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. 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 because the rubber has more travel.

Hi, everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a look together at this Timbren Rear Axle Suspension Enhancement System. Now this system is designed to fit your 2007 to 2009 Dodge Sprinter 2500, your 2007 to 2015 Freightliner Sprinter 2500, your 2010 to 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, your 2016 to 2021 Freightliner Sprinter 2500, both two and four-wheel drives, then finally, your 2016 and newer Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, both two and four-wheel drives. On custom fit parts such as these springs, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide. Enter the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if these will work for you or if we have something comfortable that will work for you. Now, these hollow rubber springs have a capacity of 8,600 pounds, and they're going to sit above your rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle.
These springs are also going to give you additional support as needed so you're always gonna have a smooth, comfortable ride, allowing the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning light loads. They're going to ride just as smoothly when you're not hauling a load. They're gonna become more rigid as more weight is added for great performance. When you're hauling a heavy load, increasing stability and reducing vehicle sag. They are gonna work independently, adjusting side to side, helping compensate for off-center loads and reducing body roll when swerving and turning corners.
These springs also serve as shock absorbers, taking the brunt of bumps and rough roads, extending the life of your vehicle suspension. So this kit is going to include everything that you see here. You're gonna get two Aeon hollow rubber springs, you're gonna get the hardware that you need to successfully install these, along with instructions, and I do have the hardware installed here just so you can kind of see what it's going to look like when you have this together. Now, I mentioned at the beginning of our time together that the capacity is 8,600 pounds, it is important to note, however, that these Timbren springs will not actually increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, so you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. And these do have a lifetime warranty from Timbren.
Well, that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that our time together was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

8,600-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. Becomes more rigid as more weight is added for great performance when you're hauling a heavy load.So far everything is working. Just as I though. The only complaint I have is the wait time that it took (12) days from the order date to when I receive the item.
RV handles curves much better then before, more solid handling.
These are exactly what my truck needed for the heavy loads I put into the bed.
nice ride with my 5th wheel
I have not put any weight on it yet so that will come later. I have a 2007 G.M.C. 2500 H.D. and I pull a 40 foot Big Horn Traveler. What I want to talk about is the install. It was quick only took about a hour. Take the tire down and start. Had no problems it went just like the video showed. I did not use the big washer I didn't have enough room.I have about 1 inch of travel before they come in to play so ride is the same.
Takes the sag out for a bargain, but not as good as real springs
Super easy to install. After reading several reviews about this product and how folks went about installing, found that I just needed to remove just one of the U-Bolts and just barely loosened the second. Replaced both in about 30 minutes. Shipping was quick and was exactly what I ordered. Reviews were helpful and will definitely use etrailer again.
Really makes a difference when hauling a heavy gooseneck.
Bump stops I bought from you are way bigger and so much better than oem. Only took less than 30 minutes to install. It was very easy to install.
great delivery time. I received them this afternoon and installed them in about an hour. thanks to the video that showed everything step by step. thanks for a great product. I think this is just what we needed to help haul our camper and pull our car hauler at the same time. thanks again
Superb. Exactly what was needed.
Product fits as described. Will try out when I tow my travel trailer in a few weeks.
Great product, easy to put on. It took less than 45 minutes to put the new Timber butt stops on. Only thing I would request is to tape up the box they cam in, because by the time it travels to your location it’s beat to hell and back. Like the last time I ordered the ones for the front, all the parts were missing. Luckily this time all items were still in the box.
Got them this morning as promised. Haven’t put them to the test yet but installation was a breeze, 30 to 45 minutes. That includes putting away the tools and washing my hands!
Works great with my slide in camper easy install great product will do the front next
Came just as advertised. Waiting to install. As an aside: You might want to make sure all box sides are securely taped as the USPO delivered the box with the un-taped side completely pulled away from the box and the suspension parts were pushing out of the box.
Works great. Helps to stabilize my large toy hauler behind my Ram Truck while traveling. My truck stays level with the heavy load.. Highly recommend.
Product arrived on time. Installation was easier than the video. Only took me 20 minutes.
Every thing I got from you guys is all great . Thanks for checking !!
Shipping was so efficient arrived days before estimated. Order was placed and within an hour was shipped!!!
I needed this product to provide more stability when I am hauling our camper. Installation was fast, and the product is helping as advertised.
Works great. Still looks like new after a year and we use it hard.
super easy to install. I only used the jack to hold the u-bolts in place. Can't wait to put them to use!
The part fit perfect and was installed with no problem installation took 20 minutes
The problem was that the part S had sharp burrs from manufacturing and should have been debuted during installation I got 2 cuts on my hand
