12,000-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. 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 because the rubber has more travel.

12,000-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.For me this last transaction was not very etrailer like. The Timbrens are good.
Before I ordered the Timbren SES on the eTrailer web site I had a few questions so I called eTrailer. A woman answered and really wasn't very knowledgeable about the product but didn't offer to pass me along to someone who was. She instead referred me to Timbren. I was a bit put off and thought why should I buy from etrailer then. I told her "well I'll just buy straight from Timbren then". She was a bit snarky and said they may not sell to the public (which they do, something else she wasn't aware of). I checked the Timbren site. Their price was a tad higher and the delivery would be later so I went back to the eTrailer site and just purchased the Timbrens.
At the time of ordering, the delivery was estimated to be Nov 8. Since I was leaving on a trip on the 11th, this would give me time to get them, install them and test them.
The package didn't arrive until late on the 10th - two days late. The Timbren box was in rough shape. It looked like it had been previously opened and then overly taped back up.
I opened the box and did a quick inventory. Just my luck, it was missing the bolts and shims. I called etrailer to inform them but they couldn't do anything for me quickly. As I was up against a timeline, I went to a local hardware store and bought the needed hardware for just under $5 but what an inconvenience. It should be noted the other components in the box were in good shape. The installation thereafter was a breeze even in the dark.
Since I was leaving on my trip in a few hours I could only hope the Timbrens would work as well on this truck as they did on my 2015 since I didn't get a chance to test them.
While they did credit my card for $5, I received absolutely nothing from Timbren after emailing them with the above information.
The Timbrens are a good product but etrailer fell flat this time.
$[XX] for two brackets hollow rubber bump stops, and some hardware? SMH!
It’s been two weeks since I installed the 12,000 pound Timbren bump stops on my 2024 f450 pickup truck and my springs have almost completely flattened out. I absolutely do not think this product will support the 12,000 pound load capacity that etrailer or Timbren claims they will nor does it eliminate enough of the squat. I will be returning this product ASAP and ordering Airbags.
Great product, it works perfect on my truck. Sometimes I tow up to 30k lbs including my trailer and my truck stays level. No more high beam flashing in my eyes from drivers going in the opposite direction on the road.
After attempting to install airbags that ultimately had to be returned bc of a Fitment issue, I switched to the Timbrens. Although they make no difference unloaded, they helped settle the rear axle down when towing our 5th wheel. Satisfied with the product, easy to install. The folks at etrailer were helpful with the exchange.
They are excellent. However, the real excellent part is that the original pair ordered was stolen. Yes, you heard correct and I’ll say it loudly, they were stolen in transit and ups literally delivered an empty box. A box that clearly states 10lbs they actually had the gall to place at my door completely empty. But etrailer stepped up and made it right. That’s the true excellent part etrailer’s service. They are fantastic.
Timbren bushings are great because they are simple to install, have no ancillary systems to rely on like compressors, and self adjust with changing loads. I have used them for years on multiple trucks and only had one bushing break. Timbren replaced it for free under their lifetime warranty! This is a great product.
Easy to do. Took 20 min. Smoother ride for sure.
Installed in 15 minutes! Significant improvement in ride with my 6000lb (loaded) lance camper on a F450.
Excellent product works great.
Same as front review
Easy install took about 20 minutes on my 2017 Ram 3500 SRW. Had about 1/2 inch clearance as recommended. Loaded up my 5th wheel (2350 hitch weight) and about 200 lbs of gear in the bed. Just got back from a 800 mile camping trip through mountains of TN. You can really feel the difference around those sharp corners and uneven surfaces. The truck felt firm and controlled not hard and jarring as some have mentioned. Going over those overpasses with the wonderfully smooth (Not) joists was greatly improved. The truck would squat and rebound again, with a firm controlled response. Driving without a load felt the same as before without them. I would highly recommend these! Ordering from etrailer continues to be my go to option!
The product came very fast. I already installed it the same day on my 2009 Dodge Ram pickup. It looks like it should do a fantastic job. I'll know better when I hitch up my travel trailer.
Took about 45 minutes to install. But that was 2 trips into the house cause my deep drive sockets were buried. F-350 gasser with 8’ box, Fiberglas cap, 200lb wooden storage drawers and estimated 400lbs in tools. I tow a 14k bumper pull dump that squats the truck. I installed the spacer with the timbrens and it sits on the original axle stop. Ride quality is unknown as I haven’t driven it yet.
I bought the timbren SES 121474110. I am not really satisfied with how these helped my trucks towing stance. The truck tows the same. I carry an in bed tank with 50 gallons of fuel in addition to the 35 gallon fuel tank from factory. The truck rides the timbrens the whole time. Thats okay, my problem is that the truck squats the same amount with these when I hook up my car trailer. The truck still goes straight down to the load leaves (pretty heavily squatted) the same as before. Did I get a light duty version? dont feel these meet the 6,000 Ibs capaticy as advertized. I think I should have gotten air bags. The product was well made. so they still get 2 stars. Just not what I thought it should have been.
I know it will be lovely when loaded or the trailer on. However,it rides like a wagon empty with brand new premium shocks and struts empty. Thud thud thud. You really cannot feel the shocks or suspension. Found exact same item plentiful for 60 bucks on eBay after I bought these for 250. I may cut these in half or put air bag on. I do not like the ride empty. No hard feelings. It is a good product maybe just not for me.
Installation was a breeze, removed old bump stops installed Timbrens in about 30 minutes. Haven’t put a load on them yet so I’ll update later. Installed on a 2008 Silverado 2500HD..
Was able to install these with a 15mm flex head ratchet wrench and lifted the rear of the truck to make it easier. 30 minutes to take off 4 nuts and put em back on. 2 minutes assembling the timbrens with the added spacer. I have a f350 with a salter and plow. Loaded with salt the lights shoot up and in the snow ?? it’s like hitting hyper drive and you’re blinded. These helped big time. Very happy so far.
Out of the box fit !!
Only issue I had was keeping the wedge from moving during installation
The pro: The longer, heavier bump stops worked great when hauling my mustang home from Chicago. The truck stayed level and handled great.
The con: I had to remove the bump stops for everyday use. They limited my suspension travel causing a stiffer ride.
I am so glad I bought these for my truck. I was able to install them myself using a jack and jackstands. The ride is bit rougher now; but the suspension is totally awesome compared to before. I am able to haul a bit more weight when needed.
very good product ,received just in time and fit perfectly on my GMC savana 2000 .Be sure to clean the two receptacle thats help.
très bon produit , reçu dans les délais et s'ajuste parfaitement . Assurez-vous de nettoyer le receptacle cela facilite l'installation.
After successfully using air shocks with on board compressor on our 2001 F250 for years, I almost automatically put the same setup on our new 2022 F250. We tow an 11k lbs travel trailer. Then I read reviews on Timbren Suspension Solution & thought, worse case I’ll end up with both solutions. After spending 20 minutes installing Timbren and towing the trailer a few miles, it became obvious I didn’t need air shocks, or anything else. The truck & trailer drive as one. Our rig is level and rides great. When the trailer is unhitched, the Timbren’s aren’t engaged - just a normal F250 ride.
The Timbren rear suspension bump stops are the best by far. I installed this unit on a 3rd gen Toyota Tacoma which became an essential item for safety towing purposes.
The main reason for purchasing this product was for aided support for towing. This is essential for those who tow boats, tear drop trailers or medium sized campers.
The stock bump stops are relatively small in size which is standard for other vehicle manufacturers however Timbren's bump stop are made with such high quality material and craftsmanship.
This also helps in preventing in stressing the front suspension from becoming raised which can affect your steering when your towing. The Timbren bump stops also helps in preventing your rear suspension from the "sagging effect" which can cause stress to your tires.
I recommend that when you install the bumps stops, check the lugs every quarter or depending on frequent you tow, to include tightening the lugs with a torque wrench to ensure it's torue specification(s).
This product has given me peace of mind when traveling long distances and when camping off the grid. Timbren also has good customer support service however etrailer has paramount customer service as well.
