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.

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. And today, we're gonna take a look at this Timbren rear axle suspension enhancement system. Now, this is a custom fit part that is designed to fit the 2019 to 2021 GMC Sierra 1500 two-wheel and four-wheel drive. And then the 2022 and newer GMC Sierra 1500 Limited two-wheel and four-wheel drive. And then the 2019 to 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 two-wheel and four-wheel drive.
And finally, the 2022 and newer Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Limited two-wheel and four-wheel drive. To confirm if this kit will work for your vehicle, please take advantage of our vehicle fit guide found on our website, etrailer.com. Input the year, make and model of your vehicle. And that fit guide will let you know if this will work for your vehicle. Now, these hollow rubber springs with an 8,600 pound capacity are going to sit above your rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle.
They are going to improve your suspension, handling, and safety. Now, these springs also provide additional support as needed, so you always have a smooth, comfortable ride, allowing the leaf spring ample movement while cushioning light loads. They're going to ride just as smoothly when you're not hauling a load. And they become more rigid as more weight is added for great performance when you're hauling a heavy load. Also increases stability and reduces vehicle sag.
They do work independently, adjusting side to side, helping compensate for off-center loads and reducing body roll when swerving and turning corners. These springs also act as shock absorbers, taking the brunt of bumps and rough roads, thereby extending the life of your vehicle suspension. Now, this kit includes everything that you see on my table before me. You're gonna get two Aeon hollow rubber springs and the custom fit brackets and hardware for simple installation. And you're also gonna get instructions to guide you step by step.
They're gonna install directly onto your frame. No drilling is required. Again, the capacity is 8,600 pounds but it is important to note that these Timbren springs will not increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So, you wanna make sure that you do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended weight limit. And these do also have a lifetime warranty. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy. Thank you for joining me..

Well made product, which arrived quicker than expected. etrailer’s customer service responded quickly when I asked if this would fit my truck. I am a fan of etrailer and appreciate their support and service.
Unfortunately this product does not work for my vehicle. I purchased these to augment the amount of squat my 2020 1500 Denali has when pulling a camper. Once installed and the camper hooked up we experienced a complete bottoming out of the vehicle even on the smallest of bumps. We had to remove the Timbren’s immediately.
For those of you who own a GMC Denali equipped with a magnet suspension, this product will not work for you. To date, I have looked at many options and have not found one that will fit this vehicle.
i thought they were too stiff, im not using them

I reached out to the manufacturer to confirm if the magnetic suspension made a difference in fitment and they said it doesnt. So it sounds like these do fit like they should, which is good. To your point though, they are very stiff and unless your truck has a slide on camper or is carrying a tank of water or a similar scenario, these are most likely too heavy duty, which would explain the uncomfortable ride. I think you would like part # SS45FR. It has a similar install and work the same way but they are softer so it will still support your suspension without you feeling every little bump and crevice in the road.
