An example of sag on a vehicle's rear axle under a heavy load

Whether you're hauling heavy loads in your bed or cargo area or you're towing a trailer, you will often see the rear of your vehicle sag while the front end rises. In these cases, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but also more of the vehicle's weight. Because less weight is on the front axle, the front tires are making less contact with the road. Overall handling - traction, steering, and braking - is negatively affected. But the resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with your factory suspension to keep your vehicle level and improve your driving experience.


Diagram of the Timbren spring installed

The Timbren system comes with custom-fit brackets that are bolted onto each frame rail above the rear axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket and hang down to where the bottom of the spring sits, 1" above the axle. The inch of clearance allows the existing factory suspension to operate normally under light loads and standard terrain, ensuring the smooth, comfortable ride that you are used to.


Animation of a standard Timbren rubber spring

Timbren Suspension Enhancement Systems are designed to work progressively. When the hollow rubber springs are compressed, the convoluted design causes them to quickly collapse along the folds. Once the folds are compacted, the stacked barrel shape increases resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping your vehicle level.


Timbren suspension system works to prevent body roll

Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's side or passenger's side of your vehicle. This is helpful when you swerve or make sharp turns. Each spring is activated when it is needed, so body roll is greatly reduced. The independent action also works well when you are hauling off-center loads.


An example of a trailers swaying

Because the vehicle handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along to the trailer, and this helps to keep the trailer in line. Your driving comfort is further enhanced if the trailer does begin to sway (from a gust of wind or a passing semi), because the movement from the trailer is not transferred to your vehicle. This also works to make the sway subside more quickly.


An empty truck on a bumpy road without Timbren

Another great feature of the rubber construction is that the springs absorb most of the road shock, creating a smoother, more stable ride overall when loaded. Wear and tear on the factory suspension is also lessened because the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.


Timbren Suspension Enhancement Compared to the Competition

Timbren's Suspension Enhancement Systems are much easier to install than air springs - there are no air hoses to run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments to make. The rubber construction makes Timbren's springs more elastic than similar products constructed of microcellular urethane. And more elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride when loaded or towing because the rubber has more travel.

  • Is Front Timbren Kit Needed With Rear Kit for 2012 Chrysler Town and Country
    You do not have to use a front Timbren kit when installing the rear kit that fits your 2012 Chrysler Town and Country part # TDVRRT. Since you only need rear suspension support the front can be left alone and it'll be just fine.

  • Rear Helper Spring Recommendation for a 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan
    Getting out to our great National Parks is a fantastic way to spend vacation time but you want to get there in comfort before you have to rough it in the wilderness! Suspension enhancement can definitely help. The Coil SumoSprings # CSS-1195R don't allow the coil springs on your 2009 Dodge Grand Caravan to compress as much thus a reduction in rear end sag is obtained. In that regard they are sufficient but there is a better option. If it were me I would use the Timbren springs # TDVRRT. These...

  • What Suspension Enhancement do you Have for My 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan to Help with Sag?
    Happy to help you get the parts needed to eliminate that rear sag on your 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan. For suspension support, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDVRRT. These install inside the rear coil springs and provide a maintenance-free solution that helps keep your vehicle level when towing or carrying a heavy load. As for a weight distribution hitch, it’s not that you can’t use one with a pop-up camper it really depends on your trailer’s setup. The key questions...

  • Recommended Towing And Suspension Enhancement For 2016 Dodge Grand Caravan
    With a new vehicle you are doing the right thing in setting up everything to safely tow your boat. I can help you out with that. First I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, part # 75579. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes...

  • Troubleshooting Timbren Spring # TDVRRT Noise on 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDVRRT on your 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan do ride close to the axle, but your photo seems closer than normal. We have had some folks mention that when unloaded the Timbren springs ride pretty rough and are really nice when loaded. As far as a banging noise along with the closeness of your axle, that makes me think your suspension may be not quite as nice as it should be. With 90K on your vehicle, you may be due for new shocks and possibly...

    The Air Lift Helper Rear Coil Springs # AL60814 is the better choice for reducing the strain on your 2011 Dodge Grand Caravan's suspension while maintaining a slightly smoother ride for your passengers when you're not towing. I typically recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TDVRRT for trucks that tow/carry heavy loads on a regular basis. An even better option would be a weight distribution system which is chosen based on your total tongue weight which includes the loaded...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDVRRT is not designed to raise the rear of the vehicle. The other systems aren't either, but they do allow you to tow or haul at the same height so you don't have increased sag and even less ground clearance. The Timbren system is great due to the zero maintenance required and will give you the support you are seeking. This is the best way to keep your vehicle from further sag, so I recommend the Timbren system for your application.

    Per Air Lift the leading cause of air bag failure is tearing or punctures from flying debris or interference with other parts underneath the vehicle.

  • Is Weight Distribution or Suspension Enhancement Better When Towing a Trailer with a Grand Caravan
    If you want to eliminate sag and improve ride quality when towing your Fleetwood Santa Fe, a weight distribution system would be your best option. Suspension enhancement products, like the Timbren springs, # TDVRRT, were originally designed to help the factory suspension when hauling a heavy load in the vehicle. A weight distribution system will take weight off of the rear axle of your Grand Caravan and distribute the weight among each axle. This not only reduces sag, but also reduces wear...

  • Will Adding a Vehicle Suspension System Lift my 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan When Carrying Cargo
    The Timbren suspension # TDVRRT you referenced will help with vehicle sag and it won't change the ride height even when your Caravan is empty, In addition, it will improve your suspension, handling and ride quality, but you still shouldn't exceed your Caravan's weight carrying capacity. Even if you have a Class-III hitch like # 13364, you are still limited to the maximum tongue weight capacity of your Caravan. Based on my research I could find, your Caravan has a tongue weight between...

  • Increasing Clearance on Rear of Chrysler Town and Country with Steep Driveway
    This is a fairly common issue with the Town and Country. However our suspension kits like # TDVRRT are not designed to work as a lift kit for the rear end of your truck. They are designed to help reduce the strain on your rear axle when you are carrying heavy loads, keep your vehicle level, and create a smoother ride by adjusting to the load size.

  • How Much Clearance Should Timbren Have Between Axle and Spring When Unloaded
    If your Timbrens don't have between 1 to 1.5 inches of clearance between the axle and the bottom of the spring you are going to have a very harsh ride quality as they springs will be engaged all the time. Is your truck lowered by chance and that's why the clearance isn't right? Did you install spacers between the frame and the spring that you could remove?

  • Will Installing Timbrens On A 2019 Dodge Grand Caravan Require OEM Shock Replacement
    Hey Al, The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDVRRT wouldn't require you to replace your OEM shocks. That would be determined by the lifespan of the shocks. I would look up the mileage rating and compare it to how many miles you have on the vehicle to see if it's time for replacement. Swapping over to better shocks can improve your ride quality if that's an issue you're currently facing too.
