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.

  • Can a Weight Distribution Hitch Be Used with a 2012 Honda Pilot
    Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out! Your 2012 Honda Pilot has a unibody frame and according to page 544 of your owner's manual Honda doesn't recommend you use on either. Since this is the case, I recommend installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # THROD2 as an alternative way to help out with any sag you might get from trailer towing.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Honda Odyssey
    For a trailer hitch for your 2015 Honda Odyssey we'd recommend the Draw Tite part # 75270 which is a confirmed fit and is a 2 inch hitch and has plenty of towing capacity for towing. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118521 which is a confirmed fit as well and is the most reliable option we have. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested...

  • Weight Distribution System with Sway Control Recommendation for 2,200 Camper Trailer
    For a weight distribution system that will work with your Curt hitch part # C13068 that you have installed on your 2007 Honda Odyssey I would recommend the Reese Strait-Line part # RP66082 as it has a tongue weight range of 200-600 lbs which will work well with the weight of your trailer and features the best sway control on the market that works to fight sway before it starts. What's also nice about this system is that it uses trunnion style spring bars which will help with ground clearance...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2008 Honda Odyssey for Motorcycle Carrier
    With a hitch installed like the Draw Tite part # 75270 installed on your 2008 Honda Odyssey you would be able to install and use a motorcycle carrier like the part # e98873. This hitch has more than enough capacity so it would be a great option. Suspension enhancement like the part # THROD2 would be a great option to help support the rear suspension.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2015 Honda Pilot AWD
    If it really feels like your front wheels aren't making good contact with the road you are in a dangerous situation. That would mean that in an emergency you wouldn't be able to stop or turn quickly. I looked up the towing capacity of your vehicle and it could be between 2,000 and 4,500 lbs. First thing you need to do is verify that you are not exceeding your capacity.

  • 2017 Honda Odyssey Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation
    Best solution we have would be rear suspension enhancement for your 2017 Honda Odyssey. We have the Air Lift kit part # AL60815 which basically allows you to add air pressure to increase the suspension support as needed. Or we have the Timbren kit part # THROD2 which is also a fit. This gives you one amount of suspension support that will work well but is not adjustable. Advantage is that you don't have to maintain air pressure or run any air lines.

  • Why Does It Say Not To Use a Weight Distribution Hitch for 2015 Honda Pilot
    Yes-there is a reason. The Honda Pilot has a unibody frame, which means that the frame and body of the vehicle are all one piece; this is compared to a body on frame construction where the body of the vehicle sits on a ladder like frame. Because it doesn’t rely on heavy steel rails like those of a body-on-frame vehicle, unibody construction cuts significant weight out of the vehicle, allowing for better fuel economy. It also offers better handling and ride comfort and is safer, since the...

  • Height of Springs for Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # THROD2
    I went out to our warehouse to take a look at the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # THROD2 that you referenced and measured an overall height with the plate of 4-7/8 inches. I have attached an image to assist. These springs are confirmed to fit your 2010 Honda Odyssey and will simply replace the factory bump stops on the frame.

  • Difference of Suspension Enhancement Springs on a 2007 Honda Odyssey
    Choosing between jounce-style springs, coil helper springs, and air springs depends on why you need them in the first place. All three improve your ride, absorb shock, and will help prevent your 2007 Honda Odyssey from sagging. However, the jounce-style are not engaged when the vehicle is not loaded and are there for additional support when it's needed. Air springs however are always being used to help your ride. Also, the psi can be adjusted based on the amount of weight in the vehicle....

  • Using Weight Distribution with 2015 Honda Pilot Touring To Eliminate Rear End Sag
    According to the owner's manual, Honda doesn't recommend using weight distribution. They say 'A weight distributing hitch is not recommended for use with your vehicle. An improperly adjusted weight distributing hitch may reduce handling, stability, and braking performance'. The Equal-i-zer # EQ37060ET you'd mentioned would be a good choice as far as the compatibility with the camper goes, but I couldn't recommend anything that contradicts Honda's advice provided in the owner's manual....

    Considering the fact that most of your travel will be with passengers the best choice is the Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60815. The ride quality with the Air Lift will be a lot better when compared to the Timbren # THROD2, and your passengers will thank you for it. The air bags will provide you with the support you're looking for while reducing wear on your suspension and tires. Although the Timbren will also add support, you're really going to feel it when they engage since...

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2014 Honda Pilot
    For your 2014 Honda Pilot we do have suspension enhancement I can recommend. But we do not have any air setups. What you would want is the Timbren kit part # THROD2 which is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. The added benefit to this kit is that it does not require you to ever mess with inflating bags or maintaining air pressure. It's very much a set it and forget it type setup.

  • Solution for Reducing Rear Sag on 2012 Honda Odyssey When Towing
    Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Systems like the part # THROD2 do a really nice job of providing additional support for heavier cargo or tongue weight from a trailer, however there is still going to be a gap between the spring and contact point when mounted. This simply means that the rear of your Odyssey is still going to drop/sag with the trailer hooked up before the Timbren springs are engaged. The jounce-style springs should provide a bit of a difference in rear sag but they're...

    A few things will be necessary items if you plan to tow close to 3,500lbs with your 2008 Honda Odyssey. You will need a hitch receiver, trailer wiring kit, weight distribution hitch, and possibly a brake controller. It is always a good idea to also install a transmission cooler, power steering cooler, and suspension enhancement for safety and comfort. If you do not have a hitch receiver yet, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75270. This has the highest weight...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Options for 2011 Honda Odyssey
    We have two rear suspension alternatives for a 2011 Odyssey. The # THROD2 from Timbren which would replace the factory bump stop in the coil spring or the # AL60815 air helper spring from Air Lift which installs inside the coil spring as well, but would work along with the factory bump stop. Either system has their advantages and disadvantages. The correct choice depends on what and how often you tow or haul and whether or not the amount of weight you carry or tow varies.

  • Can A Weight Distribution System Be Used On a 2011 Honda Pilot
    The use of a weight distribution system can be restricted on certain vehicles, usually ones with a unibody frame such as the 2011 Honda Pilot because they are not rated to handle the added stress these systems have. Therefore, I cannot recommend this but we do have options that will take the place of a weight distribution system. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # THROD2 will reduce sag/squat and the Curt Electronic Sway Control System part # C94VV will reduce sway if...

    Let's begin with the trailer hitch. The Curt Class III trailer hitch, part # C13068 offers the best ground clearance of the available Class III hitches so that's the hitch I'd recommend. For the trailer wiring harness, I'd go with the # 118521 from Tow Ready. You'll also need a ball mount like # 2753 and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
