Highlights

  • Custom Fit for Your Vehicle: Mounts to existing attachment points

  • Quick Bolt-On Setup: Replaces factory bump stops with custom brackets—no drilling required.

Features to know about

Stay Level Under Heavy Loads: 7,000-lb Rear Suspension Support

When the bed is packed or the trailer tongue is heavy, the rear end can sag and throw off handling. This Severe Service Timbren Suspension Enhancement System adds up to 7,000 lbs of extra support above the rear axle. The hollow rubber springs sit 1" above the axle, letting your stock suspension work normally when unloaded but stepping in when weight builds. The progressive design gets stiffer as it compresses, keeping your truck level and steering steady no matter how much you’re hauling.

Smooth Out Rough Roads: Hollow Rubber Springs That Absorb Shock

Bumps, potholes, and uneven roads can beat up both you and your suspension. The Aeon hollow rubber springs in this kit act like heavy-duty cushions that take the brunt of road shock. They absorb impact instead of passing it to the chassis, creating a smoother, more stable ride when loaded. By preventing bottoming out on rough roads, they also help extend the life of your factory suspension components.

Stay Steady in Crosswinds and Turns: Independent Spring Action

When a curve or gust tries to push you around, each Timbren spring works independently to keep its side level. That reduces body roll and sway when cornering or swerving, and helps control trailer movement when wind or passing traffic starts it rocking. The added stability helps the trailer stay in line and makes highway towing feel more confident and controlled.

Keep Installation Simple: Bolt-On Brackets With No Drilling

Upgrading your suspension doesn’t have to mean major fabrication. The kit comes with custom-fit brackets and hardware that bolt directly onto each frame rail above the rear axle—no drilling required. Once installed, there are no air lines, compressors, or gauges to manage. The system simply replaces your factory bump stops for a clean, dependable setup built for heavy hauling or work duty.

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.

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

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

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



by:

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.

Rather stiff now but great for traileri ng.

Arrived a day early, and everything looks to be in perfect order. Will be installing these on my 2014 F-150 SCrew over the weekend. Looking forward to seeing how they perform.

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:

Fast shipping looks like everything is here, Packaged very well. will install next couple days. no problems so far.



by:

works better the air shocks



by:

I got these for my 2015 f150, my truck doesn't sag anymore when I have my trailer hooked up.



by:

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.

by:

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:

Ezy pezy Worked great



by:

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.



by:

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.



by:

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.

Still working the same as new. Towed 6500 lbs. and truck set normal. Still a great product. Thanks again!

Fits perfectly and installation took less than 15 min.



by:

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.



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:

My order arrived yesterday. Then this comes; another email asking for a 5-star review. I opened the link while thinking that what would really be nice is if they sent instructions. And behold, there it is- instructions and a video. I’m shamed and amazed. Thank you, eTrailer.



by:

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:

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.

  • 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.

  • 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...

  • Compatibility of Firestone Ride-Rite # F2525 Air Springs w/ Curt 5th Wheel Install Kit # C16300
    According to my Firestone representative, the # F2525 kit you have is not compatible with a fifth wheel bracket kit. As you can see in the photo I've provided, the # F2525 attaches to the outboard side of the frame members, which is the same footprint where the fifth wheel brackets would install. There are two alternatives. The least expensive option would be the Timbren # TFRTT1502D which you didn't seem really thrilled about. The other option would be to remove your existing # F2525...

  • 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...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Sway After Installing Timbren Suspension Enhancement on 2015 Ford F-150
    If you are getting constant sway on your trailer the solution is most likely to address the way the trailer is loaded. The persistent sway you are describing is almost always caused by not having enough trailer tongue weight. 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...

  • Fifth Wheel Hitch Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-150 Short Bed
    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...

    There are several Timbren rear-axle suspension helper spring kits for your 2006 F-150, shown on the linked page, that offer either 6000-lbs of combined load support or 7000-lbs of load support as with the kit # TFRTT1502D that you referenced. This specific kit is designed expressly for heavy-duty 2WD "severe service" vehicles like tow trucks and also vehicles that carry heavy loads. 4WD trucks use kit # TFRTT150D.

  • 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.

  • Can Lippert Road Armor Cushioned Equalizers Be Used On 32' 14000lb Hot Shot Trailer?
    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. These equalizers are made for 3500-8000lb axles so they will work just fine on your trailer with a 14000lb rating. To make sure that these equalizers will fit your trailer you will...

    When choosing between the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFRTT1502D and the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR1504D for your application the heavier Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR1504D will be the way to go.

  • Helper Springs for a 2014 Ford F-150 with Full Truck Bed and towing 7,000 Pound Trailer
    Even with the bed on your 2014 Ford F-150 loaded and towing a 7,000 pound trailer the weight on the actual rear axle of the truck is still well under 6,000 pounds so going with the 6K rated Timbren springs, # TFR1504D for 4x4s or # TFR1502D for 2-wheel drive models will work well. The 7K kits are designed for severe service vehicles only.

  • Should Spacer of Timbren Kit be Used with 2006 Ford F-150 TFRTT1502D
    Based on what you have in the bed of your truck I would recommend going ahead and using the spacer that comes with the Timbren kit part # TFRTT1502D. If you find the ride quality too harsh you could try pulling it out but I think you'll prefer the additional support.

  • Should Suspension Be Enhanced On 2013 Ford F-150 With Weight Distribution To Reduce Sag
    It sounds like the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution system you have installed may not be set up properly. If you are not exceeding the weight capacity of the system or vehicle, the system when set up correctly should take care of the squat you said you have. If the squat is caused by a heavy load in the back of your truck then the Timbren system would work well for you. I recommend part # TFRTT1502D. This provides additional support when weight is added to the back of the truck and does...

  • 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.

  • Troubleshooting Installation of Timbren Spacers Causing Additional Trailer Sway
    Since it sounds like you have not adjusted your weight distribution hitch yet I would definitely start there. Any time you add something like the # TFRTT1502D, or alter it with spacers, you want to adjust your WDH accordingly. After making the adjustments I would see how it does. Your tongue weight shouldn't be altered by the addition of the spacers but it probably made a difference if you're riding higher. Realistically, a properly rated and adjust WDH should remove any sag from your...

  • Will Timbren Helper Springs Fit a 2014 Ford F-150 with Front 2 Inch Leveling Kit
    Yes, you can still use Timbren helper springs # TFRTT1502D on your 2014 Ford F-150 with a 2 inch front leveling kit installed. There will likely be little to no impact on the rear suspension travel meaning the Timbren springs will engage when they should. I have linked a video review of this kit for you.

  • What is Overall Height of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT1502D
    The total height of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT1502D that you referenced when installed is 7-1/2 inches. This is the height of the of the kit from where it would attach to your truck frame down to the lowest point. This is also a confirmed fit for your 2013 Ford F-150 2WD short bed as well.

    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.

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Work With Installed Fifth Wheel On 2014 Ford F-150

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.

  • 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.

This system does not affect the ride of your truck when you are not towing but as more weight is added helps to cushion the load and provide additional support. No drilling is required for installation and it has a capacity of 6,000-lbs. This will not increase the weight capacity...

    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.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2009 F-150 Pulling an 8,000 Pound Trailer
    Though I do have another option available, the Timbren # TFRTT1502D will be a bit too heavy duty for what you are needing it for. There are a few caveats for what the Firestone # F2525 will fit, but as long as you do not have the following things, I highly suggest going with it due to the adjustability. That being said, this will not fit with in-bed hitch as it mounts in same location as hitch brackets. It is also not intended for FX2 or Raptor models.
