2,400-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the front or rear axle to help stabilize and level your Jeep Wrangler 4xe. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability.

Specs:
The resistance from Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System works with the vehicle's factory suspension to keep the vehicle level, thereby improving your driving performance. When a truck bed is loaded, the rear of the vehicle will sag under the load, and the front will sag under the burden of heavy equipment such as a snow plow. In this case, the axle is handling not only the weight of the load, but more of the vehicle's weight as well. Because less weight is on the opposite axle, those tires are making significantly less contact with the road meaning there is less traction and therefore a decrease in overall control, handling and stopping.
The Timbren system has a vehicle-specific bracket that will be bolted onto each frame rail above the front axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket, hanging down so that the bottom of the spring is touches the axle. Because the spring is already making contact, it is working at once to cushion and support the vehicle's existing suspension.
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 provides increased resistance, stiffening the suspension and keeping the vehicle level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's or passenger's side of the 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 hauling off-center loads.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System will raise the front of the end of the vehicle when heavy equipment, such as a plow, is attached. Headlight beams will be pointed in the right direction and tire wear will be reduced. If the plow is off center or has an extension, the hollow rubber springs will automatically compensate for this as well.
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 as the rubber springs work to prevent bottoming out on rough roads.
Compared to the competition:
Timbren's suspension enhancement systems are much easier to install than air springs - no air hoses are needed to be run, no compressors or gauges to hook up, and no manual adjustments necessary. The rubber construction causes Timbren's springs to be more elastic than similar products constructed of micro-cellular urethane. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride when loaded or towing because the rubber has more travel.

Hi everyone, Aidan here at etrailer. Today, we're gonna be taking a look at these Timbren Active Off-Road Suspension Enhancement System Bumpstops. These are gonna come in a variety of different fits and kits for various different vehicles, so be sure to check the fit guide and find the right kit for you. But let's check out the whole line and see how they work. So these bumpstops are designed to be a custom fit application for the front end of whatever vehicle you put them on. We just finished installing them on the 4Runner here, and it just dropped in place where the original factory bumpstops were.
These ones are a fair bit bigger, not completely huge, but still an upgrade from the factory ones, giving us enough room for some movement and travel, but offering more support for off-road applications and increased support for things like body roll. Now, depending on what you're looking for, you might consider a set of these for the rear. Those are often used for towing applications or we've got tongue weight on the vehicle or a load in our truck bed where there's maybe some sag back there. So if that's more what you're looking for, use our fit guide to find the right kit for you on the rear axle, but for the front end, this is what you can expect, and it's mainly going to be targeting the driving performance. These are going to be constructed with a natural rubber compound and come with all the pieces you need to get set up.
Pretty much all of them are gonna be designed to be a custom bolt-on application with little to no drilling required. Now, obviously, that's going to depend based on whatever kit you go with, the installation process will be a little bit different. For the 4Runner ones here, it was really just threading it directly into a factory weld nut, and in the case of that factory weld nut being broken or not operational anymore, they do include a nut with the kit in case you need it. And while Timbren does offer these Active Off-Road Bumpstops that are designed to give you a little bit more travel and maybe be better for off-road applications, they do offer other kits that are just their standard suspension enhancement system. Now, again, depending on what kit and vehicle fit you go for, it might be a little bit different, but for the most part, it should be a little bit bigger and be more targeted towards just increasing the overall ride quality of your vehicle when you're driving.
So in the case of these 4Runner ones, they make quicker contact and help a lot more with body roll. Even though they don't give as much room for travel, they will offer a great amount of support, especially over the factory bumpstops. And with these springs, I do wanna mention, it uses a progressive spring rate, so the more that they compress, the more they're going to push back and try to return the vehicle to its natural driving state. So as it compresses more, it is going to offer more support where it's needed. And that's really all there is to it, it really just comes down to finding the right kit for your vehicle, and then, getting them installed.
That installation process is gonna vary depending on which kit you go with, so be sure to check our website, see if they have any install videos to follow along with, but for the most part, they're very straightforward, it's just a bolt on installation. But that'll do it for a look at this line of Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops. Thanks for watching.
