8,600-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your Thor ACE Motorhome. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. Easy to install and use.

Specs:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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'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.
The items get shipped really quickly, and their prices are excellent. Great customer service too!
Installed in 15 minutes! Significant improvement in ride with my 6000lb (loaded) lance camper on a F450.
Came on time easy to install and works like a charm.

Thay do not touch rear housing after loading One half inch gap Ronnie dobbins
My rep Jamie is awesome! She confirmed the part for my truck and got it shipped immediately. The product looks strong and was an easy install.
Very Poor and unsatisfactory. Box arrived unsealed with no attempt to tape box closed from shipper or manufacturer. Hardware is the worst quality control I have seen in 25 years of working with automotive parts. The 3/8 nut welded to the flat bar was painted inside 75% of the threads and the nut and bolt are stripping trying to clean up the threads. The welding and painting is very poor quality on all parts. Paint shows bare steel in many locations. The nuts and bolts are plain steel and not protected from corrosion at all except where they got paint from the flat bar inside the threaded nut!
I haven't installed these yet, but they were just what I was looking for to take the "squat" out of my truck while pulling my toy hauler.
These along with my WDH should level the truck just fine.
Was able to install easily with video.
Easy to understand instructions, easy to install.
Quick shipping,great service..
This worked as advertised, install was quick and easy!
The supplied bolts are too short. Finding the right bolts added to time to do the install.
The jounce springs are 1/2 inch from axle. I'm sure the ride will be very harsh even when not loaded...
Very satisfied! Easy to install and use on my Nissan Titan. I didn’t even need to remove the wheel to install it. Now my truck does not squat when pulling a trailer or carrying heavy load.
Easy installation. The truck sits well and feels better on the road
Fast delivery, easy installation, they work great. Recommend.
Tried to order part first time, rotten customer service. Called back spoke to manager, much better service received part very quickly. Unfortunately part had bad bolts and or nuts, would not work together. Manager said if I had any problems I could call her number directly and she would take care of it. Have tried to reach her for three days no response. Called regular etrailer number and they want pictures sent to them and then it would have to be reviewed and I was informed I they were behind schedule, so only could guess how long it would take. Sending parts back and demanding refund. Have been doing business with etrailer for many years and this is the thanks I get for being a long time customer. Will not be shopping with etrailer ever again
Easy install - took less than 30 minutes. The truck now sits level with the bed loaded.
Very easy to install but not sure they help much. It appears to make my ride much rougher as it doesn't seem they have my shock absorption.
Carrieann was awesome in helping try to solve a very difficult problem. The product installed easily just as the direction stated and the video you put on the website was very useful. Thanks
Order is great and quality is great
Perfect fit and works as advertised. The Timbren were very easy to install. Thanks for the advice etrailer!
When I called they were very knowledgeable about the products and made sure I ordered what was going to work on my truck.
So far they look great. I will put on this weekend and see how they work with my travel trailer.
