Features to know about

Smooth Ride on Any Road: Aeon Rubber Springs Absorb Shock and Bounce

Rough roads can make your trailer shake, rattle, and bounce. This suspension system replaces leaf springs with Aeon progressive-rate rubber springs that soak up road shock and adjust stiffness as weight increases. Whether the trailer is empty or fully loaded, the springs deliver a smooth, steady ride and keep it level over uneven ground.

Stable Load Control on Uneven Terrain: Pivoting Arms Keep Tires Grounded

When one side of the trailer hits a bump, the pivoting arms help the tires stay planted. They move with the terrain so the trailer stays level, reducing sway and vibration. The suspension’s fitted rubber bushings keep it fully engaged at all times so the ride stays stable and the tires maintain traction.

Built to Handle Heavy Loads: 5,000-lb Capacity and 3" Round Axle Compatibility

This system is made for single-axle trailers with a 3" diameter axle and supports up to 5,000 lbs. The heavy-duty steel construction with a durable powder coat finish resists rust and road wear. It’s designed to carry weight confidently while keeping the trailer’s movement smooth and predictable.

Quiet, Low-Maintenance Performance: Rubber Components Eliminate Rattle

Metal-on-metal noise is replaced by the quiet flex of rubber. The built-in bushings and springs cut down on squeaks and clunks while staying virtually maintenance-free. There are no leaf packs to grease or align—just simple, reliable motion that stays quiet mile after mile.

Straightforward Setup for a Strong Connection: Bolt- or Weld-On Design

Installation can be done by bolting or welding, depending on your setup. It requires a 2" x 2" hollow steel crossmember with 1/4" wall thickness (not included) and Grade-5, 5/8" bolts for bolt-on mounting. The included axle seats weld directly to the axle beam so everything ties together into a solid, lasting suspension mount.

The description isn't very clear, I thought 2000lbs suspension would mean 2000lbs per side, not 2000lbs combined capacity. Okay I get it, it was ignorance on my part, but I wish the description would've been a little clearer. The company wasn't interested in helping me out, other than happily selling me a new one at the normal price. There again, hey it's not their problem I guess. Even so at 2000Lbs, the suspension sags like crazy and doesn't ride any better than the traditional, much cheaper leaf spring system.

Very nice product

I’m really torn about these. On the one hand, they are silent and tow really really well. Until you hit a bump. So far, our microwave broke, the hood on our range came loose, and the Aeon (sp?) dampeners should ideally be taller to prevent the axle from hitting the frame when a pothole is hit. I have contacted the manufacturer and they have been super supportive and sent me 5k springs, but it didn’t fix the bottoming out issue. I am at a loss as to what to do next. So am I happy? Not really. Did it solve my issue? Kinda. What would make it perfect is a taller spring or some way to adjust the articulating arms so they are so closed (like scissors) and give the axle a reason to hit the frame. That jarring caused the microwave to break and the hood to come loose. We didn’t have these issues with the leaf springs.
by:
It is quiet, but… Since they are both mounted to a solid axle it doesn’t provide any sway from side to side. It is very bouncy on uneven side to side bumps and doesn’t track well. I’m sure this works well in a spindle configuration when spindles/wheels are independent. I ordered new leaf springs to remove them. Quite disappointed.

Thanks for your review James. We're sorry to hear the Timbren Silent Ride suspension didn't perform as expected on your trailer. One thing worth checking is whether the system is operating within its intended weight range, as trailers that are significantly underloaded can sometimes experience a firmer, bouncier ride. It's also important to verify that the suspension components are installed square and that the axle alignment is correct, since alignment can affect tracking performance.

@KateF thank you Kate. Yes we checked mounting, torque and the weight is well under the capacity at 1550 lbs GVW loaded. It seems the problem noted by mechanics is the design. The solid axle mounted directly to rigid side swing arms does not allow for any flex, or sway, side to side. On even bumps it’s great, like speed bumps. But a bump on one side unsettles the trailer and aggressively re-arranges cargo. I wish I had read this review before I bought this product. I like the idea of the product, and may still consider the axle less design moving forward, but for now, for the sake of my cargo and safety, I’m going back to leaf springs.

My worries about my trailer have been removed. I am very happy with the suspension system and would recommend these suspension systems.

Fantastic!

We used this on an aluminum utility trailer that originally had a leaf spring setup. Easy to install, we just flipped the trailer upside down...
Turned a so-so trailer into an awesome one. Thanks!
by:
Probably the best upgrade I will ever do to our Roof Top Tent trailer. Rides absolutely amazing. I’ll never run leaf springs again.

Man! These have been so awesome on our trailer over the past year. We’ve been on many trips without issue. They ride great and still feel as solid as day 1. I’ll change from leaf springs to these on my next trailer for sure!

by:
Ok, probably overkill and certainly makes for a premium utility trailer. But compared to other trailers, there’s zero rattling and bouncing around. Install went better than expected too. Did have to weld quick to keep the heat down since the rubbers are right on the other side!
by:
I like the product. But the instructions aren’t the best one part of the instructions tell you to bolt the cross member on then when you look at the picture they tell you to weld it. If you look at your videos they showed a bracket on the front of the hanger that you can bolt it on. To weld it on you have to be careful not to burn the rubber part of the suspension that is right where they want you to weld it.

Had some problems with missing parts, but customer service was on the ball. got rest of parts 4 days later.. So to say customer was very helpful is an understatement. Installment was easy. Instructions were helpful. etrailer has my vote....
by:
Installation went well. Not yet used for a heavy load. Switched from leaf spring suspension and empty doesn't seem to bounce any less than prior to the switch. Moderate load does show some improvement.

A more stable ride Wolf-Pup Forrester RV trailer.

I have had both leaf suspensions and torsion suspensions on pull behind campers. I decided to try these when I had to replace my torsion axles. The Timbrens are without a doubt the best suspension I have ever used. The trailer rides much smoother as it creates an independent suspension for each wheel. The rubber pad absorption design adds to the smoothness. The camper is also much more stable when towing and I don,t end up with stuff all over the floor of the camper from a rough ride. I am extremely satisfied and highly recommend this suspension system.
