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 everybody, this is Jeff from etrailer.com. Today, we're going to take a look at this Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. Now this is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 2000-2005 international 2,000 and 5,000 series trucks and on a custom fit part like this, always like to recommend for you to go to our website, use the fit guide, put in your year and model vehicle. And it'll show you if this'll work for your application. Now this kit will improve your suspension, handling and safety of your vehicle.
It will provide additional support as needed. So, you always have a nice, smooth, comfortable ride, and it will allow the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning any light loads. It will become more rigid as more weight is added. So increased stability provides great performance while hauling heavy loads, and it does reduce vehicle sag.These will work independently side-to-side, help compensate for any off-center loads and will reduce body roll when you're swerving and turning corners. These will act as shock absorbers.
Taking the brunt of any bumps and rough roads, helps extend the life of your vehicle's suspension. This kit will include these two hollow rubber springs, the vehicle-specific brackets and the hardware included for nice simple installation. It comes with a nice set of detailed instructions. Now, basically this will replace your bump stop assembly. And these brackets here we'll install around the rear axle and then your spring go right on to install right on top of that.
The specs on this, the capacity is 15,000 pounds, but you do want to make sure not to exceed the vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, but that should do it for the review on the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System.
Easy installation. 15 mins total time. Highly recommended if tow anything.
Very easy to install. I got the product in two days. Love etrailer products. THANKS.
nice ride with my 5th wheel
Excellent communication and insane fast shipping!
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.
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
