8,600-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.
had these on my old truck. i liked the way it kept the truck mostly level when hauling firewood and gravel. think it helped with the handling also
Mount them and forget them. There set no adding or releasing air.
After installing these, which were very easy, I found they made a huge difference when towing my 30 foot rv.
I'm very pleased with the functionality of these. I pull a camper that pushes the limits of my Silverado and these really helped control the overall handling. They were also very easy to install. Kudos Timbren!
makes truck very stable I have them on two of my vans. Very,very good product. Thanks
Great product, keeps the rear of truck flatter during turns and prevents sagging from heavy loads. Easy install and great ride
.
Easy fit up and perfect ride you need these if you have any squat to your truck makes a big difference
I have not tried it yet but I disappointed about the shipping it came all way on UPS on the last day it was in town and the day it came out by USPS
Installed them a year ago and they still perform well.
Product was great and easy to install. It took about 30 minutes to take the originals out and put in the new one.
It was very easy to install and it works flawless. Great product!
So far the units are working as advertised. It was a little confusing as it was not clear which brace went on what side and what way they faced. The were easy enough to put on even in a rain storm, Real test will be when I pull my RV.
8.5' camper on a Ram 2500 Timbrens handle the load excellent
Works as advertised, simple to install, would buy again!
They are wonderful when towing or hauling heavy loads. However under normal driving you do definitely feel them hit whenever you drive over a large dip or pothole.
Does exactly what it’s designed to do! Have had no issues at all.
perfect parts and fit! quick shipping as well!!
Installed quickly, worked as described. Really helped dial in my towing setup on my F150 SuperCrew with FX4.
This is the third vehicle I have installed these on and I have been impressed with the performance of them all....no change in unloaded ride and loaded ride it more stable than before. I recommend this for every truck owner.
Happy with this product. Nearly got my rig dialed in now.
Works perfect! Gives you the extra little support you need!
Easy to install and held up the pickup well pulling a 19' Lund boat!!
Eliminated the rear end sagging problem on my sequoia when towing
