2,000-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. 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. 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.

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we've got John with us from Timbren. He's gonna tell us a little bit more about what separates Timbren from the competitors. I appreciate it, I'm glad to be here. Timbren is a suspension specialist. We're based in Whitby, Ontario, so we are a true manufacturer in Canada and we offer a wide range of suspension products from light duty, from commercial all the way up to Overlander, Sprinter applications and trailers.
Now we've talked about a few of the options you guys have and we have plenty of options on our website. Right. We've got the SES kits. We've got the axle-less suspension. Right.
We've got your new coil inserts that just came out recently. But what would you say is your bread-and-butter at Timbren Yeah, no, our SES, suspension enhancement system, is definitely our bread-and-butter. Came out in 2011, won a SEMA New Product Award for best truck suspension. And really, the evolution you just mentioned here, you know, starting in 1968 all the way through now, 2024. But the SES kits are really the core of who we are.
And if you, if you would say at, in the level of stiffness on the market, what would you, would you put yourself in more in a heavy duty side for the SES kits or is it more of a lighter duty Yeah, great question. Lighter duty, we certainly can have a product for commercial and heavy duty, but in '82 when SES was introduced, it was purposely introduced for that, that light duty market. So we start with 1500 and again, go all the way up, but by far really popular with that 1500, 2500 crowd. That kinda leads me into my next question. So we talked about, your specialty is kind of in the lighter duty, but do you have an option for the heavier duty for your sprinter vans and maybe for your truck bed campers Yeah, absolutely.
We do have SES kits for truck beds, truck campers with a higher center of gravity. That creates a new kind of set of problems with the sway side to side. So we have severe duty kits for those. And it uses a single convoluted AON versus a double convoluted to tackle that problem of side to side. And the same thing with the sprinter van. It uses a rectangular shape Aon, but it's there to do the same deal that side to side sway because they're so top heavy, it'll eliminate that. Okay. And then we've had an instance here at etrailer that we had a van that was very, very heavy on the one side. Is there anything that you guys can do personally to help, I would say, I guess customize that kit for that particular user Yeah, by all means we would want that individual to contact us. We would ask a couple questions, see where that weight is distributed and we can actually produce an AON with either a stiffer hardness or durometer or a softer durometer and that will help level it out. So yes, we can take care of that for 'em. And I think that'll really, really help people to get their rigs dialed in because who knows what they're putting in the campers afterwards, after they buy 'em. They come from the manufacturer already heavy on that side and they're trying to load stuff on the other side to try to even it out. But knowing that there's a solution that you can customize for your rig no matter what the weight is on either side is really, really cool. Yeah, absolutely. We're happy to take care of 'em and again, there's no charge for that. Awesome. Now to kind of wrap things up, what sets Timbren apart from a lot of other manufacturers out there Well, I think there's a couple things. We're a family run company and our longevity, you can't deny, 1968 to 2024 and our warranty, we have a lifetime warranty regardless of how old it is. We will take care of it, replace it, limited lifetime warranty, and the hundred day money back guarantee. Very cool. And that's whether or not you're the first owner Right. And yeah, we're not asking for receipt, who'd you buy it from It'll be taken care of. Just give us a ring and we'll take care of it for you. Very cool. Well thank you again for meeting with us. Appreciate it. It was a pleasure to work with you. Thank you.
Excellent product. 2000 pounds in the box of my F-150, always stable on the
road.
Yes I like them they do a great job and was easily installed directions was easy to follow
This is my second vehicle with the Timbren system. Simple to install and they work Awesome.
These have helped with squat and swaying but definitely rough the ride.
Install was a snap. Works as anticipated. Leveled out our 2014 F-250 very well when loaded vs without.
Pricey, but effective. The ride is unaffected when not towing. While towing, there is a bit more bounce on uneven rough pavement. Great on smooth even pavement.
Easy to install
Very easy to install and they worked as indicated keeping the back of the truck level.
Gave alot better support and ride without having to deal with adding air. Hook and go.
Worked great, easy to install and I no longer get ss much bottoming out...
Easy to install. can haul heavier loads without the rear squat. works great.
The product was very durable and good quality, I didn't need the spacers because without them I had 1" clearance until any weight was placed on the truck. I did have use the longer bolts however to get a strong torque when tightening the rubber spring. NOW THE TEST...I hooked up my 30' trailer using my equalizer 4 point hith, looking under the truck the rubber spring was pressing on the bumper stops just enough to seat firmly. After everything was hooked up, away we went! Test drive.... I must say, the truck and trailer handled great. The truck was not bouncing when driving, it had a solid feel to it. After finding a level street to park on, I got out and looked at the trailer and truck... Perfect! Nice and level.... I hope this helps another person decide the product works. Thanks trailer.

Springs hold up good really helped out with the problem. My F450 squats less than before.
Eliminated rear end sag when towing and also stabilized the rear improving drivability. Highly recommend.
Too stiff of a ride. Felt like an old bouncy truck with a load on. They are sitting on my garage self.
Installed these on 7/6/2018. Install was pretty strait forward. Sure made a difference on the ride height. It is one of our service vehicles that we have, so we shall see if the driver of it notices the difference.
Have installed product on other PU. REALLY ENJOYED ORDERING FROM YOUR WEB SITE. I hate ordering on-line but found your web site a pleasure to deal with. Great Job.
Very easy to install and work great!
Made my 1500 Dodge tow way more stable. took all the sway out of the truck when rolling down the highway
Works like I wanted it to. It does not bottom out like it did before. It stays straight in line with camper.
I love the product, usps keep pushing back my delivery date, so you should give yourself plenty of time ordering them before you need them. Other than that. Awesome.
Easy to install, especially if you remove the tire first. Performance seems to be fine.
Originally placed this order 3/15/22, but at last every thing arrived and fit and functions perfectly. Thanks for your persistence in getting it right
