A front-mounted plow or heavy bumper can pull the nose of your truck down and throw off how it drives. The Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System adds 6,500 lbs of load-leveling support to keep that front end sitting right where it should. With the ride height steady, your steering stays predictable, and your headlights stay aimed where you need them—no more sagging or bottoming out when the weight goes on.
Hard braking or rough roads can make the front end dive or bounce, especially under load. These hollow Aeon rubber springs react progressively: soft enough to cushion light bumps yet firm when the weight increases. The result is flatter, more controlled braking and a smoother ride that keeps you planted instead of pitching forward every time you stop.
No compressors, no valves, no pressure checks—just a solid setup that’s ready to go every time you start the truck. The self-contained rubber springs work automatically as your suspension compresses, giving you extra support without the hassle of adjustments or leaks. Once installed, there’s nothing more to manage or maintain.
This system bolts directly into the spot where your OEM bump stops sit, so you’re not drilling holes or modifying anything. It’s a straightforward upgrade you can handle with basic tools, perfect for adding front-end support before winter work or heavy hauling days.
Cold mornings, road salt, and constant impact are tough on suspension parts, but these all-weather rubber springs are made for it. They stay flexible in freezing temperatures and resist cracking or corrosion over time. Whether you’re pushing through slush or tackling uneven ground, they keep doing their job season after season without wearing out.

Hi everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Timbren in front suspension enhancement system. Now, this has been designed to fit your 2024 and newer Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra 35 hundreds, both the two and four wheel drive models and on custom fit parts such as this kit. I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you.
So as you know, adding the snow plow or heavy front bumpers can cause your truck to sag in the front, and that's gonna mess up your ride height and visibility. So with a massive 6,500 pound load support rating, this system is going to keep your front end level so your headlights are gonna stay aimed right and your truck drives like it should no matter what's hanging off the front. As you probably already know, hard braking or sudden stops can cause your truck to nose dive, especially under a load. These eon rubber springs have a progressive rate that's going to absorb small bumps, but get firmer under heavier compression, helping keep your truck flat and planted when it counts. So what's nice about this a system like this is you're not gonna have to worry about monitoring air pressure, running lines, or dealing with a compressor.
These rubber springs are solid, they're self-contained and already always ready for you. You're just gonna install these, forget about them, and head on down the road. So these are gonna be perfect if you want added support without adding the complexity under the hood. Another nice thing is you're not gonna have to drill, cut, or modify your suspension on your truck. These springs are going to bolt right into the spot where your bump stops sit.
So that's gonna make upgrade very straightforward on your truck and it's gonna be very easy to get these installed in place for those rough winter jobs or farm duty. Now speaking of winter, if your truck lives in the cold, like road salt slush or sub-zero mornings, then these springs are made to handle that kind of stuff. The rubber construction is always gonna stay flexible in the cold. It's gonna resist cracking and corrosion over time. So whether you're plowing a tight driveway or hauling tools down a back road, extra weight up front can throw off that balance.
But again, these springs are gonna cut down that body roll and front end sway so your steering feels more responsive and the truck is going to track straighter even when fully loaded. Instructions are included to guide you through that pretty simple installation process. Now, as I mentioned, this is going to give you up to 6,500 pounds of load leveling support, but be aware that these do not actually increase your truck's weight carrying capacity. So you wanna make sure that you're not exceeding your manufacturer's recommended weight limit. If you do pick this up, we wanna hear back from you regarding how the installation went and how you enjoy using these so you can share your experiences with us and more by dropping a comment or leaving a review on this product page. And if you have any other additional questions, don't hesitate to reach out to us via phone, email, or chat. We wanna make sure that you're getting exactly what you want and need. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me.

I like using Etrailer because i can call and talk to a person. These front ones went in pretty easy just like directions said. and they got rid of the bad bumping sound in my front end after hitting a bump. smoothed things right out.
A+++ Excellent product and customer service. Bought both front and rear suspension enhancements and worth it. Highly recommend.
I have a very heavy "Cattle Guard" on the front of my RAM 3500 and this combined with the heavy 4WD and diesel engine the extra support from the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System definitely keeps the front suspension from bottoming out.
Have them on several trucks now and couldn't imagine running snow plows without anymore.
Ok it’s been a year since I’ve had the springs and I’m impressed. With how easy the install is and what you get out of it these are truly amazing. No more “squishy” feeling when towing my 22fy travel trailer. The ride is a little bumpy but I don’t care. I’m glad I found these.
The front Timbren are working very good.The rear not so good
The timbrens actually did what they were suppose to do. However, once I starter driving out west I notice the timbrens were riding on the axle which cause the speedometer to jump around depending on the road. I would recommend them if you are hauling or towing a camper or RV. I was going to contact etrailer about maybe removing a spacer for one set however the other set came as one unit. The bottom line is the Timbrens does stabilize your load for safe travels. I will be contacting etrailer soon to assist in correcting the problem...Road trip from Idaho,Colorado,Wyoming,and Utah were beautiful... Thank you etrailer
I had a problem with getting front sumo springs relative to the rear sumo springs I purchased earlier; however, the staff at etrailer were very helpful in getting me a suspension enhancement component made by timbren which I just installed. I believe the timbren supports are going to do the job I was looking for and make me just as happy as I am with the rear sumo springs. You will notice from the photos the supports make direct contact; however, the pictures were taken on a unlevel surface and when the truck is on a level surface the direct contact is equal on either side. Also, the timbren supports provide substantially more weight capacity in the event I choose to haul my scooter on the front end of the truck. Thanks again Derek S and etrailer staff I am very pleased with the service, customer relations and professionalism experienced when ordering my parts. Thank you, Bobby (Louisiana).
Install was straightforward. Hardest part was getting the old bump stops out. Sway was greatly reduced on the Interstate and the rock and roll by passing semis was greatly reduced. Wish I had bought these sooner!
These bumpstops really work, they stop the front end vibration before it travels through the shocks and springs, for a smooth ride
Pretty pricey but well worth it. Put these all the way around at the same time as new rear leaf springs on our c7500 topkick and it made a huge difference. It's a top heavy bucket truck and it would rock and roll just turning a corner to the point it was downright scary. Now thats greatly reduced. They also smoothed out the ride especially when loaded more than I expected.
Install was simple, perfect fit. Worst part was grinding out the rivet on the old bracket
I haven/t installed them yet. I think I should have gotten a discount for the age of the "box"s the Timbrens were in. May be a credit ,, Brad
I watched installation videos for my FFF 53 Timbren suspension parts three times to familiarize myself with what I was going to be doing. This did help. I would say you need a little bit of experience in working on cars or trucks. This is a straightforward job with no fabricating needed. The hardware was correct. The instructions were correct. The parts fit great. I did this installation by myself. Another set of hands wouldn’t hurt but not necessary. If you’re on the fence on buying parts from Timbren, I would say go ahead and place your order.
Super simple installation that took about 20 minutes. These made a HUGE improvement on steering control and bounce. Driving on the freeway is a breeze. I highly recommend this product.
It good but one side with no bump had to be put spacer but the spacer was flat so the bolt did not have a lot of thread so I grind the spacer a bit so it could stay flush otherwise this might solve the problem of outter tire wear that ford transit has will find out soon
Installation was not too hard, Install Videos explain all steps in great detail. BumpStops arrived in excellent condition and was delivered in a timely manner
Easy install, didn't even need the brackets for my application. Really helped with sidesway in the wind and seems to help the front from dipping with extra weight. Haven't tried plowing snow yet but I think they will make a major difference
I installed Timbren’s front and rear on my 2020 F53 chassis motorhome. They are by far the best suspension upgrade I have done. I had previously installed Super Steer Trac Bar, Radius Rods and Safe-T-Plus, which had helped, but not as much as I had hoped. The Timbren’s finalized the package and it drives good now.
For me surprisingly easy to install at 67 years old. Had immediate handling improvement and steering control.
I love these things. They are worth the upfront expense. I have them on two ¾'s, one ½, and a minivan for road trips. This particular set is full-time active up front. I have a 2" leveling kit and I'm in em no matter what. Zero complaints though. Solid performance through all aspects. I don't run any front-end attachments.
I have a 2006 Kodiak 2 wheel drive. Timbrin firmed up the front end to much. There in full contact with the spring. I think it to stuff and I might be removing them. The install was straight forward. Parts are as expected and quality of Timbrin is great. Just not enough cush..
I would say that the product is a bit pricey for what it contains. The secondary bolts came with the wrong sized nuts. Other than that, they work well to support the suspension.
Great ordering, shipping time, cost, and supporting information. We added a snow plow and the product did everything as advertised.
I went with the gmfk25d because I needed 4 and for some reason the listing said gmfk25e but the gmfk25d was the correct kit for my 2025 3500hd double cab single rear wheel silverado.
etrailer has absolutely outperformed all other accessory companies out there delivery is superb,quality of products is superb, and the ordering process is second to none thank you for all you do
