6,000-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. Becomes more rigid as more weight is added for great performance when you're hauling a heavy load.

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.
I have an 18 year old Ranger that I put a snow plow on a couple of years ago. To avoid the extra strain on the suspension I put Timbrens on the front. Last year I started pulling a trailer so decided to put Timbrens on the rear as well. My truck is more stable and handles the extra weight on both ends much better. They are a great investment in an old truck that I really like.
Works flawlessly
Works great. Holds back end up like its suposed to
Excellent service and pricing. Many tha nks
Terrible, ride. jarring.
Easy install.
Installed these on a 2019 Honda Odyssey along with new shocks and made a night and day difference. Highly recommended
I originally wanted air bags, but I was unable at the time to afford air bag suspension. I came across the Timbren system and they fit my budget at the time. They seemed an affordable solution for my towing needs.
The installation was easy for a DIY guy (me). I love this system for how I use them. They get an extreme work load weekly. I tow between 8000lbs and 12500lbs trailer’s weekly across the country. Good ride and almost no sag at the rear of truck(F250). I will stick with these and save the money on the air bags. I definitely recommend this product.
The vent covers and Timbren products were shipped quickly and everything I needed was included. They were very easy to install, 3 covers done in 20 minutes.
Timbren suspension products I chose because of ease of installation, no additional drilling, no taking the tires off. These did take some time but we’ll worth the effort, handling greatly improved. Also added Safe-T-Plus steering.
Quick service and delivery. Parts were in stock. Overall great service!
So far so good easy install
I have a 1991 Mazda B2600I 4x4. I would give this product a 5 star rating if it wasn't for the fact that it didn't exactly fit my vehicle as advertised. I had to modify things a bit to make it work. Other than that the product preforms as advertised as far as I can tell so far. I haven't really hauled any overly heavy loads yet but I have noticed the difference. Would recommend the product though you may want to call to double check the fit if you have an older make and model.
I think that they are awful. I was told that I couldn’t return them. Upon me purchasing them you did not have the item I was specifically looking for and I spoke to one of your salesman who recommended these and said they were the same thing. Which they are absolutely not. So I would say I am totally displeased not necessarily for the product but for the lack of knowledge from the salesman don’t really know if the product is in good working condition because it’s not the product I was looking for. So now I’m stuck with something I can’t use.
Quick delivery & excellent product for those 3/4 ton truck owners who wish they purchased a 1 ton instead
Fantastic. Nothing to leak or tear up
Well made, easy to mount in position
Easy to install and effective.
Does not fit on Winnebago Intent, and missing hardware. First of all, you have to move the brake lines, because these will hit right on them. Secondly, I have a Traction bar, and that leaves no room for these springs. They will run into the Trac bar hardware & tear apart. Even without the Trac bar, these are a poor fit at best. Third problem, the lightweight flimsy cardboard box has no hope of holding the heavy parts without tearing or bursting open. Additionally, the small parts (nuts, bolts, washers) are in a VERY thin cheap plastic bag that also has no hope of holding them either. So, like many other customers, several parts were NOT in the box. This is an obvious & foreseeable problem - especially since many other customers have complained about this exact same issue.
The product probably does work well - if it can fit, and if you get all the parts. But don't count on that happening.
correct parts, easy install
I have had airbags before and debated on trying Timbren's for my latest dually instead. I have not been disappointed. I haul both a Lance cab over camper and a gooseneck trailer with a backhoe and these Timbren's keep the truck level and balanced. I would recommend them for the price savings and ease of install over airbags. I have a friend with a single rear wheel F350 and he has the same good results hauling as well.
Great Product, Easy to install. I haven't pulled my Toyhauler with my 2015 Ram Bighorn yet but they look like they will do the job
Work good , when pulling my trailer .. would buy again !
This was a great addition to our 2000 f250 super duty pickup. I had looked at airbag systems also. The timbres system looked like it would better suit our needs on this truck. Easy and quick install. Takes the toll out of the truck when pulling the gooseneck horse trailer or the livestock trailer. No air lines or mount issues to deal with during installation ( i.e. gooseneck hitch can be issues with air bag mounts). My wife uses this truck and I did not want her to be a long way from home and have to find parts and r shop to work on an airbag system, Timbren solved that. I would positively recommend them depending on the situation
They work great for controlling squat at the expense of a bumpy ride when empty.
very easy to install, very happy with the amount of weight they can handle. will be buying more.
