Leaf springs can clatter and bounce, especially when the trailer is empty or lightly loaded. The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension replaces those leaf springs with Double Aeon progressive-rate rubber springs that adjust to the load. They compress and stiffen as weight increases, soaking up road shock and keeping the trailer stable. The rubber also acts as a return spring to reduce rattle and bottoming out, giving a steady, quiet ride whether you're hauling heavy or running light.
Uneven terrain can throw weight from one axle to the other, making the ride harsh and unpredictable. The Silent Ride uses a single-pivot walking beam design that equalizes the load between both axles. This means smoother transitions over bumps and dips, better tire contact with the ground, and a more controlled ride when the road gets rough.
Durability matters when you’re logging miles. Each unit uses heavy-duty steel construction with a rust-resistant powder coat finish. Fitted rubber bushings keep the control arms fully engaged so the springs work exactly as intended. The system stays quiet and stable without the maintenance headaches of greasing or adjusting metal parts.
As trailers age, sagging springs and uneven loads can lead to lean or poor tracking. The Silent Ride’s pivoting arms help the trailer stay level, keeping the frame height consistent. With the axle center positioned 6-1/2" below the frame when unloaded and 2" of clearance when fully compressed, your geometry stays dialed in. The setup supports up to 10,000 lbs on tandem axles with 3" round tubes for dependable performance mile after mile.
This system bolts or welds to a 2" x 4" hollow steel crossmember with 1/4" wall thickness (not included) and uses Grade-5, 5/8" bolts for secure mounting. Once installed, it’s virtually maintenance-free. Two complete suspension units come in the kit, backed by a 5-year limited warranty and 10-year coverage on the rubber bushings and springs. It’s a solid, long-term upgrade that keeps your trailer smooth, level, and quiet.

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.
