15,000-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.

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.

Hello neighbors, Steven here with etrailer.com. Today we're looking at these Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System and it's gonna be a custom fit application. So as always, we recommend you go to our homepage etrailer.com, enter your vehicle information at the top center of the page. We're to ask you information like year, make and model, cab size, bed length, anything like that. Make sure you're getting the right parts for your specific vehicle the first time. Now that being said, these guys here are gonna improve your suspension handling and safety, and they're gonna give you a nice comfortable ride.
They're gonna provide the additional support you needed and it's gonna allow your leaf spring ample movement while yet cushioning your light loads. Now this does become more rigid as more weight is applied, and I'll go ahead and throw a graphic up here of that real quick. So when they're unloaded, you can see they're on the left. They're nice and high, relaxed, and then whenever they're loaded, they can squeeze down as much as needed, which will help increase stability and it's gonna provide great performance while you're hauling those heavy loads, it's gonna reduce vehicle sag and they can and do work independently, side to side from one another, and that just helps compensate for those off center loads and things like that. Let's see, they do also reduce body roll when you're swerving and turning corners and they're gonna act like shock absorbers.
They're gonna take the brunt of the bumps and the rough roads and thus extend the life of your vehicle suspension as well. So you're gonna get two of these hollow rubber springs. They do have steel inserts on the bottom, and if you can kind of see or hear inside, they've got washers inside of 'em too. That way whenever you put the bolts through to install them, all the washers are already inside there, but then you get the other parts needed as well. This does install directly onto the frame.
There's no drilling whatsoever required, so that just makes it a much easier install. These are rated at 15,000 pounds. Always, always, always make sure you're not exceeding your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So keep in mind, this is also designed to work with a suspension system that's already in good working order. Folks, you're gonna have a nice limited lifetime warranty and a satisfaction guarantee with these as well, so you shouldn't have nothing to worry about.
That's gonna wrap it up for our look at these Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. I'm Steve, thanks for watching. Have a great day and stay safe out there.
Shipping was fast, product looks to be well made.
Product does not help rear swag with fifth wheel camper but a half inch. On brand new truck as well. Not happy with product. Called to return them and want me to pay 27.00 shipping and stated in email that was sent to me I couldn’t return if installed. I’m not understanding this ? Do not buy ! I won’t be doing any more business with etrailer . Not helpful at all
Just installed on 2008 Hyundai Entorouge seems to work well. Only problem was that I had buy new hardware because the supplied hardware was standard not metric.
Works like expected. Keeps the truck looking level even under heavy loads.
Excellent communication and insane fast shipping!
Fast delivery and easy installation
I received my order within days. It was exactly as I expected. The product works as advertised. I am a now a lifelong customer of etrailer.com.
Excellent addition to my hd truck makes towing a lot easier

Super fast to instal and make towing my 36ft camper a much smoother ride!
Simple installation and the cost is gre at.
Very efficient and great to work with. Will definitely use your company again. Thanks
Installed in about 15 minutes,very easy.I pick up my new truck camper next week so I do not know how it works yet,but looks like it will work like its suppose too
Product arrived on time and does exactly what it describes. Little stiffer ride without a load but with a load it made my truck handle so much better at low and high speed.
Great service and quick shipping
Just as overtired , they stiffened up the ride , plus no more sag in rear ended of truck .
Great job. Will use etrailer again.
Just received them just install them looks like they work great etrailer is always right on spot
Seamlessly easy
Just what my truck needed to stop the sag when I hook up to my 5th wheel.
Sorry to report that the Timbren package arrived in original box that looked as though it had been ripped open and the carefully taped shut with clear packing tape. I thought at first that shipper had damaged it but all parts were there so I started install. Half way thru I discovered two of the lock nuts were stripped and threads on the right axle pad were burred at the start. We live 14 miles round trip from the closest ace hardware. I used a die to repair the axle pad threads but had to stop for the day to purchase new lock nuts. Feel like I got a used set for new price.
Very quick delivery, earlier than I expected. Easy to install. Just what was needed for rear weight support when pulling a trailer.
Easy to install and does not affect the ride till you have a load, then they help support the load. Good product!
Great Product, arrived quickly and packaged well.
Will be buying from them in the future.
