6,000-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.

Hello neighbors, welcome back. I'm Steven here at etrailer.com. Today, you're joining me where we look at these Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for the rear axle. Now folks, this is a custom fit. It's gonna fit a 2023 through the current year Toyota Sequoias. Make sure you're using our fit guide at etrailer.com, top center of our page.
Enter the year, make, and model, and we'll get you the right parts the first time. And what these do, folks, if you're not familiar with them, they basically improve suspension and handling and overall safety by providing additional support when you need it the most to have the most comfortable smooth ride possible. And what they do is they allow your leaf spring ample movement while cushioning light loads, and they actually become more rigid or more stiff when they're compressed and you have more weight, which is gonna give you greater performance when you have those higher, heavier loads. It can help reduce sag, increased stability, they work independently side to side, and they also help compensate for off-center loads. They're gonna help you reduce body roll, like if you have to swerve or you turn a corner too tight.
And they also act as a basic shock absorber. They'll take a lot of the bumps, the rough road out of your ride, that kind of stuff. They will technically extend the life of your vehicle suspension because this will take most of that brunt of those constant bumps and that kind of stuff. Now what these are is they are two Aeon hollow rubber springs with custom brackets and spacers. I've got 'em just loosely put together here, but real simply, it's got a spacer block here.
You got the hollow rubber Aeon spring. There's a big washer in there that you saw, the nut goes underneath there. This gets bolted down into place. And then you use the existing hardware off of your factory bump stop that you removed, and this goes right back in place where that factory one came off of using the same hardware. So, pretty quick, easy install, no drilling whatsoever required.
It installs directly into your frame. You've already got pre-threaded holes there. This just simply replaces that. You put it right back in place where the old one was. Now this will give you a load level capacity of 6,000 pounds. Keep in mind, this is, again, just an enhancement. You're not adding any extra capacity to your vehicle. I think a lot of people get these kind of things and they think, "Oh, now I can haul 6,000 more pounds." That's not the case. Again, this is just a load leveling capacity. So it's helping your current factory suspension by giving it a little boost that it needs to keep everything level and that kind of thing. Well folks, that's gonna do it for our look today at this Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for your rear axle. I'm Steve here at etrailer.com. Thank you so much for your time. Thanks for watching. Have fun installing these.

I bought a set for my F250 and like them so much that I bought a set for my F350. It prevents the vehicle from sagging in the rear when hauling towing heavy objects. Makes for a smoother and more stable riding experience.
Great job. Will use etrailer again.
These were delivered quickly and installed in minutes. I can't wait to give them a ride with my Airstream in tow.
Really not sure it's doing anything. No noticeable difference when towing my camper.

Very easy to install. I got the product in two days. Love etrailer products. THANKS.
nice ride with my 5th wheel
Excellent communication and insane fast shipping!
Just installed on 2008 Hyundai Entorouge seems to work well. Only problem was that I had buy new hardware because the supplied hardware was standard not metric.
Product does not help rear swag with fifth wheel camper but a half inch. On brand new truck as well. Not happy with product. Called to return them and want me to pay 27.00 shipping and stated in email that was sent to me I couldn’t return if installed. I’m not understanding this ? Do not buy ! I won’t be doing any more business with etrailer . Not helpful at all
Works like expected. Keeps the truck looking level even under heavy loads.
Fast delivery and easy installation
