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.

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.

Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we've got John with us from Timbren. He's gonna tell us a little bit more about what separates Timbren from the competitors. I appreciate it, I'm glad to be here. Timbren is a suspension specialist. We're based in Whitby, Ontario, so we are a true manufacturer in Canada and we offer a wide range of suspension products from light duty, from commercial all the way up to Overlander, Sprinter applications and trailers.
Now we've talked about a few of the options you guys have and we have plenty of options on our website. Right. We've got the SES kits. We've got the axle-less suspension. Right.
We've got your new coil inserts that just came out recently. But what would you say is your bread-and-butter at Timbren Yeah, no, our SES, suspension enhancement system, is definitely our bread-and-butter. Came out in 2011, won a SEMA New Product Award for best truck suspension. And really, the evolution you just mentioned here, you know, starting in 1968 all the way through now, 2024. But the SES kits are really the core of who we are.
And if you, if you would say at, in the level of stiffness on the market, what would you, would you put yourself in more in a heavy duty side for the SES kits or is it more of a lighter duty Yeah, great question. Lighter duty, we certainly can have a product for commercial and heavy duty, but in '82 when SES was introduced, it was purposely introduced for that, that light duty market. So we start with 1500 and again, go all the way up, but by far really popular with that 1500, 2500 crowd. That kinda leads me into my next question. So we talked about, your specialty is kind of in the lighter duty, but do you have an option for the heavier duty for your sprinter vans and maybe for your truck bed campers Yeah, absolutely.
We do have SES kits for truck beds, truck campers with a higher center of gravity. That creates a new kind of set of problems with the sway side to side. So we have severe duty kits for those. And it uses a single convoluted AON versus a double convoluted to tackle that problem of side to side. And the same thing with the sprinter van. It uses a rectangular shape Aon, but it's there to do the same deal that side to side sway because they're so top heavy, it'll eliminate that. Okay. And then we've had an instance here at etrailer that we had a van that was very, very heavy on the one side. Is there anything that you guys can do personally to help, I would say, I guess customize that kit for that particular user Yeah, by all means we would want that individual to contact us. We would ask a couple questions, see where that weight is distributed and we can actually produce an AON with either a stiffer hardness or durometer or a softer durometer and that will help level it out. So yes, we can take care of that for 'em. And I think that'll really, really help people to get their rigs dialed in because who knows what they're putting in the campers afterwards, after they buy 'em. They come from the manufacturer already heavy on that side and they're trying to load stuff on the other side to try to even it out. But knowing that there's a solution that you can customize for your rig no matter what the weight is on either side is really, really cool. Yeah, absolutely. We're happy to take care of 'em and again, there's no charge for that. Awesome. Now to kind of wrap things up, what sets Timbren apart from a lot of other manufacturers out there Well, I think there's a couple things. We're a family run company and our longevity, you can't deny, 1968 to 2024 and our warranty, we have a lifetime warranty regardless of how old it is. We will take care of it, replace it, limited lifetime warranty, and the hundred day money back guarantee. Very cool. And that's whether or not you're the first owner Right. And yeah, we're not asking for receipt, who'd you buy it from It'll be taken care of. Just give us a ring and we'll take care of it for you. Very cool. Well thank you again for meeting with us. Appreciate it. It was a pleasure to work with you. Thank you.
This is a great product so far. It made my nv200 van ride nice and smooth with a heavy load.
I am thankful that I watch video reviews, on [online] and your website
Your employees conduct straightforward product tests and reviews. They are candid with their reviews and will not steer customers in one direction or the other, just open and honest in the Q&A section as well.
Gives the extra support I need for hauling livestock without affecting ride quality. Would highly recommend this product.
The product did everything I expected to give me. I recommended this Product to others and told them it was better than Chocolate candy, ha. Thank tou
These stops worked great after I got them installed. Had no sue with them.
They worked well on my 2010 Silverado !!!
Great product! It's been installed for about a year and has worked great without sacrificing the factory ride. Very smooth transaction as well.
Easy install, this is my second set I have put on. Could not wait to put these on my new truck. Really works when you put a load on your truck.
Install was amazingly easy on 2015 Chrysler TnC. Ride height is much better under load. No issues.
On a long bed Tundra. Barney simple. They improve towing stability with my RV. Installed them in about 30 min.
Completely satisfied, would not have another truck without this setup installed
So my stock timbres were way too small and had seen better days. I found these and replaced my old pair. I feel slot more confident when towing with these.
Third truck I’ve used Timbren’s on, they are great. No more broken leaf srings. Quick shipping. You won’t regret this purchase.
Very well built! They for me are more of insurance policy to keep our vehicle from bottoming out. So that hasn’t yet, and hopefully won’t!
The Timbren arrived within one week of ordering them. I installed them myself. They were a little more difficult to install than I anticipated. I am happy with the performance.
Real easy to instal and help with the sag when towing my trailer. Ride a bit stiffer when not towing but that is to be expected and not that bad.
Sold vehicle shortly after install,never got a chance to use it. But the install was very easy and product was high quality.
I have the worst ride with my truck.than ever before. It is not what I expected
These things work great. Un loaded still have a factory ride. Super easy install.
It is just I needed short of putting in a air bag system complete with compressor at a lot more money and it is maintenance free.
Very Happy with my purchase I don’t need they’re load capability all the time but happy they are installed for those moments when I need it.
Easy to install. Maybe 45 minutes. Great improvement on my towing keeping truck reasonably level. Very little change in unburdened driving.
Highly recommend this product. It's made a huge difference in the handling of our camper. It causes a little tighter ride when not hauling but the pluses are worth it.
It performed as expected with greater loads but the vehicle ride is rougher with larger bumps without a load on the truck.
Very promp on order, give updates on receiving order. Appreciated the bussiness from me as a customer.
Thank you,
Hugh
Will put them in every vehicle I get. Huge difference in stability when towing. Very little ride change when empty.
