Timbren Vehicle Suspension - TFRSDJ

Highlights

  • Custom Fit for Your Vehicle: Mounts to existing attachment points
  • 12,000-lb Load Support: Keeps your truck level to stop sag and improve control when towing or hauling.
  • Better Steering and Braking: Prevents rear squat so traction stays even and handling feels stable.
  • Smoother, Safer Ride: Hollow rubber springs absorb bumps and road shock for more comfort under load.
  • Handles Off-Center Loads: Each spring works independently to balance uneven cargo and reduce body roll.
  • No-Drill Install: Bolts directly to the frame with custom brackets for quick, simple setup.

Features to know about

Stay Level and Confident Under Load: 12,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

Heavy loads and trailers can make the rear of your vehicle sag and the front rise, throwing off traction and steering. The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System – Rear Axle adds up to 12,000 lbs of load-leveling capacity to keep your ride level and stable. Its hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to share the weight with your factory suspension, helping maintain proper stance and control when towing or hauling.

Handle Rough Roads with Less Shock and Bounce: Rubber Springs That Absorb Impact

Bumpy pavement or uneven job sites can beat up your suspension. These hollow rubber springs act as shock absorbers, cushioning your truck from impacts that would otherwise transfer through the chassis. The progressive spring design collapses smoothly under light loads for comfort, then stiffens up as weight increases for stability. You get a smoother ride loaded or empty while extending the life of your stock suspension.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When corners or crosswinds push one side of your vehicle down, each Timbren spring reacts independently to keep things level. That means less body roll when you swerve or turn sharply and better control when hauling off-center loads. Because each side engages only when needed, you stay balanced without extra stiffness during normal driving.

Simplify Your Setup: No Air Lines or Adjustments Needed

There’s no need for compressors, hoses, or air pressure checks here. The Timbren system bolts directly onto the frame with custom-fit brackets and hardware—no drilling required. Once installed, it automatically provides extra support as load increases, so you can haul heavy gear or tow without having to make manual adjustments before every trip.

Installed in 15 minutes! Significant improvement in ride with my 6000lb (loaded) lance camper on a F450.

Fast shipping, personalized service, pe rfect.

Timbren bushings are great because they are simple to install, have no ancillary systems to rely on like compressors, and self adjust with changing loads. I have used them for years on multiple trucks and only had one bushing break. Timbren replaced it for free under their lifetime warranty! This is a great product.

Super easy to install. Does exactly what it was intended to do. Great product.



by:

Arrived quickly ans was truly easy to i nstall



by:

that's for great product. As always service is great.

After attempting to install airbags that ultimately had to be returned bc of a Fitment issue, I switched to the Timbrens. Although they make no difference unloaded, they helped settle the rear axle down when towing our 5th wheel. Satisfied with the product, easy to install. The folks at etrailer were helpful with the exchange.

$[XX] for two brackets hollow rubber bump stops, and some hardware? SMH!

It’s been two weeks since I installed the 12,000 pound Timbren bump stops on my 2024 f450 pickup truck and my springs have almost completely flattened out. I absolutely do not think this product will support the 12,000 pound load capacity that etrailer or Timbren claims they will nor does it eliminate enough of the squat. I will be returning this product ASAP and ordering Airbags.



by:

They are excellent. However, the real excellent part is that the original pair ordered was stolen. Yes, you heard correct and I’ll say it loudly, they were stolen in transit and ups literally delivered an empty box. A box that clearly states 10lbs they actually had the gall to place at my door completely empty. But etrailer stepped up and made it right. That’s the true excellent part etrailer’s service. They are fantastic.

Game Changer!!

These bumps stops are like running a marathon barefoot on concrete, by the end of the workday I am very fatigued and tired from feeling every bump that I hit.

what is the torque on these bolts?

For me this last transaction was not very etrailer like. The Timbrens are good.

Before I ordered the Timbren SES on the eTrailer web site I had a few questions so I called eTrailer. A woman answered and really wasn't very knowledgeable about the product but didn't offer to pass me along to someone who was. She instead referred me to Timbren. I was a bit put off and thought why should I buy from etrailer then. I told her "well I'll just buy straight from Timbren then". She was a bit snarky and said they may not sell to the public (which they do, something else she wasn't aware of). I checked the Timbren site. Their price was a tad higher and the delivery would be later so I went back to the eTrailer site and just purchased the Timbrens.

At the time of ordering, the delivery was estimated to be Nov 8. Since I was leaving on a trip on the 11th, this would give me time to get them, install them and test them.

The package didn't arrive until late on the 10th - two days late. The Timbren box was in rough shape. It looked like it had been previously opened and then overly taped back up.

I opened the box and did a quick inventory. Just my luck, it was missing the bolts and shims. I called etrailer to inform them but they couldn't do anything for me quickly. As I was up against a timeline, I went to a local hardware store and bought the needed hardware for just under $5 but what an inconvenience. It should be noted the other components in the box were in good shape. The installation thereafter was a breeze even in the dark.

Since I was leaving on my trip in a few hours I could only hope the Timbrens would work as well on this truck as they did on my 2015 since I didn't get a chance to test them.

While they did credit my card for $5, I received absolutely nothing from Timbren after emailing them with the above information.

The Timbrens are a good product but etrailer fell flat this time.

After a year the Timbren suspension product has been performing well - very satisfied. What I was not satified with was eTrailers response to my complaint of their service before and after my purchase. I still havent bought from them since.



by:

Great product, it works perfect on my truck. Sometimes I tow up to 30k lbs including my trailer and my truck stays level. No more high beam flashing in my eyes from drivers going in the opposite direction on the road.



by:

First off I haven’t actually used them yet with the trailer but first impressions are good of course E-Trailer‘s customer service expedited. Shipping was excellent ease of installation of this product. Super easy. I’ll give another review after I do a couple hundred miles with the trailer.



by:

This is my second set of Timbrens. I have tested my truck pulling a fifth wheel with them and without them. I most definitely prefer to have the Timbrens on my truck. The ride is smooth and steady with zero maintenance. If I ever have a third truck I will most certainly purchase them again.



by:

I installed the Timbren suspension and fit perfectly. Very easy to install, no special tools required. I have a 2023 F-450 and hall a 45’ fifth wheel. I was getting about a 2” of squat with the factory suspension system. This should help me tremendously.



by:

Put these on a 2026 f450, the pickup has ~2000lb load in the bed at all times. It dropped 3” with the stock suspension. Was hoping these would bring some of that sag back up but only gained 1/2” and a rough ride. Will be removing and would not recommend.

  • Which Timbren SES Is Best for 2018 Ford F-450 Towing 15,495 lb Camper
    Hey Darrell, great question! The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ is what you want for your setup. This is designed for your typical towing and hauling. The # TFRTT350J is the severe service kit. The springs may have a lighter capacity, which would make sense with our tongue weight, but they have a different design so they aren't the best fit for towing. These are designed to be under constant load with something like an in-bed camper or salt spreader. What kind of camper...

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement system Affect the Ride Quality when Unloaded?
    Really good question Scott, thanks for reaching out! For an unloaded ride, most have little to no difference during normal driving. The Timbren springs are designed to sit just above the axle, allowing the factory suspension to work normally until a load is applied. Once the truck squats under tongue weight or cargo, the Timbrens engage and provide additional support. Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ is a great option for reducing rear end sag and improving stability when...

  • Will Standard Timbren SES With Higher Capacity Offer More Support Than Severe Service On 2021 F-450
    Hey Dustin, welcome back! The Timbren SES # TFRSDJ will offer you more support over the severe service kit # TFRTT350J. Are you experiencing squat with your current Timbrens? If you are then it would be worth upgrading. If you really aren't, then it isn't worth the money. The severe service kit has a different design and engages sooner to help with constant, top-heavy loads like a slide-in camper. With that heavy car hauler you will gain more from the higher capacity of the standard Timbren...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Option For 2023 Ford F450 Super Duty Cab And Chassis
    Hello Dustin, thanks for reaching out. I am sorry to say the Air Lift # AL26RF will not fit the 2023 Ford F450 cab and chassis. Sadly, there is no air bag kit confirmed to fit the cab and chassis model. The only suspension enhancement option we have for the cab and chassis model is the Timbren # TFRSDJ. These are 12,000 lb rated rubber jounce springs. They will help to level and stabilize the rear of your truck so they will help with handling and reduce sway. Take a look at the install...

  • 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty Timbren Suspension Enhancement Kit Recommendation
    I recommend going with the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ for your 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty because it's designed better for pickup truck-type applications. The other Timbren kit # TFRTT350J is designed more for Severe Service vehicles like that will have more constant heavy loads in them (like a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or crane) so if your F-450 is only going to be used like a pickup then the first kit is what you want to use. We've actually had the opportunity...

  • Is Timbren Suspension Enhancement for 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty 4WD Compatible With 5th Wheel Hitch
    That's a good question, and I can confirm for you that the Timbrens which fit your 2021 Ford F-450 Super Duty 4WD, the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ are 100 percent compatible with a 5th wheel hitch. They install between the frame and your axle, so they will not interfere with 5th wheel (or gooseneck) brackets. The Timbrens are a really good choice for your F-450 because when you have additional weight at the rear of your truck - like when you are towing - the added weight...

  • Non-Airbag Suspension Upgrade Option for a 2019 Ford F-450
    If you are asking for a suspension upgrade kit that has adjustable bags that do not use air, I am not aware of any that exist. If you are just asking for a suspension upgrade kit that does not use air, then we have the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ. This system installs directly onto the frame of your F-450 and works independently for side-to-side load leveling. It becomes more rigid as more weight is added and acts as a shock absorber.

  • Do the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500XL Air Springs # AL57596 Fit a 2015 Ford F-450?
    There are a lot of great options for air springs for your 2015 For F-450, but the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL # AL57596 you were looking at will not fit your vehicle. If you are looking for a Air Lift brand kit, you can use the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88349, but these have a weight capacity of only 5,000 lbs. If you need the extra weight capacity, you can use the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ, which have a 12,000 lb weight capacity. Check...
