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. 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 because the rubber has more travel.

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System work on Lifted 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
    Installing a Timbren Suspension Enhancement System is a great way to stabilize and level your 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 and also provide a more comfortable ride when carrying heavier loads. For the rear axle, I recommend the Timbren # TDR2500CA. This system has a 6,000 pound capacity and is confirmed to fit your Ram Pickup. This kit does come with two, 1 inch spacers that can be used if necessary. Since you have a 2.5-3 inch lift, you may need more depending on your normal vehicle load....

  • Which Timbren Rear Axle Suspension Kit Fits 2014 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie With HD Rear Coil Springs
    The Timbren Rear Axle Suspension Kit you referenced, part # TDR2500CA, does not come up in our fit guide for your 2014 Ram 2500 Laramie. This kit is specified for Ram 2500s up through the 2013 model year. According to my contact at Timbren the correct kit for your 2500 Laramie is their new kit # TDR2500D. If your application is for a constant load (a camper or welder in the truck at all times) then you could use the # T94VR.

  • Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System for a 2012 Ram 2WD Regular Cab
    If your 2012 Ram is a 1500 model, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement, # TDR1500DS. These springs have a 6,000 lb weight capacity and can be installed on trucks with or without overload springs and you do not need to install spacers. The weight capacity of these springs is more than enough to support your veterinary box in your bed. These springs work well with consistent loads. The Timbren springs, # TDR1500DQ, that you referenced were designed for the crew and quad cab...

  • Which Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 2WD
    Mega Cab is how Dodge/Ram refers to its largest 4 door cab. Because the bed is different, certain accessories won't work with the Mega Cab vehicles. All this can get pretty confusing. For a 1500 series Mega Cab 2 WD, you'd use part # TDR2500CA For a 1500 series Crew Cab or Quad Cab 2 WD, you'd use part # TDR1525H4 I've provided you with a photo showing the different cab sizes, hopefully that will make things a bit clearer for you. I'm sorry for the confusion.

  • Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement for my 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup
    Thanks for providing pictures! The part you referenced, # SSC-22, will fit your 2006 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 or 3500 but not a 1500. These are heavy-duty coil springs and will replace your OEM coil springs for better suspension support. Since you will be pulling an RV camper, I would recommend the Timbren rear vehicle suspension # TDR2500CA. It will work with 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD & 4WD. Because the Dodge Ram pickup handles better with the springs, less turbulence will be passed along...

  • Comparing The Air Lift LoadLifter vs Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Systems
    For your 2012 Ram 2500, you are correct that either suspension enhancement system will work. However there are major differences between them functionally. The Timbren system # TDR2500CA is a very solid jounce spring. It is a strong Aeon hollow rubber spring that is a very easy installation. It is not adjustable, and there is no maintenance. The only down side to these is that they can engage on large bumps when the truck is unloaded. This gives you a decent kick because the springs...

  • Can Weight Distribution System and Timbren Suspension Enhancement Work Together on 2012 Ram 2500
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500CA that fits your 2012 Ram 2500 and a weight distribution system, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-1000, provide different benefits to your truck, and using both is a good idea based on how you described using your Ram. Since you use your truck to haul loads and not just tow, the Timbrens are going to offer your Ram's suspension the necessary support compared to hauling those loads without the Timbren's.

  • Cost Effective Way to Remove Sag from 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Towing Fifth Wheel Trailer
    The Timbren kit part # TDC2500CA that you referenced would be exactly what I would recommend for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. This is the most cost effective priced option that also will easily get rid of the sag you are experiencing. It's also one of the easiest to install kits available and a solution that we have seen work really well over the years for people towing like you. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

  • What Size Are The Bolts Used To Install Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement TDR2500CA?
    The bolts used to secure the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TDR2500CA to your 2010 Dodge Ram 2500 are 3/8" UNC (Unified Course Pitch Threads) that are Grade 5. You will be able to find the shorter bolts from a local hardware store, just make sure you get either grade 5 or grade 8 bolts. I included a video of the # TDR2500CA for you to take a look at.

  • Recommendation for Suspesion Enhancement Compatible with a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, 2006 Dodge Ram
    In order to determine if the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, # TDR2500CA, and the B and W gooseneck hitch you have installed will interfere with each other, you will need to take a look at the installation details, linked below, and the video showing installation on a similar truck to see if any of the same attachment points are used. Based on the video and instructions, to me it seems unlikely but possible that the two will interfere with each other. Also, these springs are designed for the...

  • Fifth Wheel Trailer Hitch and Suspension Enhancement for a 2012 Dodge Ram SLT Crew Cab Short Bed
    For a 5th wheel hitch I recommend going with a 16K Reese round tube slider, # RP30075. The round tube slider offers the most travel, 12 inches, for more clearance when making tight turns. For an installation kit, you can use # RP30035-186. The Firestone air spring system, # F2299, that you referenced installs on the bottom and inside of the frame rails, so there should be no interference issues with a 5th wheel installation kit.

  • Suspension Enhancement that Wont Interfere with Off-Road Articulation 2013 Ram Powerwagon
    Timbrens add quite a bit of suspension support to the vehicle. If you want your rear end to articulate a lot these honestly would interfere with that. This is designed to give more suspension support to a truck when towing and aren't ideal for off road applications. If you did need support when towing or carrying a lot of weight in the bed of the truck but also want the support to "go away" when you off-roading you'd want an air bag kit like the part # F2299 which allow you to control...

Instead you will need the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500CA which is confirmed to fit your truck and has the same 6000lb load rating.

    In your case I really like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # T94VR these have the 8K capacity which will help to take a lot of the stress and strain off of that rear suspension set up. Towing 10-14k can cause wear issues relatively quickly and these will do a great job reducing that drastically for you. If you were in the 5-10k or lower towing range I would lean to the lighter versions part # TDR2500CA these also do a great job of taking the abuse so the suspension...

However, if you have the mega cab model then you would want part # TDR2500CA.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement to Improve Ride and Sag on 2012 Ram 2500
    Since one of your goals is to reduce sag I suggest the Timbren system. The TorkLift StableLoad # TLA7311 is mainly for creating smoother ride and to avoid sway and body roll. The Timbren springs will help with sag while towing and won't affect the ride of your 2012 Ram 2500 when it's not loaded. They become more rigid as the load increases to help prevent the truck from sagging. They also work independently to help with uneven loads that improves the overall ride and helps body roll,...

    I really like the Timbrens and they have a better warranty than the SumoSprings so for your 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 the part # TDR2500CA would be a great option. If the leveling kit you have was a body lift you would be fine with just the Timbren. If instead it is a suspension lift you would want the # A25723-90AH00 for inch of a lift that you have. So you would need a total of 4 of these.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for 2007 Ram 1500 To Reduce Rear Sag
    Timbren jounce springs are a great option for your 2007 Ram 1500 with a little rear sag when towing. They are designed to give additional support by becoming more rigid as more weight is added. This means the empty ride of the vehicle shouldn't be impacted but the ride under load will reduce sag, increase stability and reduce body roll. If you have a mega cab model you will want # TDR2500CA designed specifically for that model. If you have any other model, then you instead will use...

  • Does Timbren Kit for 2004 Dodge Ram Increase Towing Capacity
    The Timbren kit part # TDR2500CA which you referenced has a capacity of 6,000 lbs as a pair. They are not rated at 6,000 lbs per spring. This does not increase your truck's overall towing capacity. Basically it gives you more suspension support to allow you to carry the capacity of your truck in a safer way. Towing capacities are more than just suspension. You also have to consider the engine's power, transmission strength, frame strength, braking power etc.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement Product for 2006 Ram 2500 Carrying Small Slide In Camper
    For a Timbren suspension solution for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 4x4, I'd recommend going with the lower-rated # TDR2500CA which will provide the proper support for up to 6000 lbs. The heavier-duty # T94VR is more intended for use on severe service vehicles such as tow trucks and ambulances. I'm certain that you wouldn't be pleased with the rough ride you would experience with the higher-rated Timbren product. As an alternative, I believe you'd be happier using the # SSR-302-54 which provides...
