Features to know about

Stay Level Under Heavy Loads: 7,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

When you’re hauling gear or towing a trailer, the rear end can sag and throw off your balance. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System adds up to 7,000 lbs of load support with hollow rubber springs that sit above the axle. They keep the vehicle level under weight so steering, braking, and traction stay consistent. The system works with your existing suspension to take strain off the stock components and maintain a confident ride when loaded down.

Smooth Ride Over Rough Roads: Progressive Rubber Springs

Bumpy roads and rough terrain can make long hauls uncomfortable. The Aeon hollow rubber springs in this setup act like shock absorbers, soaking up bumps and road vibration. Their progressive design means they stay soft under light loads but get stiffer as more weight is added, giving you a smooth, stable ride whether the bed is empty or full.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When a trailer sways or a curve pushes you around, these springs step in to keep things level. Each spring works independently on its side of the vehicle, cutting down on body roll and sway during sharp turns or uneven loads. That independent motion helps keep both sides planted so your handling stays predictable even when conditions change.

Install It Once, Use It for Years: Simple Bolt-On Design

Getting more stability shouldn’t mean tearing apart your suspension. This system bolts directly onto the frame rails above the rear axle using custom brackets and hardware—no drilling required. The rubber springs replace your factory bump stops and are designed to work with a suspension that’s already in good shape. With no airlines or compressors to manage, it’s an easy install that’s built to last with a limited lifetime warranty.

7,000-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:

Great upgrade when pulling our 6500lb travel trailer. Helps with sag and control on the road on our Ram 1500. Change the stock shocks and if you choose, upgrade your stock springs, and you'll get the most out of your half ton.

Absolutely Pleased with the TIMBRENS. They were easy to install, and took less than an hour to install both. I noticed a slight stiffness in the ride as the rear bounced over a bad roadway. Towing is great, with a nice level and smooth ride. I am glad that I did not order the heavier duty Timbrens, than what was recomended for my truck. I believe the ride would have been too stiff. If you look at the photos showing the timbrens, the truck is still lifted in the rear, so what you see is a big gap between the rubber, and the steal plate. When the truck is lowered, there's 1" of space as it should be. BTW, I have been purchasing from etrailer for years now, and I have to say that I have never had any issues with any orders. They are my go to folks for all of my vehicle suppension stuff and trailer stuff. You can't go wrong with buying from them.



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!

A challenge to put in but I got them in and they significantly decreased my RV Sway

The Timbren arrived within one week of ordering them. I installed them myself. They were a little more difficult to install than I anticipated. I am happy with the performance.

Well didn’t think it was gonna be here on time, when I saw usps thought o no gonna be 3 extra days, but low n behold arrived 3 days early, big shout out to e trailer, I’m not home at this time to ck it out but a least it was delivered, may leave update after install



by:

A slight improvement but the product does not stabilize the rear suspension as much as i hoped it would. Rocks from side to side too much.



by:

I installed the bumpers on my 2017 Thor Siesta motor home with the Sprinter 3500 chassis. Removal of the original bumpers were simple and easy. The installation of the new ones was not so easy. The installation instructions were poor. I know why there is no video of this task. It was a trial and error process for me. I finally ending up using three large flat tip screwdrivers . Once I installed one side the other was easy. I have not driven the motor home on the highway yet so I don't know if they improved the ride.



by:

Once we got it right. The first pair was to weak for my Navion and the blocks would fold over and come out. The customer service Rep sent me a beefier set of blocks. That solved the issue and I have been very happy with the extra support and sway control on the Navion motorhome.

After a year I would rate these as excellent. They have done everything I wanted and the Navion is substantially more stable. Most people add the back ones and that did help but then added the front ones and everything improved. The system seems very balanced and is know an ease to drive.



by:

Was somewhat of a struggle getting the hard rubber flanges into the welded brackets on the Mercedes frame,, a couple of larger flathead screwdrivers and some liquid hand soap definitely made the job so much easier !! Awesome driving improvement on my Mercedes Sprinter Thor Tiburon 24 TT



by:

Installed the Timbren SES suspension aid on a 3500 Sprinter-based Winnebago motorhome. The ride/handling around town is improved - but have not experienced highway use yet. Installing these is very difficult. Required 4 hours for frustration and hard work. You must install one end of rubber mounting tab into bracket on frame and then "work" other tab into the frame bracket using large screwdriver, small wrecking bar, or both. Timbren recommends soapy water - others have used silicon or WD40 (which Timbren does not recommend). It would be nice of the instructions provided more detail on installation technique.

I am going to install the Timbren MBRSP35A - Rear Axle SES Suspension Upgrade on my RV, but until they arrive, I re-installed the original that I took out for dimensions. I did quickly discover the difficulty of re-installing it, but also found a trick that helped and once found it installed fairly easy. As mentioned above, install one end of the rubber mounting tab into the bracket on the frame. Next, dont try to get the opposite tab in all at once...start with the inside corner of the tab, and with a large screw driver, begin working from the inside towards the outside, stuffing it just a little at a time...no soap, no lube...it just slipped right in.I hope that helps. I think the MBRSP35A - Rear Axle SES Suspension Upgrade will even be easier because you at least have the full body to grip and apply pressure as you work the screwdriver.



by:

Less ride motion when changing lanes or dealing with crosswinds. It was challenging for the recommended provider to install. Worth the expense.

  • What Suspension Enhancement can I Add to My 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 for Sway?
    Hello Mara, Happy to clarify the difference! The # TMBRSP35B is rated for 11K, while the # TMBRSP35A is rated for 7K. Timbrens are a great option, especially for someone who consistently hauls a heavy load. However, if you’re not carrying that kind of weight all the time, they can make your ride feel a bit harsh when unloaded. If you're looking for something similar to Timbrens but with a smoother, more forgiving ride when not under load, I’d recommend going with SumoSprings. Here are...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Motorhome
    For your motorhome built on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 we have great suspension enhancement kits available but none that use air bags. Instead the kit I would recommend is the SumoSprings kit part # SSF-106-47 which is similar to the Timbren but won't be as harsh of a ride. This will help brace the rear suspension which will help the vehicle ride better and not have quite as much body roll. If you haven't driven the motorhome yet I'd recommend doing so first. There's no rule that...

    For the front axle of your 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 I recommend the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TMBFSP35. These Jounce-style springs will help reduce the side-to-side sway you're experiencing. These rubber springs will absorb most of the road shock, creating a smoother, more stable ride overall. Wear and tear on your suspension is also lessened because the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads. For the rear axle I recommend the SumoSprings...

  • Recommendation for Reducing Rock On 2016 Forest River Sunseeker Mercedes Chassis Leaving Driveway
    I recommend adding the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-338-47 to your 2016 Forest River Sunseeker on the Mercedes 3500 RV cutaway chassis. These are a progressive rate spring that will help to absorb the rocking when pulling out of the driveway. The Timbren Springs # TMBRSP35A are a much harder rubber spring and will lead to more shock/bounce than absorbing the the compression.

    It's entirely possible for any product to fail at some point in time but I would be shocked if the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TMBRSP35A on your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 is failing because these are solid pieces of heavy duty rubber so it's not like an air bag kit that can develop a leak.

    It's a very common misconception that suspension products like the SumoSprings, air bags, or Timbrens # TMBRSP35A will increase the capacity of a vehicle or RV. Nothing will increase the load capacity since there are numerous other factors that play into the load capacity, such as the frame, tires, and many other components.
