Rough pavement or uneven ground can make a trailer bounce and rattle. The Timbren Silent Ride suspension system replaces the leaf springs with Aeon progressive-rate rubber springs that soak up road shock and keep the trailer level. These springs get stiffer as the load increases, so the ride stays stable whether the trailer is full or empty. The rubber also rebounds in a controlled way, cutting down on bounce and protecting cargo from harsh jolts.
When weight shifts unevenly between axles, handling suffers. The Silent Ride’s walking beam design keeps things balanced by using a single central pivot point that shares the load smoothly between both axles. The result is a steady ride with less body roll and sway, even when the ground isn’t level. Every tire stays planted so traction and braking feel consistent.
This system is made for serious hauling. Each of the two suspension units is built from heavy-duty steel with a durable, rust-resistant powder coat finish, giving it the strength to handle up to 7,000 lbs of total weight capacity. The tough materials and simple mechanical design mean it’s virtually maintenance-free and built to last through high mileage and rough use.
Metal-on-metal rattle is common with leaf springs, but the Silent Ride system runs quiet. Rubber bushings keep the control arms engaged and eliminate play that causes noise. With no metal springs to flex and squeak, it delivers smooth, near-silent operation and needs almost no upkeep once installed.
The system comes ready for either bolt-on or weld-on installation, giving flexibility for different trailer builds. It’s designed for tandem-axle trailers with 3" square axles and a 35" axle spread. With the required 2" x 4" hollow steel crossmember in place, it installs as a solid, reliable upgrade that transforms how the trailer rides and handles.

The new suspension is working perfectly. 100 recommend. No springs for me.

So far all is great! The highways around here are in horrible condition. My trailer has the straight high brush fenders so you can see the tires and axles in the side mirror as you drive. Those tires are jumping like crazy on the rough pavement, but the trailer body is so smooth the cows think theyre riding in a Cadillac!

After a year and approximately 8k mi on the suspension, the Timbren Silent Ride seems strong. The silent aspect of this suspension is no longer silent after things have broken in but not nearly as squeaky as the leaf setup. My stock 2-38” axle beams are slightly bent up at the ends so I’m in the process of upgrading those to 3”. I would also like the next step up in springelastomer but can’t justify the price north of $500 for the 4 rubber springs. When loaded I only have about 1-34” up travel currently before axle bottoms out on frame. My only complaint or recommendation would be for future designs to enable more suspension articulation and up travel capabilities.

I'm glad these improved the ride for you Cody, and the install looks good too! What are you usually hauling?
