Leaf springs can make a trailer rattle and hop when it’s empty or lightly loaded. The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension replaces those with Aeon progressive-rate rubber springs that soak up road shock and smooth out every bump. The springs stiffen automatically as the load increases, so the ride stays steady whether the trailer is empty or packed full. The result is less bounce, less noise, and a smoother ride that keeps cargo protected mile after mile.
When one wheel drops into a rut, a leaf-spring setup can twist and throw the trailer off balance. The Silent Ride’s pivoting arms work independently to keep the trailer level and all tires planted. Each side compresses or extends as needed so the load stays stable even on rough or uneven terrain. It’s a simple design that gives a big boost in control and comfort.
Every part of this setup is made to handle hard miles. The suspension arms are heavy-duty steel with a rust-resistant powder-coat finish, while the fitted rubber bushings and Aeon springs are built to last. The system is virtually maintenance-free and backed by a 5-year limited warranty plus 10-year coverage on the rubber springs and bushings. It’s a long-term fix that keeps the trailer rolling quietly and smoothly.
The Silent Ride system fits single-axle trailers with a 2-3/8" diameter axle and a total weight capacity of 2,000 lbs. It installs using a 2" x 2" hollow steel crossmember with 1/8" wall thickness (not included) and Grade-5, 1/2" bolts if you choose the bolt-on option. The included axle seats weld directly to your axle beam for a clean, solid fit. Once installed, you get a modern suspension that performs quietly and reliably without the upkeep of leaf springs.

Worth the money! Super nice ride loaded and empty.

Perfect replacement for my car carrier axles
looks great solves spring hanging easier to install personal flat bed 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.
A more stable ride Wolf-Pup Forrester RV trailer.
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.
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....
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.
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!
Probably the best upgrade I will ever do to our Roof Top Tent trailer. Rides absolutely amazing. I’ll never run leaf springs again.
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!
My worries about my trailer have been removed. I am very happy with the suspension system and would recommend these suspension systems.
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.
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.
Very nice product
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.

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.
