Arrives before Christmas To see if this custom-fit item will work for you please tell us what vehicle you'll use it with.
3,000-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 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'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.

Today, we're going to take a look at the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System. This is a custom fit part. It is designed to fit the 1988 to 1999 Chevrolet and GMC C- and K- Series Pick Up Trucks 1500 Site 00:00:11 Series and also the 1988 to 2000 Chevrolet and GMC C- and K- Series Pick Ups 2500 Series. On any custom fit part, I always like to recommend to go to our website. Use our fit guide. Put in your year and model vehicle and it will show you if this will work for your application.
This part will improve your suspension, handling and safety of your vehicle. It does provide additional support as needed, so you'll always have a nice, smooth, comfortable ride. It will allow release for an ample movement while cushioning any light loads, and it will not affect the empty ride of the vehicle. These springs will become more rigid as more weight is added. It will give increased stability, provides performance while hauling heavy loads, and it will help reduce vehicle sag. They do work independently side to side because it will help compensate for off center loads, and it will reduce body roll when swerving or turning corners.
They will also act as shock absorbers taking the brunt of bumps and rough roads, and they will help extend the life of your vehicle suspension. This part will include everything shown here on the table. It includes these two Aeon hollow rubber springs, the vehicle specific brackets and spacers. The hardware for installation and a nice set of detailed instructions. When you do install these they will replace the axle bump stops on the frame. There is no drilling required when installing these.
The weight capacity is 3,000 pounds. You do want to make sure you do not exceed your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. This part is designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order. That should do it for the review on the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System.
Works great, easy install
Worked excellent for trailering.
So far so good works great, now let's see how long they last?
Would be great to have better instructions and car specific.
Fast delivery and easy installation
I actually found that airbags worked better for my truck and trailer. I ordered those from you as well. May I return the Timbrens for at least partial store credit?
Works great will never have air bags ag ain
I have not fully loaded my Odyssey yet BUT compare to original “pacifiers” which are made from kinda tough popcorn, those timbers are looking reliable.
Easy installation. Good quality.
Installed this on my 2001 Explorer. Install is easy (assemble unit, bolt on in place of existing bump stop). Annoyed to find it doesn't fit. Specs are gap 1/2"-1-1/2"; there was a gap of 2-3/4". Yeah, they sell spacers for $27 each, but it's really annoying to buy a $225 product that says it fits your truck, only to find that you have to spend 50% more to actually adapt it to your truck!
I’ve ordered a lot of things from this company over the years and they are always very helpful and very prompt the timbren suspension blocks have always worked great for me I’ve bought many sets over the years very easy to install
Easy to install. Works as advertised. Etrailer rocks!
Very easy to install. I got the product in two days. Love etrailer products. THANKS.
Very easy to install took about 30 minutes. If it manages the weight of my trailer I will be more impressed with your product.
Very easy installation!

Fast shipping would definitely recommend
Customer service was great. Fast delivery. Very easy to install. 35 minutes it was done.
Easy installation and perfect fit!
Very quick delivery, earlier than I expected. Easy to install. Just what was needed for rear weight support when pulling a trailer.
Install was a breeze, can't wait to tow our camper with these babies on the Tundra
Very poor packaging. The box is coming apart and USPS reinforced it. Found out this product doesn,t work on a 2018 Winnebago Intent. It will cost me almost $[XX] to return it.
easy to install, Solved my trailer bouncing over bumps problem.
Great job. Will use etrailer again.
Great product there leveled the load and made tow way better.
Thanks
