8,600-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:
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.
This is the third time I've order from them. Has good customer service. Products always arrived in good shape and faster than expected.excellent place to do business.
Great products and great service! Fast shipping is a major plus!
Great cost effective way to keep truck level. Easy install! A 15 minute job. Does not affect empty ride quality. Extremely happy with the product and etrailer.com
Rubbers installed as your instructions said. 15 min. install time. Have not loaded truck yet. Will keep you informed.
verry
Installed very easily. Helped keep the tacoma level with the trailer attached. Stopped the swaying.
Well didn’t think it was gonna be here on time, when I saw usps thought o no gonna be 3 extra days, but low n behold arrived 3 days early, big shout out to e trailer, I’m not home at this time to ck it out but a least it was delivered, may leave update after install
Appears to be as described. Helpful video on the website showed installation process
Good product. More than doubled the payload capacity. Installation was simple quick and easy.
Im amazed the first time in a long time a product I ordered worked exactly like it said it would, all parts there, easy to install. What a great buy.
Haven't installed yet. Service and shipping from retailer was very quick!
Received the product promptly. Exactly what I needed .... decided on this instead of air bags since I only tow a boat.
Product as advertised. Installation quite easy, would be 30 minutes if up on hoist.
Great product but it didn’t have all the required hardware for installation.
Everything arrived intact, no damage. Instructions were clear. Products were put on with ease. Thanks
Product fits as described. Will try out when I tow my travel trailer in a few weeks.
Great product! Fast shipping and bolted right on!
As advertised the product was easy to put in on my 2019 ram crewcab tradesman 4x4 pickup. Can't wait to try them out when i use my 20' travel trailer.
Pretty easy installtion and much needed in the 'Burb when towing our travel trailer and kids. All said and done in about 30 minutes with two people.
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.
Have used these before on a previous vehicle. E Trailer has the best price and the install videos are also helpful
Helps a lot with trailer loads. Would buy again.
Easy installation except the passenger side is a little harder.
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.
I opened the box and took a quick look at them and they look good.
Timely shipping! Project is completed, Thanks.
