Will Timbren Suspension Help Level a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser That Has More Weight on Passenger Side

Question:

Just bought a 2007 FJ Cruiser, its 4 wheel drive but only when you choose to engage 4Hi mor 4Lo, most of the time its in 2Hi. I noticed when I took 2 office guys to lunch with me, they were both on the passenger side one heavy guy-250lbs and one 200lb guy right behind him. The car leaned heavily to that side. Will these front and rear rubber springs help level this out?

The Timbren suspension enhancement will replace the axle bump stops on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. They will work independently front and rear, and side to side. So, when you are carrying a heavier load on the passenger side of the vehicle it will compress the hollow rubber spring and become more rigid as the load is applied. This will help keep the vehicle from leaning heavily to that side. It will not affect the empty ride of your FJ Cruiser.

The Timbren suspension has a weight capacity of 1,800 lbs and is designed to work with a suspension system that is in good working order.

For your FJ Cruiser you will use the Timbren Front Suspension, part # TTOFTAC4A, and the Timbren Rear Suspension, part # TTORSEQ. I am including links to the installation instructions on both front and rear systems.

Also, I am including links to a couple of videos on how the Timbren suspension works and it being installed on a vehicle.
