Heavy gear, a camper, or a plow can bring your front or rear end down and throw your handling off. The Timbren Front or Rear Suspension Enhancement System adds up to 2,000 lbs of load support by using hollow rubber springs that sit above the axle. They work with your factory suspension to keep your vehicle level and stable, improving steering and braking control even when you’re hauling or towing. No air hoses or compressors are needed—just simple bolt-on support that starts working as soon as it’s installed.
Bumpy roads and uneven loads don’t have to mean a rough ride. Each Timbren Aeon spring compresses progressively—the folds collapse first for a soft start, then the stacked shape stiffens as weight increases. This design absorbs road shock and cushions your suspension so you get a smoother, more controlled ride whether you’re loaded heavy or running light. The rubber construction also helps prevent bottoming out on rough terrain, extending the life of your factory suspension.
When curves or crosswinds try to push your ride around, these hollow rubber springs work independently on each side to keep things level. That means less body roll and sway when cornering, swerving, or carrying an off-center load. You’ll feel the difference when the vehicle stays planted through turns and uneven ground.
Installing real load support doesn’t have to be complicated. The Timbren system replaces the factory bump stops with vehicle-specific brackets and includes all the hardware for a clean bolt-on fit—no drilling required. Once mounted above the axle, the springs engage right away to cushion and support your suspension. With durable rubber construction designed for long-term use and a limited lifetime warranty, it’s a straightforward upgrade built for real-world hauling.

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System. This is going to be an upgraded bump stop for the front end of your vehicle, whether it be a car like the 4Runner here or a motor home. These are gonna come in a variety of different kits and fits with different capacities and help stabilize the front end of your vehicle. Let's check it out.
So why would you be looking for something on the front end of the suspension enhancement side A lot of people are pretty familiar with airbags on the rear axle, and a lot of those suspension enhancement components are used in towing applications or maybe truck beds where you've got really heavy loads in the bed and you need extra support at the back of the vehicle. Now what the front end can do is stabilize that front end, if you do have something like a front mounted hitch, maybe a plow on a truck, or on a larger vehicle or even a smaller vehicle like this, it does help stabilize body roll a lot because these are going to be a lot beefier than the factory suspension and the factory bump stops, that is, and help limit that side to side movement as we're taking turns or driving down in like really windy conditions on the highway. So this will give a significant upgrade for those applications. As far as the construction for these goes it's going to be a hollow Aeon rubber material with a progressive spring rate. Now, what the progressive spring rate means is the more this compresses, the more pressure it has, the more it's going to work at returning the vehicle to its natural position.
So it's just going to resist more and more as it gets further compressed. As for the installation process, this particular one that I've been holding is for the 4Runner, and this one is a very basic kit. It really just has a threaded end with a bolt and a plate on the inside, but this just spreads into a factory weld done on the 4Runner. Very straightforward install. But for all the other different fits and kits, those are gonna have custom brackets and their own hardware that come with it.
So no matter what one you end up going with, if it's a fit for your vehicle, it's going to be custom fit. So the installation should be just a straightforward bolt on process. Now obviously that can vary depending on the kit and what vehicle you're putting it on, especially on the motor home side of things. But for the most part, you should be able to have a very straightforward install process with any of these kits you pick out. And to make sure you find the right kit for you, be sure to enter your vehicle information into our fit guide and use that to narrow down for the custom fit options available for your vehicle.
If you're considering some front suspension enhancement, I do think that these bump stops from Timbren are a really solid option. From the testing we did in installation on our 4Runner, they performed great. They reduced a ton of the body roll and really helped when we're going over speed bumps and just aggressive driving conditions where we need that extra support. Whether you've got a truck with a plow on it, or a motor home that you're trying to reduce body roll on, something like this can be be a huge help and it's a very straightforward solution. But that'll do it for a look at the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System Bump Stops. Thanks for watching.

I absolutely recommend putting TIMBREN on the front of any plow vehicle. I have now used these on two light duty vehicles. Currently on a 2013 Jeep, the difference is amazing. No more two inch dip when I lift the 480 pound plow. E trailer gets them out to you quicker than expected. I had mine professionally installed so I can’t attest to the directions provided, but there is always a video available now in most everything. The daily ride isn’t much affected because of tire pressure. I do run them a little fuller during plow season. This is a definite win for your plow truck.
