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

Fantastic. Nothing to leak or tear up



by:

So far so good easy install



by:

I think that they are awful. I was told that I couldn’t return them. Upon me purchasing them you did not have the item I was specifically looking for and I spoke to one of your salesman who recommended these and said they were the same thing. Which they are absolutely not. So I would say I am totally displeased not necessarily for the product but for the lack of knowledge from the salesman don’t really know if the product is in good working condition because it’s not the product I was looking for. So now I’m stuck with something I can’t use.



by:

I have a 1991 Mazda B2600I 4x4. I would give this product a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the fact that it didn't exactly fit my vehicle as advertised. I had to modify things a bit to make it work. Other than that the product preforms as advertised as far as I can tell so far. I haven't really hauled any overly heavy loads yet but I have noticed the difference. Would recommend the product though you may want to call to double check the fit if you have an older make and model.



by:

Quick delivery & excellent product for those 3/4 ton truck owners who wish they purchased a 1 ton instead



by:

Great Product, Easy to install. I haven't pulled my Toyhauler with my 2015 Ram Bighorn yet but they look like they will do the job



by:

Part was reasonably priced and arrived early. Very happy with the process.



by:

Service is great and product appears to function as advertised. For what it is seems like product is priced a little high. I'd be very surprised if it costs more than $20 to make them.



by:

Work good , when pulling my trailer .. would buy again !



by:

Easy to install and effective.



by:

correct parts, easy install



by:

Does not fit on Winnebago Intent, and missing hardware. First of all, you have to move the brake lines, because these will hit right on them. Secondly, I have a Traction bar, and that leaves no room for these springs. They will run into the Trac bar hardware & tear apart. Even without the Trac bar, these are a poor fit at best. Third problem, the lightweight flimsy cardboard box has no hope of holding the heavy parts without tearing or bursting open. Additionally, the small parts (nuts, bolts, washers) are in a VERY thin cheap plastic bag that also has no hope of holding them either. So, like many other customers, several parts were NOT in the box. This is an obvious & foreseeable problem - especially since many other customers have complained about this exact same issue.
The product probably does work well - if it can fit, and if you get all the parts. But don't count on that happening.



by:

This was a great addition to our 2000 f250 super duty pickup. I had looked at airbag systems also. The timbres system looked like it would better suit our needs on this truck. Easy and quick install. Takes the toll out of the truck when pulling the gooseneck horse trailer or the livestock trailer. No air lines or mount issues to deal with during installation ( i.e. gooseneck hitch can be issues with air bag mounts). My wife uses this truck and I did not want her to be a long way from home and have to find parts and r shop to work on an airbag system, Timbren solved that. I would positively recommend them depending on the situation



by:

Don’t know not installed



by:

A little hard-hitting not as cushiony when you go over any bumps.



by:

Just what I needed easy install delivered on time thanks for good products and service



by:

Easy install, great ride with a load.



by:

I normally don't have this problem with you folks but when I looked at the box it looked like it was open and then wrapped up with packing tape, pretty beat up. I am missing all the nuts and bolts that go with this and only received one of the spacers. Is there any way someone can send me my missing nuts and bolts? I am not terribly upset about the missing spacer as luckilly I picked up both the 1 and 1/2 inch spacers separately and those did include the bolts to screw into the bracket.



by:

Easy instillation. Functions great.



by:

Excellent service and pricing. Many tha nks



by:

Great Product built like a Tank



by:

Installed in 15 minutes with jack and block of wo1od to press fit them in to cup.
awesome!



by:

very easy to install, very happy with the amount of weight they can handle. will be buying more.

Shipped quick, product looks sturdy

Fast delivery and easy installation

  • How to Determine If a Spacer is Needed When Installing Timbren Springs on 2022 Ford F-350
    If you're wanting to install the Timbren # TFR350SDJ on your 2022 Ford F-350 then you'll want to measure the distance from where your factory bump stops are installed down to the point of contact on the axle. The Timbren # TFR350SDJ are 7-1/2" tall and according to the manufacturer you need to have 1/2" to 1-1/2" of a gap between the rubber spring and the contact point. If you measure from the place where your OEM bump stop sits down 7-1/2" and the gap that is left is between the 1/2" to...

  • Recommended Timbren Suspension Enhancement for Ford F-350
    Timbren Suspension Enhancement will definitely help with the rear end sag and help you to have a more stable ride. To get the correct fit for your truck, I need to know the model year. For instance if your Ford F-350 is between 2005 and 2016 then I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR350SDF. However, if your truck is a 2017 or 2018, then I recommend # TFR350SDJ. These products work on single rear wheel trucks as well as dually models.

  • SumoSprings or Timbren on a 2020 Ford F-350? Which is Better for a 5th Wheel Trailer?
    I always recommend SumoSprings over Timbrens for any vehicle that is not being used as a work truck. SumoSprings have two mounting points that only come together when a heavy load is placed on them. Timbrens will affect your daily driving and will give your rear end a bouncy stiff feeling when you are not towing. For your 2020 Ford F-350 you will want the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SSR-128-47-2. You will want to confirm your truck has a bump stop perch over the axle....

    Hello David, thanks for reaching out. Yes, the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle # TFR350SDJ will indeed fit the 2026 Ford F350 4x4. Both our site and the Timbren site confirm this. It looks like you were looking at the # TFR250SDJ which are for an F250, so that is why it says they will not fit your F350. I can assure you the # TFR350SDJ will fit your truck and work great though.

    Hi Greg! The # TFR350SDJ is just our part number for the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle FR350SDJ. They are the exact same thing. I see you were looking at this for a 2025 Ford F-350 and I wanted to confirm that it will fit perfectly! Out of curiosity, what are you loading in your bed? This is a pretty heavy duty jounce and is typically used with in bed campers and stuff like that.

  • Recommended Lock for a Gen-Y 5th Wheel Hitch
    Hey Randy congrats on the new trailer. We do not have any coupler locks that fit a Gen-Y Gooseneck Pin Box like item # GY38FR. My only solution to secure your trailer is to use the Rack'Em Lock'em Magnum Wheel Lock item # RA-25. This lock fits 12" - 20" wheels and the rubber-coated arms will not scratch your wheels. I have linked a review video below so you can see the features of this lock demonstrated. What kind of trailer did you get?

  • Why Would Timbren On One Side of Truck be Compressed and Other Not at All
    The unloaded picture of your Timbren setup installed on your truck is concerning. Does the truck seem to sit level from left to right? Was it ever in an accident by chance? Are any of the suspension components worn out? You really shouldn't see that much compression on one side of the truck with that much gap on the other side unless something with the truck is bad.

  • Are SuperSprings SuperSway or Timbren Springs a Better Option 2023 Ford F-350 Dually Reduce Sag?
    The SuperSprings SuperSway Stops # SS65GR are going to be the better option versus the Timbren # TFR350SDJ on your 2023 Ford F-350 Dually with upper overload springs. The Timbren's are designed to leave a 1" gap between the jounce spring and axle. This means you will get 1" of sag before they even begin to work. The SuperSprings are designed to make contact with the upper overload spring at stock height when unloaded. This will better help to reduce sag and the sway you are experiencing.

  • Comparing Timbren FR350SDJ and FRTT350J for 2020 Ford F-350
    The correct Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for a 2020 Ford F-350 is part # TFR350SDJ. The part # TFRTT350J is designed for service body applications. The difference between them is height. The service body version is single convoluted and won't compress as much as the regular version which is double convoluted and will compress more. The more compression you get, the better the ride quality.

The brackets on both of these systems are the same so you can use one on the other but the F-250 kit has a 4-1/2" tall spring whereas the F-350 kit has a 5-3/16" tall spring.
