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.

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.



by:

Install was easy. Raised our Thor Gemini up as product said it would. Great job etrailer!



by:

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.



by:

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.

2017 Thor Gemini TX

Strainer/basket is holding up well after one year of use in our RV, no issues.



by:

Works great on my 2016 town and country for hauling my pop up camper.



by:

Fast delivery. Disappointed with the instructions. Sense the item was ordered vehicle specific. The instructions said tighten bolts to manufactures specifications.



by:

Easy install & fast shipping! Works gre at!



by:

Works great on my Honda odessey !! Great customer service as always!



by:

Very fast shipping, had product in 2 days! Very easy to install. Hardest part was lifting the RV.



by:

The product first arrived in a damaged box with one of the washers missing, but ETrailer did resupply that. The hardest part was finding a shop able (needs the right tools to depress coil springs) and willing (a potential liability issue messing with suspension) to replace it for a reasonable cost. Eventually a local tire shop agreed to. This was for a 2014 Honda Odyssey, especially for pulling a pop-up. Took two camping trips last summer, one before and one after installation, and I have been pleased with the added stiffness in the rear suspension. It made about 1 to 1.5 inch of difference in resting position when fully loaded and towing and has helped smooth out bumps and humps in the road - both when towing and not.



by:

great product, truck does not squat as much when trailer is attached



by:

Have not driven yet, just installed. Added Monroe coil-overs as well, thanks etrailer.



by:

Delivery was fast, instal was quick & easy. Later today I will see how they work when I hook up to the 5th wheel. By all indications right now I believe they exceed my expectations.



by:

Price was good compared to other sites. Shipped very fast. Installation was very easy.



by:

Put them on and it is exactly what I need to keep truck level when hauling fifth wheel. Easy to install too



by:

I would recommend this product to anyone. I pull trailers with a 1/2 ton truck and will never have another one without this product on it.



by:

I put this product on my Trooper. The install was easy is you take the back wheels off. I towed this weekend and I did not bottom out. If they hold up over time, this is a great product.



by:

BIG difference in handling a load or trailer ... what a great product!!!



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:

15 mins to install and what a difference…. Went from a few inches of sag in the rear to only an inch and over 1000lbs tongue weight didn’t know the trailer was attached to the truck



by:

I had trouble installing these. Turns out they Don't match the factory stops. I trimmed off some rubber on the press fit end and they went all the way in with the truck weight help. I hope they stay in.



by:

Holding up good a year after purchase, work great for pulling my camper



by:

Excellent quality, good prices and great shipping ! Thanks



by:

This product was delivered quickly and efficiently. The quality of the product is excellent and look forward to seeing how they work when we are towing our trailer.

  • Best Timbren suspension upgrade for Ford F-450 cab and chassis with heavy truck camper
    Hi Bob, you have quite the setup there! For your 2004 F450 cab and chassis, the right Timbren option to help with rear sag and stability is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System is part # TFRSD, and yes this is a great match for what you’re dealing with. With a 4000 plus pound Arctic Fox on the back, the rear is doing most of the work, so adding the rear Timbrens first is exactly what I would recommend to level things out and take that side to side sway and “floating” feeling...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2000 Fleetwood Motorhome on Ford Chassis
    For your 2000 Fleetwood motorhome a little more information would help. A Ford F-550 chassis is a class C motorhome and a F-53 chassis is the class A motorhome. If you are just looking for shock absorption assistance that will help with body roll and stability, but sway control and steering are better addressed with other products. SInce you haven't hinted at that issue, I'll give you some recommendations for shock only. If you have the F-550 chassis motorhome, I recommend the Timbren...

  • Help Controlling Body Sway as a Motorhome Travels Down the Highway
    One of the biggest complaints the motorhome owner's have is controlling body sway. There are a couple of things that you can do that might help decrease the body sway the you are experiencing. First, installing an Anti-Sway Bars, like the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143 and the front sway bar # RM-1139-148.

  • Recommended Sway Control and Ride Suspension for 2004 Gulfstream Independence with Ford f-550 Frame
    For your 2004 Ford F-550 motorhome chassis, the Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-143 is the correct fit for your motorhome if it is up to 34 feet long. It if it longer, then you will instead use # 1139-144. The rear anti-sway is the most help out of all components. You will likely need longer u-bolts # RM-590050-00 or # RM-590050-10. Next, the Front Anti-Sway Bar # RM-1139-148 is the next best step followed by the Roadmaster Reflex Steering Stabilizer with Mounting Brackets for...

  • Difference Between the Two Recommended Timbren Systems for a 2003 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis
    The difference between the two part numbers is the capacity of the spring or the amount of support it can provide. Both the part # TFRSD and the # TFFSD4B (not the part # tfrtt350f) are confirmed to fit your 2003 Ford F-450 Cab and Chassis. The # TFRSD has a capacity of 12,000 lbs so it would be for heavier duty applications whereas the # TFFSD4B is for 6k loads. You want to go with the one closest to what you would need since going to heavy would cause a harsh ride and too light would...

  • Weight Distribution System for a 2002 Jayco Jayhawk
    To stabilize your car trailer behind your Jayco Jayhawk I recommend the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control item # BLU36FR. This weight distribution system has built-in sway control that limits side-to-side movement of your trailer. It has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs and a maximum capacity of 6,000 lbs. This will do a far better job of addressing stability when pulling a trailer than the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System item # TFRSD you were looking...
