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.

Product arrived right on time. Installation was easy. Product was of excellent quality and just as advertised by etrailer. Timbren rear suspension enhancement system. I pull a 32' fifth wheel.

2013 Ford F-150

Yet another great experience with etrailer! Product arrived in time and good packaging. The timbren springs work great to keep my truck level when hauling my gooseneck and tractor!



by:

Easy to put on .took me about 35 mins for both sides. I pulled my RV same day and worked like a champ. The factory parts on my F 150 were a joke. Also hardly any rear squating ,my truck stayed level and the ride was 100% better.



by:

Easy to use and to attach to the frame.Holds up well to heavy loads.

2012 Jayco Eagle

I have a Half-Ton Jayco Eagle Lite 5th wheel. My brother installed Timbren SES on his truck and with his encouragement, I purchased a Timbren SES from eTrailer. It took only 20 minutes per side to install. Before Timbren, my truck suspension would lower 2-3 inches with the 5th wheel. After Timbren, my vehicle is perfectly level at all times, the ride is very smooth. I strongly recommend this product to anyone that needs to enhance their vehicles' rear suspension. A great product. My only regret is that I did not make this investment sooner!!!

I have towed my 5th wheel several thousand miles over the past year since installing the Timbren SES purchased from eTrailer. Not only have I been very pleased with this product but have shared the plus features and good news of this product with many other half-ton towers.

Great product, ordered these for my F-150 and was upgraded to express shipping. Received product in 4 days and took me a total of 20 minutes to install on both sides. Truck does not squat at all when it comes in contact with the springs now. Still have the smooth ride when not towing, towed my trailer with 4800lbs with no problem. Thanks for a great product.

2007 Ford F-150

Easy install in my 2007 2wd F150. pulled a 4800 pound 26 foot travel trailer 200 miles the next day with no issues. Along with adding a load leveling hitch, I couldn't ask for better upgrades for this truck. My wife couldn't feel any buffeting when tractor trailers passed, and we pulled at 60 to 65 mph.

2013 Ford F-150

Springs were EXTREMELY easy to install, no more than 30 minutes total. Pulled a rental camper up north and had some squat and sway issues, even with load distribution hitch.

Ordered the springs and had them shipped to the campground, installed them on site. Should be a good comparison how the camper handles on the way home!

So far, very impressed.

Awesome product , makes my truck ride kinda stiff when the weather gets colder in Northern Indiana , But really works better that air bags when I tow my Trailer .



by:
2012 Ford F-150

I like them well enough, but my wife had complained that the ride was too rough after. I removed the spacer and it seems to drive better in town. I haven’t towed my trailer yet, but it was very nice when I had the spacer in last summer.

Installed in about 30 minutes used a lift without any issues. Have towed my 32 travel trailer over 4000 miles and performs great. The truck is solid when under a load and no difference than stock when not.



by:
2014 Ford F-150

The product came in 3 days as I picked. It came in nice box and packed well. First inspection of the product is exactly what I wanted. Will be installing today and towing my travel trailer soon so I will leave a future comment.



by:

Rather stiff now but great for traileri ng.



by:

Have them in the front and rear and work great! The rides a bit rougher but does the job I bought them for!

Has eliminated the bouncing previously experienced during highway travel. Easy to install and a simple solution. +++

Excellent for towing , not smooth driving without a load .

I didn't like the ride after installing. The ride was so bouncy I had to remove again.

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Work With Installed Fifth Wheel On 2014 Ford F-150
    The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TFRTT1502D installs on the bottoms and inside of the frames. If you look at the installation of the fifth wheel on your F-150, you will be able to see if there would be interference. Installation of a suspension enhancement like # TFRTT1502D is intended to work with a system that is in good working order and will not increase the weight capacity of the vehicle.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2013 Ford F-150 Towing Travel Trailer
    Timbrens are great suspension enhancement options for reducing sag when towing, but the part # TFRTT1502D that you referenced is going to be too harsh as it is a designed for severe duty applications. The part # TUR100 is going to be best option. It will give you the support you want and won't give you a super harsh unloaded ride quality.

  • Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Recommendation for 2015 Ford F-150 Stock Height
    Thanks for the picture of your truck! Looks very clean! I can tell by the picture that you do not have a 4 inch lift and that you have the standard suspension height. That means that you would need the part # TFRTT1502D which would give you additional suspension support.

    I reached out to my contact at Lippert and she mentioned there would be no issues using the Road Armor Shock Absorbing Equalizers # LC696740 on a trailer used as much as yours, and that since adding them would relieve stress on your axles and other suspension components it would be a good investment for you.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F-150 Towing a Horse Trailer
    The Timbren suspension enhancement system # TFRTT1502D is designed for service vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances, utility trucks) but not regular trucks. For your 2010 Ford F-150 you would want to go with the 6K system # TFR1502D that you referenced. It will work well with your horse trailer. Even though the trailer is more than the 6K capacity of the system, the tongue weight of the trailer that pulls the truck down is much less so the system will be very effective.

    You found the correct part; the Timbren # TFR1504D are the springs you're looking for and are a confirmed fit on your 2014 Ford F-150. The Timbren # TFR1504D-P3 is designed for an F-150 with a 4"+ lift and the # TFRTT1502D is designed for service type vehicles (like a tow truck), so they're not the correct option for your truck.

  • Timbren System or a Weight Distribution System for Towing a 6,000 lb Trailer
    Adding a Timbren system like the part # TFRTT1502D definitely would help, but it would not be an adequate replacement for your weight distributions system. Your weight distribution system distributes the tongue weight of your trailer to your front axles as well which provides you with a much safer towing setup by improving braking and handling. A Timbren system is mainly designed for vehicles with that are carrying a heavy load in the bed of their truck. For trailering applications a weight...

  • Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2013 Ford F-150 Towing 8500 lb Trailer
    Actually for towing a trailer as heavy as yours I have a better solution than suspension enhancement. Instead you would want a weight distribution system. Not only will weight distribution help prevent rear suspension sag like the suspension enhancement, but it will also move part of the tongue weight of the trailer up to the front axle of the trailer which will help with braking and handling unlike suspension enhancement. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base...

  • Best Suspension Support for 2008 Ford F-150
    The RAS systems are the best options for suspension support. They give you adjustable suspension support that's easier to install, less maintenance, and unlike other options actually improves ride quality instead of diminishing it. So for your 2008 Ford F-150 you'd want the part # RAS3612 and you'd be set.

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement for 2007 Ford -150 with 3 inch Lift
    If the 3 inch lift added 3 inches to the distance between your frame rails and your axle you'd need to use 3 1-inch spacers with the Timbren kit part # TFRTT1502D on your 2007 Ford F-150. For that you'd need the part # A25723-90AH00. You'd need a total of 6 of these and you'd need to supply bolts that are 3 inches longer. If instead you have a 3 inch body lift and the suspension didn't change then you wouldn't need the spacer.

  • Choosing Firestone or Timbren Suspension System for Towing 3-Horse Trailer
    Given the choice between the Timbren system ( # TFRTT1502D for 2wd or # TFR150D for 4wd models) or the Firestone # F2350, I'd choose the Timbrens because although the springs won't have any effect on the vehicle ride when there isn't load being applied, they'll get progressively stiffer as more weight is added. The Timbrens have a 6K capacity, but you'll be limited by the payload capacity of your truck. The Firestone springs don't carry a weight capacity, per my contact at Firestone. If...

    The 2014 Ford F-150 5.0 V8 will work for you to pull that trailer. Based on my research, the maximum towing capacity for the F-150 varies depending on the cab and bed styles. However, I found that even the cab and bed with the lowest maximum towing capacity for the 5.0L V8 with 3.55 rear axle will still pull up to 12,900 pounds, approximately 2,000 pounds more than your trailer's weight. Since the truck has a 6.5 foot bed, we strongly recommend using a sliding fifth wheel hitch because...

These jounce-style springs will provide additional support for your truck and take the brunt of bumps and rough roads.

You need to have your tongue weight between 10 and 15 percent of the total trailer weight to be prevent the type of sway you are experiencing. Other possible issues is that the trailer isn't sitting level enough. You might have your trailer sitting nose high now with...
