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 Suspension Enhancement 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.

I was towing my 32 ft travel trailer using standard WdH and sway bar with my f150 and before installing Timbrens, my truck was all over the place forcing me to grip the wheel (white knuckle) and stress out. After installing Timbrens, the rear of the truck feels planted while towing and I can literally tow now with one finger where before, I would have to give my steering wheel the death grip. Added bonus is that I can carry heavier loads in my bed if needed without squat. I can also pull my 32ft Trailer to the dump at State parks without WdH (saves bit of time) while driving slowly. I love the daily drivability and Ecoboost power of my f150 and now it's a towing machine! I'm a happy Timbren customer, as I didn't want to trade for a 250 and now I don't have to.

Item: TFR1502D: 2 wheel drive Ford F-150
I haven't used my truck to pull our camper yet ... but soon, weather permitting.
The directions for installing this item on are terrible ... I had to make 3 calls to customer service on how to install and place the tabbed mounting bracket to the frame of my truck ... no one I talked to really knew. I see the picture as they are different, but wanted to be sure if I had done my install correctly.
I recommend the video on U-Tube ... it has good information and the video will walk you thru the install. Please update the video on this product and include specifically how to assemble and place the brackets to the frame of your vehicle.
Thank You
by: Robert09/12/2021
One year of ownership and I am still just as happy as day one. The best compliment I can give for this product is that I notice no difference without the trailer being hooked up - other companies suspension add on's would still be active making for a harsh ride or a lighter wallet if you want better ride quality. But the Timbren bumpers are not effecting my suspension when empty and have been a VERY cost effective solution for my needs - thanks etrailer for the great customer service with all the products recommended by your thoughtful staff.
Once my trailer is hooked up to my Gen-y hitch there is very little sag and a good portion of the suspension travel is left to absorb any bumps and potholes the Gen-y doesn't take care of. 10 thumbs up

As always, shipment was super-fast! Product installed easily and works as expected. I pull a 5th wheel with my F-150 w/ the " ECO-BOOST " engine. Made a huge difference in handling.

Helped out on load a great deal! Under a load the truck is much more solid ride.

I have been very satisfied that I choose this over air bags. With the max load tounge weight from a fifth wheel rv in the bed, the truck and rv are perfectly level. Happy camper!

2006 FordF-150
After reading all the great reviews about how great this company is and how this product will level my truck with a heavy load, I ordered. I installed the product and the ride was an unbearably jarring. I emailed customer service with my concerns and let them know that I thought it would be fair to contact them prior to writing a review to try to come up with a solution. Wayne called me back and as we discussed the issues, it came down to him identifying four things that I consider non-solutions. 1. I cannot return the product. 2. He let me know that if I had more weight in my truck the ride would probably be better. 3. I could sell them on Craigslist. 4. I could add a set of air-bags.
Airbags? These were suppose to be better than airbags. What a waste of money.

This system worked out really well on my 2013 F150 XLT Crew Cab v8. I needed to remove the top rubber spacer, but afterwards, I have plenty of suspension travel for normal driving and good suspension control when towing. This reduced the "dolphining" I experienced while towing. Highly recommend this system for towing heavy loads. Also, recommend the Superchips programmer (towing tune) to round out your towing package.

Ordered Sunday, received Friday. Love the service of etrailer and will continue to use them. Put the timbrens on my heavy 1/2T F150 and they went on like a charm. Used the spacer and got 1" of clearance, well within the requirements. This should take the sag out of towing my fifth wheel trailer.

2014 FordF-150
I installed these on a 2014 F150 to cure the sag when attaching my 14' cargo trailer. They installed easily and after using them for a year I can say they've leveled things right out. I also can't detect any noticeable degrading of the ride when not towing. I'm very pleased.

2010 FordF-150
I purchased the Timbren rear kit for my 2010 F150. I occasionally haul two motorcycles and wanted to get rid of the sag. The install could not be any easier. My truck required the extra bushings that are included, this gave me the recommended space between the axle and the bushing. Perfect fit, no issues. Great service from etrailer, ordered on sunday and package arrived Wednesday using the free shipping option.

I purchased these to help with the squat on my F-150 when towing my 32--foot travel trailer. I need to tweak the setup on my WDH, but otherwise am very pleased. Without the trailer, you don't even know they're there.
by: Jeremy 04/04/2020
These stop the sag/bounce back significantly. You can definitely feel that these are working when you hit a bump in the road. Helps stop the "floating" feeling

Install on a 2008 Ford F150 was very easy. I removed the old bump stops and installed these right into the existing hole. Perfect fit. Heavy duty. Worth the money.

- Recommended Suspension Enhancement To Reduce Sag When Towing Trailer With 2012 Ford F-150If you have sag at the back of your 2012 F-150 when towing a load that stays pretty consistent then the best way to help with that is by installing suspension enhancement like part # TFR1504D for a 4-wheel drive or part # TFR1502D if you have a 2-wheel drive truck. These are rubber springs that do not effect the ride of your truck when it is not under load but when towing will become more rigid to help add additional support. Air springs like part # F2525 are a better for your truck when...

What will work for air bag kits will be # AL88385 for a 4x4 or # AL57268 for a 2-wheel drive model. I have included links to the instructions so you can see that the brackets will not interfere. You can also use a Timbren kit, # TFR1504D for a 4x4 or # TFR1502D for a 2x4. The benefit of these systems is that there...
view full answer... - Timbren Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2010 Ford F-150 Towing a Horse TrailerThe Timbren suspension enhancement system # TFRTT1502D is designed for service vehicles (fire trucks, ambulances, utility trucks) but not regular trucks. For your 2010 Ford F-150 you would want to go with the 6K system # TFR1502D that you referenced. It will work well with your horse trailer. Even though the trailer is more than the 6K capacity of the system, the tongue weight of the trailer that pulls the truck down is much less so the system will be very effective. I have included a link...
view full answer... - Can Timbren Helper Springs be Installed on a 2007 Ford F-150 with a Slight LiftYes you can still use Timbren helper springs # TFR1502D on your lifted 2007 Ford F-150. The springs only attach at the top to the truck frame. There are 1 inch spacers included with the kit which you will likely need to use with the lift on your truck. Without the spacers the truck would have to sag more before the springs made contact with the axle.

For your 4WD F-150 I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System item # TFR150D. This system has a 6,000 lbs weight capacity and will definitely help to address the sagging you are feeling when your truck is loaded down.
view full answer... - Installation of a Timbren Vehicle Suspension on a 2014 Ford F-150Most likely there is a bolt holding the factory bump stop on your 2014 F-150. You simply raise your truck up off the ground and use a 13mm socket to remove the bolt. Take a look at the video I included to see the removal of the bump stop and installation of the suspension, even though it's on a 2010 F-150 and different Timbren suspension # TFR1504D. Once done, you will be ready to install the new Timbren rear suspension enhancement # TFR1502D you referenced. Ideally, the amount of space...

Most fifth wheel brackets block the frame and it is not recommended to install the Ride-Rite kits on top of fifth wheel brackets.

- Can Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 41933 for 2006 Ford F-150 Support Loaded Joe Hauler Motorcycle CarrierThe Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 41933 has a tongue weight capacity of 1,000 pounds. But you will want to check the owners manual for your 2006 Ford F-150 to determine its capacity. Whichever is lower, the truck or the hitch, is the capacity you need to go by. In order to be able to carry the motorcycle and the carrier you will need a tongue weight capacity of at least 675 pounds based on the weights you have provided.

view full answer... - Rear Suspension Enhancement System Recommendation for a 2011 Ford F-150 Crew CabMany people use suspension enhancement systems when towing trailers, including myself. Determining which type of suspension enhancement is best for you will depend on your needs and preferences. Since you mentioned towing a trailer, I would look into a jounce bumper replacement style system like the Timbren or Firestone Work-Rite systems. At this time, there are no SumoSprings options for your 2011 Ford F-150, but a system like the Timbren Springs, # TFR1504D (for 4WD) or # TFR1502D (for...
view full answer... - Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2014 Ford F-150 with 2 inch DropWe have suspension enhancement that is a fit for your 2014 Ford F-150 and is also designed for vehicles that have between a 2 inch and 6 inch drop like what you have, but there aren't any solutions from Timbren for that. Instead you'd want the Air Lift SlamAir kit part # AL59210. This gives you a way to provide additional suspension support that's adjustable.

- Weight Distribution System Recommendation for a 2013 Ford F-150 Towing 8500 lb TrailerActually for towing a trailer as heavy as yours I have a better solution than suspension enhancement. Instead you would want a weight distribution system. Not only will weight distribution help prevent rear suspension sag like the suspension enhancement, but it will also move part of the tongue weight of the trailer up to the front axle of the trailer which will help with braking and handling unlike suspension enhancement. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base...

I spoke with SumoSprings and they said it is perfectly fine to add on another # CSS-1168 if the first one isn't getting all the sag under control. That being said, as the Timbren # TFR1502D is designed to work on a 2004 to 2014 Ford F-350, I cannot recommend it as a fit. If this does not fix your issue, however, you will most likely need to use a weight distribution...

Since you have a Draw-Tite hitch we can scratch this one off and look at kit # F2525. Kit # F2525 has brackets that mount to the outsides, bottoms, and a little on the insides of the truck frame rails on your 2013 Ford F-150.

When the trailer is hitched up, and the Equal-I-zer weight distribution system is used the trailer is locked into place behind the trailer, more or less forced to track along behind the truck. Ruts or undulations in the pavement can cause the rear truck axle to sway a bit, which causes the yaw you mentioned. Roadmaster offers a rear anti-sway bar, part # RM-1139-177 that will keep the rear truck axle perpendicular...

They will tend to work against one another.

You should find that when loaded with either cargo in the bed of your truck or towing a trailer that the rear does not sag as much. Bottom line, when unloaded you will not see difference in ride quality or height with the # TFR1502D installed in your vehicle.

These air springs will work with both 2 and 4 wheel drive 2014 stock height models with 5th wheel hitch brackets (Excludes SVT Raptor, FX2 and F-15 models after 2014). However, I would suggest a different and more cost effective approach. I would go with a Timbren Suspension System, which is highly rated among my coworkers. You will also have no worries about compatibility issues when you install them on...
view full answer... - Would Using an Air Bag System to Raise a Vehicle 1-1/2 Inches Cause Harsh Ride QualityIf you want to raise the ride height of a vehicle by 1-1/2 inches you would have to use quite a bit of air pressure. Enough pressure to cause a much noticeable rougher ride. The best overall solution I could recommend for you would be to contact the lowering kit manufacturer you used and see why your truck dropped more than the kit was advertised for. You may have done something wrong or they sent you the wrong parts as typically lowering kits are not off by almost 1-1/2 inches.

There isn't an exact dimension for what will work best as people have different preferences and some vehicle suspensions move more in general. Timbren likes to recommend 1 inch between the axle and the Timbren when the truck is unloaded. We have found that this works the best.

Their # F2542 had been tested with the B&W hitches, but not with anything from Reese. Because the F2542 mounts to the outside of the frame rail, I believe the install brackets for the Elite Series would interfere with the install of the airbag kit.

Suspension enhancement can help give you more support but if you are above the weight capacity of your vehicle suspension enhancement would not be enough to allow you to safely tow beyond that.
