Features to know about

Keep the Truck Level When It Matters Most: 12,000-lb Load-Leveling Support

Heavy trailers, campers, or bed loads can make the rear sag and throw off steering and braking. The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System adds up to 12,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep your truck level and confident under weight. The hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle, adding support only when needed so your suspension stays smooth on light loads but firm and steady when hauling heavy.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Rubber Springs That Absorb Shock

Bumps, potholes, and washboard roads can beat up your suspension and cargo. These Aeon hollow rubber springs act like built-in shock absorbers, taking the brunt of the impact before it reaches you or your gear. The progressive design compresses easily at first for comfort, then stiffens as the load increases to keep your ride stable and controlled over rough terrain.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When a curve or a passing semi tries to push your ride around, these springs work independently on each side to cut down body roll and sway. Whether you’re taking on mountain roads or hauling an off-center load, each spring supports its side as needed to keep you level and in control.

Timbren suspension system preventing vehicle sag, roll, and sway during cornering and heavy load conditions.

Simple Bolt-On Setup: No Drilling or Air Lines to Run

Adding serious suspension help doesn’t have to be complicated. The kit includes custom-fit brackets and hardware that bolt directly to the frame above the axle—no drilling required. With no air hoses, compressors, or gauges to install, you can get it set up quickly with basic tools and hit the road with reliable, maintenance-free support.

12,000-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.

by:

Easy install took about 20 minutes on my 2017 Ram 3500 SRW. Had about 1/2 inch clearance as recommended. Loaded up my 5th wheel (2350 hitch weight) and about 200 lbs of gear in the bed. Just got back from a 800 mile camping trip through mountains of TN. You can really feel the difference around those sharp corners and uneven surfaces. The truck felt firm and controlled not hard and jarring as some have mentioned. Going over those overpasses with the wonderfully smooth (Not) joists was greatly improved. The truck would squat and rebound again, with a firm controlled response. Driving without a load felt the same as before without them. I would highly recommend these! Ordering from etrailer continues to be my go to option!

We purchase the Timbren Suspenstion Ehahancement System for our 2021 Ford 550 plumbing truck. The F 550 plumbing truck has a full height 6'x 12' custom made enclosed steel service body. At the time of the purchase our salesman explain that Ford makes 2 versions of a F550 cab and chassis. one F550 light duty 17,500- heavy duty 19,500. We purchased the F550 light duty thinking we did not need that much carry capacity and lowering the overall purchase price.
Once the truck body was custom made and we drove it around for a few months we notice that the light duty suspension was a little soft due to the max weight we sometimes are hauling.
This is when we look into purchasing the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System. Once we installed this system we right away notice a big difference in the stability and handling of the F550 truck and are very impressed due to the cost and simplicity to install the product. Now after 1 year with the Timren Suspension we are very extremely happy that it is performing as well as the day they were installed. We have had no issues and would purchase this product again without any hesitation.

Thank you for a very well made suspension product that meet are need.

These work great on my F450 with towing my 21k lb 5th wheel. Also help the ride when unloaded. A cheaper alternative to airbags, and it took me about a hour and a half to install both sides. Very happy with this product

I like the Timbrens more. I am in the middle of a cross country adventure 4500 miles so far and the Timbrens are preforming great. And I am not a interstate rider, we take the rig back country, up and down 8 grades, twisty roads and bumby roads. Could not be happier.



by:

Increased the ride height 1/2”-3/4” with the spacer. Really stiffened up the front by eliminating the sway.



by:

No what I was expecting I have to remove I installed factory back



by:

These are amazing! Simple to install, easy to read instructions, very straightforward. Hardest part was taking off the factory bump stops, but I was lying on my back using hand tools.

I put these on my F550 wrecker and they alleviated the squat I was experiencing when towing trucks.

In the photo you can compare the factory bump stop with the Timbren.

In my truck I did not use the extra spacer that is included in the kit. If I had jacked my truck up higher I could have used it. As it is right now the Timbren's are always in contact with my axle. In my opinion my unloaded ride is better as well.

I HIGHLY recommend these for tow trucks.



by:

Installed on 2025 Ford F550. Installation was easy took about 2 hours to do front and rear bump stops. Used the supplied spacer ended up raising rear about a 1/2 inch which was the same as front. Purchased these due to truck sitting 1 1/2 inches lower on passenger side when Host Mammoth was loaded ( scaled at 18,600 lbs. with all tanks full). Didn’t have any excessive sway or bounce just not sitting as level as I would like. Did notice truck hitting bump stops a few times on both ends hoping theses smooth out the occasional bottoming out. Will update after I’ve loaded camper and made a few trips.

Accolade XT 35L - Timbren SES (TFRSDE - 12k support) loaded in the sweet spot.

These Timbrens should be used on F600 and F550 models. Do NOT use the spacers that come in the box. Just install the Timbrens without the spacers and you are good to go. When FULLY loaded (full gas/water and gear), the Timbrens should compress about 1/2”, which seems to be the sweet spot. The end results are as follows:
1. Better bump absorption and much better rebound. The inside chatter is more of a low sounding rumble and the suspension rebound is really quick.
2. Much better sway control and overall stability.
3. The drive feels more balanced front to rear. The rear drop was reduced by 1”. I think that allows the leaf springs and shocks to work in a more neutral position.

These are worth every penny and are a cheap “set it and forget it”way to improve your ride quality!

See what our Experts say about this Timbren Vehicle Suspension

  • Looking for Timbrens for 2023 Entegra Accolade XT 35L
    Hey David, since you want a better ride quality the better Timbren option is the part # TFRSDE which is a fit for your 2023 Entegra Accolade XT 35L as it's a better blend of support and ride quality than the Severe Service options. RV looks great though! They sure do make them a lot cooler looking than back in the day.

  • Will Timbrens for 2023 Entegra Accolade XT 35L be Engaged at all Times
    Hey David, the Timbren kits like the # TFRSDE that you ordered are designed to have a small gap without a load on the tow vehicle like what you had on your F-350 when it was unloaded and then once loaded they will be engaged or at least touch the axle. So since your Super C is loaded they would be at the very least touching. The exact amount of compression though is hard to say. How does your Entegra handle currently? By the way your camper Jeep and SXS look sick!!

  • Suspension Enhancement for Thor Four Winds SD35 on 2016 F-550 Chassis
    Hey Gary! The answer to your first question is both. I would use the higher rated Timbren SES # TFRSDE in the rear and then the SumoSprings # SSF-111-60 in the front. With all of the weight in your motorhome the Timbren will do a better job supporting the rear, absorbing road shock, and cutting down on sway. The SumoSprings are still rated pretty high at 4,000 lbs, and they will give you a better ride quality up front compared to the Timbren. Where are you headed once you get these...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement for 2026 Ford F-550 Dump Truck
    Hey Roy, that is quite the truck! Since it is a dump truck you will want the higher capacity from the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDE. This gives you up to 12,000 lbs of additional support to handle those heavy loads and reduce that rear sag you have now so you stay level. Air bags are nice for a standard pickup, but the Timbren SES is the better option here. They will engage right away, and you also don't have to worry about maintenance or adjusting the air pressure.

  • Front Suspension Enhancement for Thor Magnitude RS36RV on 2022 Ford F-600 Chassis
    Hey Don, welcome back! With all of the weight in the front of the F-600 I would choose the higher capacity Timbren SES # TFF550SDE. SumoSprings are great when you're throwing them on the back of a vehicle and worried about unloaded ride quality. The Timbren SES excels with heavier applications like yours. These will help absorb that road shock and cut down the vibration. As you mentioned, you will also get sway reduction since they act independently and will push back as the vehicle moves...

These have a 12,000 lbs capacity that will provide more load support and stability when you are driving your motorhome. They act as a shock absorber by taking the brunt of bumps and rough roads. There will be no issues using Timbrens in the rear of your motor home and SumoSprings for the front end. For your Thor Omni's front end you will want...

  • 2022 Thor Omni RS36 Motorhome Jounce-Style Suspension Enhancement Recommendation
    We do have a specific product like the SumoSprings that fits your 2022 Thor Omni RS36 on the Ford F-600 chassis; the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for Front # TFF550SDE and Rear # TFRSDE. This installs similarly to the SumoSprings and is simply a different brand - it doesn't look like SuperSprings has a fit for this chassis as of yet (April 2022). This kit replaces your factory bump stops so you'll get better support for your motorhome.

  • Installation of Timbren Springs On A 2016 F-450 With DANA S130 Square Tube Axle
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDE is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Ford F-450. The only thing the instructions state is to make sure that the Aeon Spring does not come in contact with the brake line. The springs are designed for and confirmed to fit your vehicle with the brake lines routed in this area with your Dana axle. None of the installations have required moving brake lines but the brake lines do come close. I reached out to my contact at Timbren and they...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement System for 2017 Ford F-450 with 5th Wheel Hitch
    For your 2017 Ford F-450, the Air Lift options as you pointed out are not compatible with a 5th wheel or gooseneck hitch. The manufacturer states that none of their current options for your vehicle will work with the 5th wheel hitch installed although they can work with other vehicle models. My recommendation is to instead go with the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle # TFRSDE. These aeon rubber springs absorb shock and increase in support as the load increases to give...

  • Suspension Enhancement for 2020 Entegra Odyssey 26D
    We have a Timbren solution for the front and rear suspension of your 2020 Entegra Odyssey 26D but we do not have a SumoSpring kit that fits at this time. The Timbrens are a very similar design and would work well to improve suspension support and stability. So for that you'd want the part # TFRSDE for the rear and # TFF550SDH for the front.
