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.
Perfect fit and works as advertised. The Timbren were very easy to install. Thanks for the advice etrailer!
I haven't installed these yet, but they were just what I was looking for to take the "squat" out of my truck while pulling my toy hauler.
These along with my WDH should level the truck just fine.
These are the hardest ride you could possibly get loaded or unloaded I would not recomend timbrens to anyone. Had to eat the cost and replace them with air bags. (Aweful product)
Was able to install easily with video.
great and fast service needed the parts right away for a road trip and you got it done
Happy with this purchase. Keeps the truck level and the ride smooth.
The supplied bolts are too short. Finding the right bolts added to time to do the install.
The jounce springs are 1/2 inch from axle. I'm sure the ride will be very harsh even when not loaded...
fit was good installed in under 1/2 hrs. So far the worked great
Easy installation. The truck sits well and feels better on the road
good customer service
They went right on and all the hardware came with them.
Easy install - took less than 30 minutes. The truck now sits level with the bed loaded.
Worked better than I excepted. I have a old pickup with really tired suspension and this product made it better than new.
Very satisfied! Easy to install and use on my Nissan Titan. I didn’t even need to remove the wheel to install it. Now my truck does not squat when pulling a trailer or carrying heavy load.
Have not installed product yet,Christmas present for a friend.Box came damaged from postal service,tore open,hopefully all parts are there.
I assume they help. I have no way of telling before and after
When I called they were very knowledgeable about the products and made sure I ordered what was going to work on my truck.
Carrieann was awesome in helping try to solve a very difficult problem. The product installed easily just as the direction stated and the video you put on the website was very useful. Thanks
My rep Jamie is awesome! She confirmed the part for my truck and got it shipped immediately. The product looks strong and was an easy install.
Some soapy water, a short 2x4 and bouncing up and down on the bumper a few times and these were installed. From removal of the old ones til the new ones were in took about 30 mins.
Easy install, test drive went well. Looks like the fix that was needed!
Product looks good. Now if only they came with an installer.
Always great experience.
I recently purchased a 2024 tundra hybrid platinum. With this being the luxury addition the rear suspension is lacking when in comes to towing when I would hook to my 7x16 enclosed trailer my truck really saved.
I purchased and installed the timbren ses stops and no more sag. The ride of my truck remains smooth when unloaded and the timbrens also stopef the side to side rocking. Will post another after I tow a few times.
Easy to install on my 2022 RST Silverado, took approx 10 minutes start to finish.
