8,600-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.
Truck Squatting was reduced from 3" to 1" after the the install. The difference in ride quality while pulling my trailer is very noticeable. I did not give it 5 stars due to poor packaging and missing bolts.
These made a significant difference to my ride in my RV. Well worth the investment before going to more expensive solutions.
Here is a big tip...put the rear bolt washer and nut together just tight enough to slide the mount onto the bolt assembly. Hold the bracket steady while you install the front bolt, washer, and nut into the drilled hole into the bracket. This will save you time and many words we do not say in front of children. I soaked the old bolts with penetrating oil and waited three hours to get the OE bump stops off. No broken bolts, one of the OE bump stop rubber potions was totally gone. I used the whole assembly on my 2002 4X4 GMC extended CAB SHORT BED with the hidden rear doors and Z71 package and it ended up perfect. I have driven it with and without a load and I wish I had gotten these years ago.
I tow 20k and these really work. They significantly reduce body roll and bottoming out.
P.S. and they’re easy to install
This is a great product so far. It made my nv200 van ride nice and smooth with a heavy load.
GREAT PRODUCT!!
Super!
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.
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.
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.
Sold vehicle shortly after install,never got a chance to use it. But the install was very easy and product was high quality.
They work well however it does stiffen the right up considerably when weight is applied to them hit a large bump and you can feel them
The Timbren’s have been a game changer. My story with them has moved about 4 others to install them as well. All are happy.
Every thing was in the box nicely organized and I can’t wait to install them on my day off. I will add comments afterwards and pictures.
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.
They do work well for helping to control body tilt side to side on our Motorhome. About 2 hours to install all four myself.
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.
Love them
