4 with Max Tow Weight of 15,500 LB
    I recommend going with the Timbren rear suspension system # TFR350SDF because it will keep your 2012 Ford F-350 4x4 more level and improve driving performance. The Timbren springs won't compress as much and have a higher weight rating. I think you will be very pleased with the Timbren system because they are designed to work with heavy loads. The weight capacity is 8,600 pounds and will be more than enough for your setup. The reason I wouldn't choose the SumoSprings is because they have...
