Rough roads and heavy loads often lead to bounce and rattle, but the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension keeps the ride steady. Its Double Aeon rubber springs compress and become stiffer as weight increases, so you get the right amount of support no matter how much you’re hauling. These springs absorb road shock, reduce sway, and help every tire stay in contact with the ground. The result is a smooth, quiet, and controlled ride whether the trailer is empty or fully loaded.
Traditional leaf springs can transfer weight unevenly between axles, causing a harsh, uneven feel on rough ground. The Silent Ride system uses a single-pivot walking beam to balance the load across both axles. This design equalizes movement through one central point, keeping weight distribution smooth and consistent. The trailer tracks level over bumps, dips, or uneven surfaces, keeping your cargo more stable and protected.
The system’s heavy-duty steel frame is finished with a rust-resistant powder coat for long-term durability. Fitted rubber bushings keep the control arms fully engaged, ensuring the Aeon springs are always active. With no wet bolts or grease fittings to maintain, the setup stays quiet and reliable mile after mile—just check the bolts periodically and keep it clean.
Designed to replace existing leaf springs on tandem-axle trailers with 3" round axles, this system installs with either bolt-on or weld-on methods. It requires a 2"x4" hollow steel crossmember with 3/16" wall thickness (not included) for connection between the left- and right-hand units. Once mounted, it delivers a stable 14,000-lb total capacity with a 33" axle spacing, transforming how your trailer rides and handles.
Metal springs can be stiff when empty or harsh when loaded. The Silent Ride system adapts automatically—each rubber spring activates only when needed, reducing body roll and keeping the trailer level in corners. From smooth highways to uneven ground, the Silent Ride keeps movement controlled and predictable so your trailer feels balanced no matter the terrain.

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.
