Specs:
Whether you're hauling heavy loads in the cargo area or by pulling a trailer, you will often see the rear sag while the front end rises. In these cases, the rear axle is handling not only the weight of the cargo, but more of the truck's weight, as well. 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 has a custom-fit bracket that will be 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, one inch 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 the truck level.
Each hollow rubber spring works independently to support the driver's 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 the truck. 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.
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.

Ideal for trucks with slide-in campers or an in-bed salt spreader.I don't know what I thought this was, but, it definitely was not that. In my mind, this is just a fancy spring stop that replaces the one supplied by the manufacturer. Because of the thickness, my truck bottomed out more and quicker than with the factory stops. I had in my head (from reading from others) that this would help the suspension softness. It did not.
I ended up putting airbags on the truck. It had weaker springs due to age (2005 model) and the stop would not help that. The airbags were a blessing. They eliminated the too-soft ride. Had I put the airbags on first, I doubt I would have ever put this product on. (Although we did find out that the factory stops were worn out and needed replacement.)
I can not, and will not, degrade this product as it is well made and it was exactly as it was advertised. It just was not the product that I needed. Make sure what you need BEFORE you buy.
The overload boosters made a big difference in my truck’s ability to handle a truck bed camper. Works well!
Truck rides like a go-cart after installation. The ses is resting on the axle when truck is unloaded. Not happy at all.
Everything arrived as promised been towing with the product a week or so really helps with truck Sway and bounce
They are great when you are loaded heavy or towing. They destroyed my pickups ride when empty. I have considered airbags ever since I installed them.
i was pleasantly surprised to how easy installation was
Quality,super fast shipping. Never any problems.
No instructions were included. I tried to find something on line but I couldn't find anything that looked like my kit.

Review from a similar Timbren Aeon Spring System in Vehicle Suspension
The hardest part was the de-installation of the factory bump stop. Installation of the Timbren’s was simple and easy.
My truck is 2008 F250 V10 Crew Cab 4x4 with factory overload springs. I have a B&W fifth wheel & gooseneck hitch installed. I did notice the difference in towing my 34’ fifth wheel trailer. The ride and handling was improved. I would recommend them.
Review from a similar Timbren Aeon Spring System in Vehicle Suspension
About a 1/2 inch difference in gap at the bump stop perch but still within parameters. Truck sits perfect with trailer attached. Haven’t towed yet. After towing if they perform like they should will upgrade to a 5 star. Easy to install, definitely needed 2x4 and jack. 2011 Silverado ext cab with 30 ft Genisis 5th wheel.
