Reduced axle sag with Timbren suspension enhancement

Just like the rear of your vehicle will sag under the weight of a fully loaded bed, the front of your vehicle will sag when under the burden of heavy equipment such as a snowplow. In this case, the front axle is handling not only the weight of the equipment, but also more of the vehicle's weight. Overall vehicle 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.


Install diagrams of Timbren hollow rubber springs

The Timbren system comes with custom-fit brackets that are bolted onto each frame rail above your front axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket and hang down so that the bottom of each spring touches the axle. Because each spring is making constant contact with the axle, it is always working to cushion and support your factory suspension.


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're carrying off-center loads.

A snowplow mounted to the front of the truck will require extra suspension support for the front axle.

Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System will help raise the front end of your vehicle when you're using heavy equipment like a snowplow. This ensures that your headlight beams will be pointed in the right direction and tire wear will be reduced. If the plow is off-center or has an extension, the springs will automatically compensate for this as well.

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 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 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. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride when loaded or towing because the rubber has more travel.

  • Comparing Front Timbren and SumoSprings for a 2002 Ford F-53 Chassis
    When comparing the ride quality between the Timbren # TFFF53B and SumoSpring # SSF-172-40-2 I recommend going with the SumoSprings. Although Timbren is a very solid product, the SumoSprings have been proven to have more of a forgiving support over the Timbrens. This is supported by great reviews and feedback from customers. For your specific application the SumoSprings are installed so that half of each spring is on the top and the other half is on the bottom so when contact is made it...

  • Air Lift vs Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement for a 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 36E
    Thanks for reaching out James! I recommend using the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs # AL57140 for the front of your 2004 Fleetwood Southwind 36E as opposed to the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B. The Timbrens are nice because you don't have to maintain them after the installation but they tend to be pretty stiff and don't do as good of a job providing actual cushion to the ride quality. The air bags can be adjusted to what you feel is the best ride quality...

  • Recommended Suspension Enahancement For a 2024 Ford F-53
    For your 2024 Ford F-53, I recommend checking out the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B for the front, and the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRF53A for the rear. These kits do not require drilling, will replace your OEM axle bump stops and has a 5,600 lb capacity for the front & a 8,600 lb capacity for the rear.

  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings for a 2018 Ace 30.2 Motorhome
    Yes, the front # TFFF53B Timbren suspension enhancement are similar to the front # SSF-170-40-2 SumoSprings for your 2018 Thor ACE 30.2 Motorhome. Timbren is a little more well-known but we have received feedback from our customers that the SumoSprings offer better ride quality as they aren't as stiff. If you are comparing the rear Timbren # TFRF53A with the rear SuperSprings # SSA41 for the leaf springs then they are comparable when it comes to performance but they work slightly different.

  • Front or Rear Timbrens to Start With on 2006 Motorhome With Ford F-53 Chassis
    That's a good question, and for your 2006 motorhome on a Ford F-53 chassis, the best option to start with is using the Timbrens on the rear of your motorhome: - Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRF53A The reason for that is a motorhome has more bounce/movement at the rear due to the axle placement compared to the front. There is a significant portion of the motorhome that is behind the rear axle compared to the front, and that causes the back end to be less stable overall....

  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement for 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 Motorhome
    The biggest difference between the two for your 2019 Thor ACE 30.2 motorhome, and the reason why I highly recommend the SumoSprings over the Timbren, is what each product is constructed from. The Timbrens are made from a strong, rigid rubber while the SumoSprings are made from microcellular urethane. This is important because it means the SumoSprings will compress more gently, while the Timbrens are known to give a much stiffer ride. The front axle and rear axle fits for your 2019 Thor...

    While both the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B & # TFRF53A and the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs # SSF-170-40-2 & # SSR-180-54-1 are both great solutions for your 2019 Jayco Precept 31UL, there are some differences to take note of. Timbren is a bit more renown in this space and while a very solid product, that strength comes with the tradeoff that the ride quality can be stiff. Made from a rigid rubber construction, it can be less forgiving and this has been...

  • Choosing Between SumoSprings or Timbren for 2013 Fleetwood Storm 32BH
    Although either the # SSR-187-40-1 Sumo Spring or the Timbren # TFRF53A would be a great choice, the Timbren Aeon spring is actually rated higher at 8600 lbs, versus 2600 lbs for the Sumo Springs alternative. Neither of these options will come into play unless the factory suspension gets compressed. If ride quality is the more important consideration, the Sumo Springs option is what I'd recommend as they' give a more supple ride. If reducing roll in the corners is foremost in your mind,...

    I was able to get the measurement you were looking for from the spring to the top of the bracket of the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B. As you can see in the accompanying photo, that length is 7 inches. This is a fit for the front axle of a 2006 Ford F-53 with front leaf springs. If you also wanted the Timbrens for the rear axle the correct fit is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRF53A. Adding the Timbrens to your motorhome will allow for a smoother...

    I have a better solution for you as the Timbren Front # TFFF53B and Rear # TFRF53A will create a very stiff ride for your 2023 Entragra Vision 29S. I feel their jounce springs are great for commercial applications and extreme weights but with the delicate trims and construction of your cabinetry the SumoSprings Front # SSF-170-40-2 and Rear # SSR-184-40-1 are going to be a much better option. These are constructed of a microcellular urethane which is much better at absorbing shock and will...

In this case, your only option for front suspension enhancement is the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System # TFFF53B. There are no SumoSprings that are confirmed to fit.

  • Jounce-Style Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2015 Thor Windsport 34E Motorhome
    For jounce-style suspension enhancement on your 2015 Thor Windsport 34E Motorhome I recommend going with the Timbren options because SuperSprings doesn't have a fit for your motorhome. SumoSprings and Timbrens are essentially the same thing - the only real difference is that Timbren springs tend to have a bit more rigidity which is felt in a lot of passenger vehicles but you shouldn't feel a difference (other than more support) for your Class A motorhome.

This will help with the stability of your coach and act as a shock absorber as well. They help reduce body roll and compensates for off center loads as each spring works independently. At this time, these are the only confirmed fit parts for your 2018 Thor ACE 30.3 motorhome on Ford F53 Chassis.
