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.

by:

Fast and reliable shipping.



by:

Haven't tried them out yet with the trailer, but install was fast and simple. Looks great and has not changed the ride unloaded, as some reviews had suggested. Will know more after hauling horse.



by:

Amazing solution that leveled out my truck when towing my tailor. Super easy to install and nothing to adjust.



by:

Easy to install. Took 20 minutes. Quality is great. We'll see how they hold up with the trailer hooked up.



by:

The install was very straight forward and if one can turn a wrench or follow instructions no problem, Haven't carried a load or towed yet but normal service is as normal.



by:

Delivered in 3 days, installed with just a few hand tools total time took about 20 minutes. Tested immediately with 2 tons of mulch in the bed of my truck. Best I have seen for he money. Awesome!!! Great product.



by:

I bought these for a 2020 Ram 2500 because they had great reviews here and at a lot of other places around the internet. They do not fit correctly. On the passenger side, they are almost touching the frame with no load in the bed or on the hitch. The ride is absolutely terrible, very rough and painful. The ONLY time it's tolerable is with my 3000 pound camper in the bed of the truck. I would have returned these, but I waited a few months to install them, so it was too late by the time I realized how bad they were for my application. If you have a truck that is always loaded with a lot of weight, this would be awesome. Otherwise, spend the extra money and get air bags. I will be installing air bags and throwing these in the trash.



by:

Easy to install helps with heavy trailer stability as I had hoped. Takes stress off the factory shocks and coils.



by:

Works great. Truck rides as normal without load. Load it up and they engage and the truck rides level.



by:

Installed in an hour on saturday morning before breakfast. Loaded my Can-Am Outlander Max 800CC ATV in the back and truck stayed level. Handled so much better, I strongly recommend this product as an effective solution that is also inexpensive.



by:

Haven't installed yet. Service and shipping from retailer was very quick!



by:

Made a big difference in how the vehicle tows when we have the camper hooked.



by:

serve its purpose. just something extra to help with my towing



by:

Great product and great customer service



by:

My second set due to buying a new truck. I consider these vital when towing a TT with my F150. They maintain a correct ride height and reduce sway dramatically. At the same time, they do not affect unloaded ride quality...easy to install too!



by:

I have not used them yet. I will do that this weekend. But man they were easy to install. The instructions were great and easy to follow. So far so good.



by:

Don't see $500 worth of parts. Not even close. 2 rubber bump spots and a bracket.



by:

Installed on my 2018 Raptor. Easy install, works great, and no sag pulling my toy hauler.



by:

Made a huge difference - not just in load management when hauling 30 sheets of plywood, but greatly improved the handling & ride in my front-wheel drive work van. I just traded in for a newer model van, so I'm getting the same units again!



by:

These look like they will cure the evils of the heavy load God's. Easy to install and they look like they are quite stout. I will find out in a couple of weeks from now.



by:

Very easy to install 30 min. tops. Have not tried them with the trailer yet but I'm sure they will do the trick. Very pleased!



by:

Easy installation. However, product has not been tested in a manner appropriate to provide rating.



by:

Hitch fit great and the instructions were easy to follow.



by:

great delivery time. I received them this afternoon and installed them in about an hour. thanks to the video that showed everything step by step. thanks for a great product. I think this is just what we needed to help haul our camper and pull our car hauler at the same time. thanks again



by:

They definitely reduced sway and lean when driving. But also seems like you really feel every bump and increase road noise?
I assume since vibration from axle can now travel directly to frame?
Might need to upgrade shocks?
Might soften liitle over time?
Might need to get softer onesv
Only have gone 80 miles with them so far.
Will give it another few hundred miles and see what feel then.

Overall pretty happy So far.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 1999 Dodge Ram 1500 with 5th Wheel Rail Kit
    We have suspension enhancement kits that fit your 1999 Dodge Ram that can be used with the rail kit you have installed but none of the air bag kits can work with it. Instead a Timbren setup like # TDR1525H4 would be your best option as you'll get the support you are looking that's compatible with the in-bed rail kit you have.

  • Best Suspension Upgrade for a 1997 Ram 1500 w/a Truck Bed Camper
    Hey Zak thanks for the picture! The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System item # TDR1525H4 is going to be the best option for leveling out the rear end of your Ram 1500. The added weight of that truck bed camper is really going to push the suspension down so the 6,000 lbs capacity springs will definitely address that. When you're not loaded down you shouldn't notice them but that'll depend on how old your truck's springs are. If you have any additional questions feel free to throw...

  • Rear Air Bags for a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500
    Thanks for reaching out, Chad! The kit that you referenced, # F2220, is only compatible with a 3500 - Cab and Chassis so wouldn't work for your 2500 - Pickup. The kit that would work is part # F2071. This will work on 2WD and 4WD trucks. Something to keep in mind is that it's not compatible with in-bed hitch; product mounts in same location as hitch brackets. You also need to check the distance from the outside of the frame to the inside of the tire and that it's at least 7-1/2". There...

  • Why Is There No Gap Between The Frame And Timbren SES Kit On A 1994 Dodge Ram 1500
    Hi Chet, Timbren SES kits like the # TDR1525H4 and # TDF25004B you installed should have a 1/2" to 1-1/2" gap. If they do not then your factory suspension is going to need to be upgraded/replaced. The coil springs and shocks are likely worn too much to support the weight, causing the vehicle to sag down enough for the Timbren's to engage. I would look into getting your shocks and coil springs replaced to help create a gap between them and the bump stop plates. Both of the Timbren kits...

  • Can Timbren for 1998 Dodge Ram Work on Truck with Lift Kit
    Hey Christopher, yes the Timbren kit part # TDR1525H4 will work on a lifted 1998 Dodge Ram with a lift as long as you got a spacer kit to take up the increased lift added. The # T68MR comes with 2 1 inch spacers and 2 1/2 inch spacers but if you let me know how much the lift adds I can help you get just the spacers you'd for sure need.

  • Which Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement for 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 2WD
    Mega Cab is how Dodge/Ram refers to its largest 4 door cab. Because the bed is different, certain accessories won't work with the Mega Cab vehicles. All this can get pretty confusing. For a 1500 series Mega Cab 2 WD, you'd use part # TDR2500CA For a 1500 series Crew Cab or Quad Cab 2 WD, you'd use part # TDR1525H4 I've provided you with a photo showing the different cab sizes, hopefully that will make things a bit clearer for you. I'm sorry for the confusion.

  • Will Upgrading Rear Anti-Sway Bar Help Reduce Body Roll on a 1999 Dodge Ram Pickup
    Upgrading the rear factory anti-sway bar with # RM-1129-122 will help reduce side to side body roll. This bar fits 2500 and 3500 series 4x4s only. Other option to reduce body roll is to install some suspension helper springs. If you have a 4x4 with standard height (no factory or aftermarket lift) I recommend # TDR1525H4 which will fit a 1500 or 2500 but not a 3500. For a 3500 use # TDR3500 for a 4x4 or # TDR3500B for 2-wheel drive models. For a 1500 with standard height and 2-wheel drive...

  • Suspension Enhancement Solution that Fits 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 with Gooseneck Hitch
    At this time there are no in-bed hitches that will fit with the Firestone air bag kit # F2220 based on what Firestone states. So you'd have to remove that kit if you were serious about installing a gooseneck hitch and then use a Timbren part # TDR1525H4 for suspension enhancement and the Curt hitch part # C60734 that you referenced on your 1998 Dodge Ram 2500.

    The Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57215 is not compatible with your B&W Turnoverball gooseneck hitch in your 2001 Ram 2500 4x4.

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement System for a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 Carrying a Truck Bed Camper
    When looking into rear suspension enhancement systems, one factor that you will want to consider is the type of load that you want to support. If your load will be a consistent size and weight, such as a pickup camper or trailer, then the Timbren springs are an excellent option. If you frequently haul loads that vary in size and weight, then the air bag suspension systems would be more ideal because they can adjust to different load sizes. If you primarily need the suspension enhancement...
