Timbren 1" Spacer For Raised Frame Vehicles - 3/8" Bushing

I updated my leaf springs recently and now when I hook up my trailer the timbres don’t engage anymore. The back is now 2 inches higher. So I got 4 1” spacers and put them on. Now I have a one inch space like I used to have. They seem to work great. The hardest thing on installing them was to get the old rusted bolts loose. Also needed 2.5” 3/8-16 flathead bolts for my install. They are a little harder to find and I could only find them with a slotted head.1738243

This is an excellent product that helped level my 4runner while pulling my travel trailer. By preventing the back end from sagging, the front wheels stay fixed to the road for proper steering. I believe the 3/8 bushing was too small and I required 1/2 inch instead. Kaylyn at etrailer.com went above and beyond their normal customer service and got me in touch with the sales rep for Timbren, who promptly sent me the right size in time to make my big trip. He worked with me to find the right size for my after-market lift kit. In a time that companies are indifferent at best, etrailer.com makes the customer feel important in a sincere way. I also love e.trailer's selection and fast shipping.828496

With our 2007 Tundra we pull a 2016 Lance twin axle travel trailer. Lance advises a towing height of 20.5" from the road to the top of the ball hitch. To bring my Tundra up to the right height, I originally purchased etrailer Timbrens. However, after installing the Timbrens the Tundra was still too low. By adding this 1" spacer the height is now about 20.25". The pictures show the Tundra with just the Timbrens and then after adding the spacer. If you buy this product, you'll need to purchase longer Timbren bolts; etrailer mentions that on their video. I want to thank etrailer for providing great information and excellent products.358866

I have a 5.7 V8 Toyota Tundra. I run a dumpster rental and hauling company. I have Hellwig 2,500 pound helper springs and 6,000 pound Timbren shocks with the 1 inch Timbren spacer on the rear of my truck. Below is a picture of a 11,000 pound load hooked up to my tundra with 1,000 pounds in the truck bed as well. Zero squat. I love Timbrens products. Heavy duty. Perfect for my needs. They have a load on them 24/7/365 between the 1,000 pounds of tools and equipment in my truck bed and the very very heavy trailers I pull on a daily basis. Thank you Timbren! Have a trailer behind my Tundra daily. Power is NEVER an issue. It pulls like a diesel. Just needed to beef up the rear suspension a tad and this did just that. I'm all set now! Looking to get the front Timbrens sometime soon to. Not that I need them, more just a want. I do have a 400 pound HD winch bumper on the front of my truck but it's not causing any nose diving or anything. Just like the extra support provided by the Timbrens. Never hurts. 285783

These work fine with Sumo Springs, which is what I needed.1746395

So far so good, I added Sumo Springs to my 4runner, but I have a 2" lift, and needed 2 of these spacers on each side to keep the Sumo Springs at the proper distance from the axle,seem to be good quality.1286395

I have Timbrens and needed a spacer to improve the squat of my 2017 F150 after I bought a 2018 Lance 650 truck camper. Works perfectly. Rides great. 848766

These “overloads” are such a great answer to suspension needs! They are made with high grade materials and the installation was a snap! I would buy them again many times over! Don’t mess with air bags, compressors, air lines and all that “stuff.” These are the deal!! Pictures of before and after. Simple way to add significant suspension payload quickly with little fuss. 847464

Put these on my F350 towing a 15K pound 5th wheel to minimize squat, and after about 15K miles, I have been very happy with how they work. Super easy to install.1472661

I use this with the timbren SES for my 2016 Tacoma. I tow a 5500 pound trailer with 900 pound tongue weight. Truck squats maybe 1 inch and that's it...incredible. Ride quality while not towing is indistinguishable from stock other than there is a very noticeable reduction in body lean while cornering. I liken this to the same feeling as installing larger sway bars on a sports car. This is just st an added benifit if the timbren system. Highly recommend anything timbren puts out. Etrailer also has outstanding customer service. 368234

You don’t need these if you have a front end leveling kit on a Silverado 1500. It is too much. The Timbrens are installed at the frame and the extra half inch that far back on the a-arm makes the suspension way too stiff. On a fun note, going to take these out, I tripped backwards over the tire I had off my truck and ruptured my quadriceps tendon. Still recovering almost a year later.587725

These worked great. I needed at least 3/4 of an inch more Because my truck is lifted. Just needed to get longer bolts. 637255

Purchased item TGMRYS4 for my 2008 Tahoe 4x4, once installed I had a 3" gap between bellows and contact pad. Pulling my trailer made no difference with Timbren Bellows so I had to install the 1" spacers to come close to the recommended spacing from the instructions. After research I found out that Timbren TGMRYS4 fits multiple vehicles with different ride heights. I may still need the 1/2" spacer to comply with Timbrens recommendations of 1 1/2" clearance. GREAT product to fix issues like mine.493882

Got them for my 2021 2500hd Silverado I have a service body on this truck with all my tools, 100 gallon transfer tank and air compressor, I originally just had the timbrens on but I didn’t like how it had a little bit of squat, adding the inch it spacer was the ticket the truck has 2400lbs of payload on it all the time and it looks like it has no weight at all.1199834

These spacers are just what you need if your truck has been lifted. The product is well built and allowed me to get the correct spacing. They also coming in different diameters. The order was quickly shipped and worked as advertised.1283200

After a year, I am still very happy with the product. Really good value for the price. Especially compared to more expenseive options.

Etrailer is very easy to work with and their customer service is excellent. The Timbren SES is easy to install and seem to be a significant upgrade from the OEM parts!1117163

Product is of solid rubber construction ...and if you actually needed the spacers...it would work fine.
I have a 2015 F150 4x4 with a 1" lift in the rear of the truck & a 2 1/2" lift in the front of the truck. I asked etrailer "experts" what recommendations they had when I ordered the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System.
Due to my 1" lift, the "etrailer experts", recommended I also purchase and add these 1" spacers to the Suspension System Enhancement.
I watched their installation video where the experts suggested to leave a 1" space between the bumpstop system and the axle.
What I discovered is ...if I installed these spacers, the bumpstop was actually resting on the axle ..giving me a very stiff uncomfortable ride without any load in the truck.
Bottom line...for installs on a 2015 F150 4x4 with a 1" lift...NO SPACERS ARE REQUIRED....SAVE YOUR MONEY.
Without the 1" spacers, (with no load in the truck), I found the Rear Suspension Enhancement System rested 1" above the axle. I found the ride was better and the system will activate & perform once under a load. If you do decide to use the spacers make sure you order quantity "2". Don't assume they come in sets or you will be paying for another shipping charge when you order the second spacer. I hope this helps someone.236290
