3,000-lb Capacity. Great for trucks with plows, these front hollow rubber springs help to 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.

Just like the rear of your vehicle will sag under the weight of a fully loaded bed, the front of your vehicle will sag when under the burden of heavy equipment such as a snowplow. In this case, the front axle is handling not only the weight of the equipment, but also more of the vehicle's weight. Overall vehicle 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 your front axle. Hollow rubber springs are bolted to the bottom of the bracket and hang down so that the bottom of each spring touches the axle. Because each spring is making constant contact with the axle, it is always working to cushion and support your factory suspension.
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're carrying off-center loads.
Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System will help raise the front end of your vehicle when you're using heavy equipment like a snowplow. This ensures that your headlight beams will be pointed in the right direction and tire wear will be reduced. If the plow is off-center or has an extension, the springs will automatically compensate for this as well.
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'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. More elasticity allows for a more comfortable ride because the rubber has more travel.

Hi everyone. Aiden here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System. This is going to be an upgraded bump stop for the front end of your vehicle, whether it be a car like the 4Runner here or a motor home. These are gonna come in a variety of different kits and fits with different capacities and help stabilize the front end of your vehicle. Let's check it out.
So why would you be looking for something on the front end of the suspension enhancement side A lot of people are pretty familiar with airbags on the rear axle, and a lot of those suspension enhancement components are used in towing applications or maybe truck beds where you've got really heavy loads in the bed and you need extra support at the back of the vehicle. Now what the front end can do is stabilize that front end, if you do have something like a front mounted hitch, maybe a plow on a truck, or on a larger vehicle or even a smaller vehicle like this, it does help stabilize body roll a lot because these are going to be a lot beefier than the factory suspension and the factory bump stops, that is, and help limit that side to side movement as we're taking turns or driving down in like really windy conditions on the highway. So this will give a significant upgrade for those applications. As far as the construction for these goes it's going to be a hollow Aeon rubber material with a progressive spring rate. Now, what the progressive spring rate means is the more this compresses, the more pressure it has, the more it's going to work at returning the vehicle to its natural position.
So it's just going to resist more and more as it gets further compressed. As for the installation process, this particular one that I've been holding is for the 4Runner, and this one is a very basic kit. It really just has a threaded end with a bolt and a plate on the inside, but this just spreads into a factory weld done on the 4Runner. Very straightforward install. But for all the other different fits and kits, those are gonna have custom brackets and their own hardware that come with it.
So no matter what one you end up going with, if it's a fit for your vehicle, it's going to be custom fit. So the installation should be just a straightforward bolt on process. Now obviously that can vary depending on the kit and what vehicle you're putting it on, especially on the motor home side of things. But for the most part, you should be able to have a very straightforward install process with any of these kits you pick out. And to make sure you find the right kit for you, be sure to enter your vehicle information into our fit guide and use that to narrow down for the custom fit options available for your vehicle.
If you're considering some front suspension enhancement, I do think that these bump stops from Timbren are a really solid option. From the testing we did in installation on our 4Runner, they performed great. They reduced a ton of the body roll and really helped when we're going over speed bumps and just aggressive driving conditions where we need that extra support. Whether you've got a truck with a plow on it, or a motor home that you're trying to reduce body roll on, something like this can be be a huge help and it's a very straightforward solution. But that'll do it for a look at the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System Bump Stops. Thanks for watching.

3,000-lb Capacity. Great for trucks with plows, these front hollow rubber springs help to 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.Really makes a difference when hauling a heavy gooseneck.
I have not put any weight on it yet so that will come later. I have a 2007 G.M.C. 2500 H.D. and I pull a 40 foot Big Horn Traveler. What I want to talk about is the install. It was quick only took about a hour. Take the tire down and start. Had no problems it went just like the video showed. I did not use the big washer I didn't have enough room.I have about 1 inch of travel before they come in to play so ride is the same.
Takes the sag out for a bargain, but not as good as real springs
Super easy to install. After reading several reviews about this product and how folks went about installing, found that I just needed to remove just one of the U-Bolts and just barely loosened the second. Replaced both in about 30 minutes. Shipping was quick and was exactly what I ordered. Reviews were helpful and will definitely use etrailer again.
Bump stops I bought from you are way bigger and so much better than oem. Only took less than 30 minutes to install. It was very easy to install.
Great product, easy to put on. It took less than 45 minutes to put the new Timber butt stops on. Only thing I would request is to tape up the box they cam in, because by the time it travels to your location it’s beat to hell and back. Like the last time I ordered the ones for the front, all the parts were missing. Luckily this time all items were still in the box.
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
Product fits as described. Will try out when I tow my travel trailer in a few weeks.
Works good when pulling trailer take them out when not pulling for smoother ride only takes about 10 minutes
The rear enhancement springs I ordered was exactly what I ordered. Thank you!!!
Came just as advertised. Waiting to install. As an aside: You might want to make sure all box sides are securely taped as the USPO delivered the box with the un-taped side completely pulled away from the box and the suspension parts were pushing out of the box.
Great Service, a company that I’ll go back too. Thanks Alex!
Works great with my slide in camper easy install great product will do the front next
Got them this morning as promised. Haven’t put them to the test yet but installation was a breeze, 30 to 45 minutes. That includes putting away the tools and washing my hands!
Product arrived on time. Installation was easier than the video. Only took me 20 minutes.
Works great. Helps to stabilize my large toy hauler behind my Ram Truck while traveling. My truck stays level with the heavy load.. Highly recommend.
Every thing I got from you guys is all great . Thanks for checking !!
Easy install / part of the system I used to get the "Sway" out of my awfully heavy truck camper.
super easy to install. I only used the jack to hold the u-bolts in place. Can't wait to put them to use!
Works great. Still looks like new after a year and we use it hard.
Box was not taped and was at my door open. Thankfully all parts were there. Install was easy and just as the videos suggest. Took 20 mins total to do.
Just what my truck needed to stop the sag when I hook up to my 5th wheel.
Very Poor and unsatisfactory. Box arrived unsealed with no attempt to tape box closed from shipper or manufacturer. Hardware is the worst quality control I have seen in 25 years of working with automotive parts. The 3/8 nut welded to the flat bar was painted inside 75% of the threads and the nut and bolt are stripping trying to clean up the threads. The welding and painting is very poor quality on all parts. Paint shows bare steel in many locations. The nuts and bolts are plain steel and not protected from corrosion at all except where they got paint from the flat bar inside the threaded nut!
