Features to know about

Stay Level Under Heavy Loads: 6,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

When you’re towing or hauling, sag in the rear end can throw off steering and braking. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System adds up to 6,000 lbs of extra support above the axle to keep your vehicle level and stable under load. Each hollow rubber spring stiffens progressively as weight increases, so the truck stays steady whether you’re hauling gear in the bed or pulling a trailer down the highway.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Hollow Rubber Springs That Absorb Shock

Bumpy roads and uneven pavement don’t have to beat up your suspension. These Aeon hollow rubber springs act like extra shock absorbers, taking the hit from potholes and rough surfaces before it reaches the frame. They cushion light loads while allowing normal leaf spring movement, keeping the ride comfortable when empty and steady when loaded.

Reduce Sway and Body Roll: Independent Spring Action for Stability

When curves or crosswinds push your setup around, each Timbren spring works independently to support its side of the vehicle. That independent action helps cut down on sway and body roll when turning corners or hauling off-center loads. With better roll stability, your vehicle feels planted and trailers track straighter behind you.

Install It Once and Drive Easy: Simple Bolt-On Design

No air lines, compressors, or gauges—just a straightforward install that replaces your factory bump stops. The custom brackets bolt directly to the frame above the axle with no drilling required. Once installed, there’s no air pressure to monitor or parts to adjust—just reliable support that works automatically every time you load up.

Excursion factory springs seem underrated. Timbren’s recommended spacing still allows to much rear end squat. I added more spacers for No gap. Actually helped with body roll when unloaded. This spacing was discussed with Timbren representative beforehand. Timbren has lifetime warranty



by:

Works great. Still looks like new after a year and we use it hard.



by:

Eliminated rear end sag when towing and also stabilized the rear improving drivability. Highly recommend.

Yes, buy it!!!!!



by:

Easy to place on vehicle, haven't put tailer on yet, but clearance is 1/2 to 3/4 inch, should be perfect.



by:

Kit does a great job making up for the underbuilt suspension on my excursion. Installation was straight forward although a bit awkward from under the truck in the driveway. The price is way high for some rubber and bolts, but that's apparently from the manufacturer as opposed to etrailer. Good product, just a shame to pay so much to make up for ford's known shortcoming.



by:

The Timbren rear suspension enhancement system works great. It leveled my 2000 Ford Excursion Limited with my 31ft. 6000lb camper before using the weight distribution hitch. Before my excursion sagged in the rear. The crew at etrailer were Awesome! Great customer service and they upgraded my shipping for me for free. Only took me 30 minutes to install. Thanks etrailer!

Installed on 2000 Ford Excursion to keep rearend from sagging when towing 24' Thompson 240 Fisherman Hardtop Boat. Worked like a charm once I got the stock bumpers off. Had to get the [$] [discount store] 4" Grinder out to remove stock bumpers. Works great, so far - just like described. Bumpers remain hanging in air with no contact until a heavy load is applied inside Excursion or on trailer hitch. Excursion remains essentially level with Thompson Boat/Trailer hitched-up.



by:

Might ba a 5 star after I test it with a loaded trailer. Easy install on my excursion.



by:

To be honest, I decided not to install them. I still have it in a box because of I’d have to let the air out every time I put it on the rack change a tire change the oil do any kind of maintenance and then pump it back up again I didn’t know that with my old set and that’s what fell apart, so I still got them in the box. Haven’t used them at all.



by:

Product installed very easily, spacing seems a bit much from the bottom of the product to the axle, but that could just be me. Nothing against you guys, but the package was delivered VERY damaged, some of the contents were showing outside the box.

There should be a sizeable gap between the Timbren springs and the vehicle axle. The Timbren kit should only engage the axle when the vehicle is bearing a hefty load. This is to prevent un-loaded ride quality from being altered, but provide extra support when a heavy load is in the mix.



by:

This was a great solution for me! I have a bumper-pull RV trailer that is 10k pounds and 1k tongue weight. My old Excursion squatted that weight terribly even with a weight distro hitch. The factory bump stops were totally gone years age. These bump stops almost totally removes the squat I got from the RV trailer. Thinking about doing the front ones as well.



by:

Game changer! 03 4x4 Excursion. When installing, I had to jack up the chasis to get the Timbrens in there. That makes me think my leaf springs have seen better days but idk. After installing, we took our 20’ equipment trailer and two snowmobiles to the Upper Peninsula. These Timbrens made a huge difference in the way the truck handles. I used to slow down for the sweeping turns going through cities on 127 but now the truck tracks confidently and that is no longer necessary while towing. These are always engaged when not towing due to the Excursions soft rear springs. My only regret is not getting them a while back when we towed our 30’ camper with a weight dist. hitch. That would have been a great combo.



by:

This did a great job. It significantly reduced sway when I pull my trailer and improved the ride significantly.

  • Height of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TFREXC4 for 2002 Ford Excursion V10
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TFREXC4 for your 2002 Ford Excursion that you referenced has an overall height of 5 inches according to my technical contact at Timbren. I pulled a set of these from the warehouse and measured them as you will see in the picture, the actual spring measures 5 inches and the bracket measures 1-9/16 inch to give you a total of 6-9/16 inches. The difference between a Timbren suspension system and an air bag system, is that the air setup allows for...

  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSpring Rear Helper Springs for a 2000 Ford Excursion
    If it were me I would install the Timbren springs # TFREXC4 on the 2000 Ford Excursion 4x4 instead of the SumoSprings # SSR-109-40. First is the cost benefit; the Timbren springs cost less. There is also the capacity difference. The Timbren springs are rated up to 6,000 pounds whereas the SumoSprings are rated up to 1,000 pounds. While neither increases the actual towing capacity of the vehicle the fact that the Timbren springs are rated so much higher is an indication of the quality...

  • 2005 Ford Excursion Squats when Using Husky Weight Distribution with 9,000 Pound Trailer
    Let's first look at the numbers. A trailer weighing 9,000 pounds will have a tongue weight in the neighborhood of 900 to 1,350 pounds. But when you calculate tongue weight for weight distribution you also have to factory in the weight of any cargo loaded behind the rear axle of your 2005 Ford Excursion. So for example if your trailer's tongue weight is 1,100 pounds and you have 200 pounds of cargo behind the rear axle of the Excursion the total tongue weight would be 1,300 pounds and you...

  • How Tall is The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFREXC4 For a 2000 Ford Excursion?
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFREXC4 is 5-1/16" tall. It sounds like they used lift blocks placed underneath the jounce spring pad and your current springs are sagging. If you were to install these with your current air gap of only 7/16" it would create a very harsh ride experience. So if you choose to go with these you will want to replace your current leaf springs to get the air gap closer to the recommended 1" from Timbren so it will not give you as harsh of a ride....

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement for the Front and Rear of a 2001 Ford Excursion 4x4 7.3L Diesel
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, item # TFREXC4, is only the rear kit for your 2001 Excursion 4x4. For the front suspension you will need the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System, item # TFF350SD4. These front suspension helpers will definitely help with the large 7.3L motor in your Excursion. Both of these kits will require the removal of the original bump stop but will not require shock or spring removal and do not require any modifications to the original chassis....

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement For 2001 Ford Excursion
    The Timbren Suspension Enhancement, part # TFF350SD4, is intended to assist the front suspension you have on your 2001 Ford Excursion. This kit is for 4-wheel vehicles. Suspension enhancement is intended to be used on vehicles with suspension that is in good working condition. It is not intended to be used as a replacement for your suspension. I pulled one of these from our warehouse and took a couple of measurements. The spring measures 3-3/4 inches and the plate it is attached to measures...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for a 9,000 Pound Trailer and 2000 Ford Excursion
    Pro Series Weight Distribution System w/ Friction Sway Control - Round - 10,000 lbs GTW, 750 lbs TW # PS49582 is very much under rated for the tongue weight of your trailer. Considering that your measured tongue weight is 1,044 without water and other things even the 1,200 pound system # 49570 might not be enough once loaded and ready to tow. I recommend going to a 1,500 pound system such as Curt Weight Distribution System # C17333. The only other part needed is a ball. The ball you have...

  • Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Springs for 2004 Ford Excursion With F350 Leaf Springs
    Because the stock ride height has changed, the # TFREXC4 Timbrens for the Excursion would be ineffective for the very reason you mentioned. They'd be too short, and the suspension would compress a great deal before the Timbrens would make contact with the axle beam. However, we can still find a Timbren solution for you. With the wheels on the ground, measure the height distance between the top of the axle and the frame member where the factory bump stop mounts (see diagram). If you can...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Sway on 11,700 lb Trailer with 900 lb Tongue Weight
    If you are getting persistent sway from your towing setup the issue is more than likely not enough tongue weight in the trailer relative to the total trailer weight. Not having the tongue weight of the trailer between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight is the number one cause of trailer sway. Since you said your trailer weighs 11,700 lbs and your tongue weight is roughly 900 lbs that would be the issue right there. If you can move more weight in the trailer forward you will...
