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. 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 because the rubber has more travel.

I purchased the timbren rear suspension system for my F150 to assist with towing my boat. The install was easy and only took about 30 minutes. After installing day to day driving had no change, while towing my boat got rid of any noticeable sag in the back. Overall these are well constructed and I am pretty sure they will last the remaining life of the truck.

Worked great on my f150 truck pulling a heavy loaded 24 ft enclosed car trailer full of furniture 900 miles.
Running truck without the trailer it does feel stiff on curbs and pot holes. May remove them until next heavy load. I DO HAVE SPACE BETWEEN THEM. Still touches easily.

Installed these on a 2014 F150 and love them. They don't effect the unloaded ride quality and improve the trucks stance when it is loaded or towing.

Easy to install and works great. Keeps the truck level with a load on and definitely takes out the suspension jump when there is weight on. Overall very pleased.

2014 Ford F-150
Incredible !!! Great product !
Installation took about 15 minutes and the difference is just incredible, I tow a 10,000 pound trailer with an F150 and the drop on the truck was only the clearance from the Timbrens to the axle .... They handled all the load with no sag on the back of the truck! could not be happier and 100% recommend for towing hauling....
Full disclosure they will effect your normal ride when hitting large pot holes or bumps and cause a little sway but they work perfectly for what I purchased them for !!
by: Tom A.01/01/2018
Installed in minutes without taking wheels off of my 2014 FX4. (Assemble rubber on bracket in vice, then install on frame). Can be done. Simple and effective. Well worth the money, couldn't imagine towing my HT fifth wheel without it.

I have not installed them yet, but everyone that has a set of these timbren suspension systems swear by them. I now have a 22 ft travel trailer to tow with my F 150 and these should help with the weight on the truck. Will let you know more when they are installed.

Great stopped the sagging suspension and swaying
by: Kreston09/25/2022
While towing, they perform flawlessly! They give the additional support needed to eliminate my truck from squatting while hauling loads or pulling our camper! Makes the truck feel more stable in corners as well. The ONLY “complaint” I have is that when the truck is unloaded, the ride is VERY rigid. I drive my truck daily, and the rough ride isn’t enough for me to remove the kit, but it’s definitely very very noticeable and much more harsh! But, I rate them 5 stars for how they perform while towing and/or hauling.
by: Vito J05/22/2020
After owning the Timbren spring system for over a year I can only say that these are the "Best". We tow a fifth wheel and there is a noticeable difference with regard to height of the truck and when cornering. When not towing the truck rides as though nothing has changed and rides the same as when originally manufactured. I would highly recommend the Timbren system. Installation was extremely easy.

Easy to install. Video was spot on. No change in ride without tow. All is well. Can’t wait until I hookup my 12,000 pound camper.
by: Bryan09/20/2021
After over a year since installing the Timbren suspension enhancement system on my F150 4x4 I am pleased with their performance. I have a 10K LB Car Trailer that I pull. The truck sits more level now verses the rear squatting down and the front lifted. The trailer tracks very nice now, which provides an increase level of control and comfort. The only thing you need to monitor for a good ride is to make sure you don't load the back end of the truck down to the point where there is a small gap between the Timbrens and the axle. When this happens you can experience a bump in the suspension when you have rough roads. Overall I would highly recommend these.

2012 Ford F-150
I purchased a kit for my Ford F150 mainly for towing, the kit was super easy to install but was a bit rough for my liking at first. The problem appeared to be that I run my truck bed loaded with a few hundred pounds most of the time so the kit was much closer to the axle and would tap the spring bumpers when I hit minor bumps. I removed the 1" spacers and things work great now, no problems and it keeps my truck more level and eliminates me having to cringe when the loaded rear end hits a dip in the road. I think the kit provides a good safety net by spreading the load onto more points of contact. Good product, but could use different spacers of a variety of thickness to personalize the kit to the load of the truck as everyone buys these to address a variety of weights and issues.

2010 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
this is a super product. This is my 2nd set of Timbren "overload springs". my first set was on my 2002 trailblazer and this set is on my 2010 Ford F150. In both cases, it has kept my vehicle perfectly level (I measured) when I loaded up with lumber, cement, sand, or any other heavy cargo. it works just as advertised. this time I loaded it up with 500 pounds of water softener salt to give me some traction through the winter. It works a lot better than Sam because I can use it up throughout the year. 10 years ago, the installation on my trailblazer was a little difficult. This time on my F150, it was a piece of cake. However, I tried for an hour to install one without removing the wheels and couldn't do it. So I got out the floor jack and jack stands (yes, I'm a little lazy at 67), pulled the 2 back wheels, and it took 20 minutes total, including pulling the wheels and putting them back on. great product and good service from etrailer.com.

- Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2013 Ford F-150 with Curt Fifth Wheel RailsI really wish I could say yes, but Firestone states that the bag kit you have cannot be used with an in-bed hitch like the Curt you mentioned. Would you consider switching suspension kits to one that is compatible? If so, the Timbren kit part # TFR1504D will work well with the Curt 5th wheel bracket kit # C16441. It also won't require maintaining air bag pressure as well.
view full answer... - Helper Springs for a 2014 Ford F-150 with Full Truck Bed and towing 7,000 Pound TrailerEven with the bed on your 2014 Ford F-150 loaded and towing a 7,000 pound trailer the weight on the actual rear axle of the truck is still well under 6,000 pounds so going with the 6K rated Timbren springs, # TFR1504D for 4x4s or # TFR1502D for 2-wheel drive models will work well. The 7K kits are designed for severe service vehicles only.
view full answer... - Availability of Firestone Vehicle Suspension for 2012 Ford F-150 Compatible with 5th Wheel HitchAccording to Firestone, the # F2525 is not compatible with a fifth wheel hitch. Their # F2542 had been tested with the B&W hitches, but not with anything from Reese. Because the F2542 mounts to the outside of the frame rail, I believe the install brackets for the Elite Series would interfere with the install of the airbag kit. Going with a Timbren system like # TFR1502D for 2WD or # TFR1504D for 4WD would be compatible, as they replace the factory jounce stop on the bottom of the frame...

All of the air spring suspension enhancement systems we have for your 2014 Ford F-150 either mount on the outside of the frame or have a part of the mounting bracket that will come in contact with the outside of the frame. The Draw-Tite Gooseneck Hitch # 9465-37 mounts to the outside of the truck frame, so it is possible...

The Timbren springs simply take the place of the factory bump stops mounted to the underside of the frame members directly above the rear axle. If the brackets from your hitch did not interfere with the bump stops, they will not prevent the Timbren springs from being installed. I have confirmed this with my Timbren representative. I...

- Recommended Air Suspension And Fifth Wheel For 2013 Ford F-150 With Short BedWhen you go to install a fifth wheel on the 2013 Ford F-150, you will need to install a Sidewinder to replace the pin box on the trailer. The 5-1/2 ft bed is too short for a normal slider hitch, and you could damage the cab when executing turns. If you want to send me the make and model of the pin box on the trailer I will be glad to make a recommendation for the Sidewinder that will work for you. Since the brackets for a fifth wheel hitch will use the outside frame on the truck, they...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2016 Ford F-150 that Wont Affect Unloaded Ride QualityIf you want to eliminate sag and also ensure that the unloaded ride quality is not affected then air bags are the way to go as they are the only solution that gives you a totally unaffected ride quality when not inflated. For that I recommend the Firestone kit part # F2582 which is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Ford F-150 and has the highest quality air bags of the kits we offer. I attached an install video for more info as well. For a compressor kit to make inflating and maintaining...

It will not give you more towing capacity or more payload capacity, but it will assist your factory suspension to take the brunt of the load and level your truck so your headlights aren't pointed up to the sky when towing. I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs - Rear Axle # AL57200 which will give you...

Instead the Timbren kit part # TFR1504D will work well as it has been confirmed as a fit with rail kits. What's great about this kit is that it never requires you to inflate air bags or maintain anything. Once you install them you are good to go and don't have to think about them. For a fifth wheel rail kit you...

If there is sag on the rear of your 2012 Ford F-150 that is caused by a heavy load in the truck bed as you are towing with your weight distribution system, then suspension enhancement such as the Timbren # TFR1504D would be a solution. However, if there is sag without a heavy load and you are towing with a weight distribution system then it is likely that you have either the incorrectly rated system...

The additional 1600 lbs. of leveling capability will help. It will give you the additional support that you will need to keep as level as possible. Please keep in mind these do not increase the towing capacity of your truck...
view full answer... - Suspension Assist or Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2012 Ford F150 FX4Actually a weight distribution system would be a better option for you. Suspension enhancement will help you tow the trailer more level, but a WD will help with that and since it transfers some of the tongue weight to the front axles it will improve braking and handling considerable. Especially in emergency situations. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes...

- Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2015 Ford F-150 Towing Car HaulerSuspension enhancement is great for vehicles that are carrying a heavy load in the cargo area of the vehicle. But if the sag is from towing a trailer a much better solution is a weight distribution system. This will take the tongue weight of the trailer and partially distribute it to the front axle of the vehicle which will give it better braking and handling characteristics than with suspension enhancement. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the...

What will work for air bag kits will be # AL88385 for a 4x4 or # AL57268 for a 2-wheel drive model. I have included links to the instructions so you can see that the brackets will not interfere. You can also use a Timbren kit, # TFR1504D for a 4x4 or # TFR1502D for a 2x4. The benefit of these systems is that there...

That said, this is only for payload/tongue weight and does not need to be equal to the weight of the trailer. The drawback of this option is that they can sometimes affect the unloaded ride quality.
