Specs:
Timbren's Active Off-Road Bumpstops provide off-road enthusiasts with greater control over their vehicle's suspension travel. Using progressive-rate springs means that instead of a hard stop at the end of axle travel, the axle energy will be absorbed when bottoming out, producing smooth, predictable, and quiet axle engagement and disengagement. The progressive rubber springs absorb the harsh jolt at the end of axle travel, giving you a gentle ride the whole time.
Unlike your factory bumpstops, Timbren's bumpstops are constructed of a superior natural rubber compound, ensuring the bumpstops will continue to operate even after a lifetime of off-road abuse. And the steel brackets and disks are laser cut before they are painted with a durable, long-lasting powder coat finish to ensure protection and long life.

Hi there, I'm Michael with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna take a quick look at this airlift 1000 air helper spring set for your rear coil springs. And these are going to install inside the rear coil springs of your 2014 through 2023 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk. These are gonna help support your Trailhawk's existing rear coil spring suspension when you're hauling or towing to help improve safety and ride quality. As you're likely aware, if you put a lot of weight on the back end of your Trailhawk, it oftentimes will squat or sag. That can be pretty stressful on your rear suspension system, can also bring your front end up, causing uneven tire wear, making your steering kind of light and bringing your headlights up into a unsafe range.
So leveling your system out is gonna be a great option to make sure that everything's gonna be very safe for you and give you a little bit more control as well as comfort. And these are gonna do a great job. Like I said, they will install inside your springs which can be kind of difficult. Now you've got to spread your coils out a bit to get these kind of squeezed in place. You'll just kind of squeeze all the air out of 'em, get 'em into a compressed fitting, and then try and squeeze them in between those coils, which I'm not gonna lie to you, it can be kind of challenging.
But once you get them installed, they are gonna do a great job for you giving you that leveling capacity and make sure that as you're putting weight on your Trailhawk, it's going to give you the option to add more air for heavier loads or let air out so you can accommodate lighter loads and that sort of thing. These do have a load leveling capacity of up to 1000 pounds. Now when you hear that, it's very tempting to think that means it's going to increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity by 1000 pounds, that's not the case. There's no suspension enhancement system on the market that's going to increase your vehicle's weight carrying capacity. So think of it less like a second set of hands that's helping you lift more weight, think of it more like a back brace.
So it's there to just kind of help take some of that strain off your factory suspension, help it to last longer for you, take less of a toll on it. It's also going to again, help with that leveling your setup. So your tires are gonna wear more evenly. You're not gonna have your headlights in the eyes of oncoming traffic. It'll be down on the road where it needs to be so that you can see.
So it's gonna help to correct all those issues that come along with your vehicle squatting under that heavy weight. As I said, you can add or deflate, add air or take air out to adjust for your load. These will air out from five PSI minimum up to 35 PSI so that you can get that even load distribution front to rear, you can also inflate these individually for side to side leveling. So if you've got a really heavy toolbox or something on one side, you can air that bag up to give you more support on that side so that you get everything level like you need. These are made here in the USA of a very durable molded polyurethane. So they are gonna hold up well for you. They come with a lifetime warranty and a 60 day satisfaction guarantee. So you will be able to see or tell the difference just getting them installed. You should be able to see that leveling capacity out for you. These are a manual inflation so typically you run the line here out to the back bumper so that you can easily add air. There are in-cab gauges and compressor systems that would allow you to do that automatically. They can add air, depending on how much weight you're gonna be carrying, you can fill them up or let air out from the comfort of your cab. Otherwise, with the manual system, you'll kind of have to be a little bit inconvenienced. Anytime you need to add air, you'll need to find a pump, at a gas station or something like that or let air out. So there might be a little bit more work involved. But if you're wanting to have a little extra convenience, you can add on that compressor system and monitor. Otherwise, these will just work just fine on their own. So that's just kind of an add-on that you can consider for yourself. But overall, great option here for your Trailhawk. Make sure that everything's gonna be level as you're towing or hauling those heavy loads. And that completes our look for today. Again, I'm Michael with etrailer.com, thanks for watching.

Replace your rear factory bumpstops and enjoy greater control over your vehicle suspension when travelling off-road. U-bolt flip kit allows for additional ground clearance.
These definitely do the job in my xterra whether it’s hooking up a heavy trailer or just stopping the bottoming out these vehicles can experience. Easy install would recommend 100%
Can't wait to pull my RV trailer again and see less squat in the backend of my Raptor!! These are going to make a difference.
Ordered for my 2010 Toyota Tundra. Parts came quickly and had them installed in about 20 minutes. Just needed a good vehicle jack and impact wrench and was very easy. These have greatly reduced the sag when pulling my camper and very satisfied.
The factory bump stops were harsh. These engage sooner and while firm they do not crash like the OEM.
Easy install.
Very easy to install, haven't traveled with trailer yet but will be traveling in April.
These do what they're built to do. I overland a lot so when the truck gets weighed down with gear she tends to squat a little and when I go through bumpy areas the factory stops would slam the frame. No any more with these Active Bump Stops. A much smoother ride and less body roll when cornering.
While towing my boat (2021 Tracker Pro Guide V-175/Mercury 115 ProXS, ~3,200lbs) in my 2021 Toyota 4Runner SR5 Premium, I noticed a significant rear squat. Additionally, fellow motorists would flag me for “high beaming” when I was not. This squatting in the rear raised the front end and subsequent headlight alignment. After much research and review, I purchased the Timbren SES and installed it. With the vehicle hitch unloaded, the SES rides approximately 1.250” above the rear axel. With the boat loaded onto the hitch, the Timbren SES contacts the axel and holds the load firmly, maintaining a level vehicle. I was pleasantly surprised to see that the ride was not greatly effected. Matter of fact, the vehicle rides much better while towing than before installing the SES. With the 3rd row seating in use, and the vehicle full of passengers, the rear passengers complained of a very bumpy ride and I noticed a very rough feel with hard bumps from the rear. After installing the Timbren SES, even with the boat on the hitch and the vehicle fully loaded, my 4Runner remains level and the ride is substantially improved. If you have 3rd row seating and/or plan on towing ANYTHING with your 4Runner, you absolutely need the Timbren SES. Installation is a breeze. Easiest accessory you’ll ever upgrade.
Easy install, Nissan Xterra. Love that it came with all the hardware because I had to knock all existing hardware out with a hammer and chisel. I used four additional washers I had so I could put one inside the frame and one on the bumpstop mount. Etrailer shipped fast and free, bumpstops arrived ahead of schedule. Highly recommend these mounts, night and day difference.
They work well towing a heavey trailer.
Well after used the Chat online with Carol I ordered. Paid for 2 day shipping. Got it in 2 days.
Total install time 1 hour.
I had these on my Tacoma and liked the way they worked so much that I got a set for my new to me Tundra. You don't notice anything until you put a load on the truck. Then you feel more stable under load and don't have to worry as much about the leaf springs. The install was done in 15 minutes
They seem to perform just fine, absorbing bumps and impacts etc. However they collect water like little buckets and the bolts are clearly corroding on the inside of the bumpstops since they have no drainage. Adding a way for water to escape faster than evaporation would be a good improvement to the product!
Work great, save my air bags from getting pinched if I let them get deflated.
My 2013 4runner was squatting in the rear when I coupled my 6X12 motorcycle trailer. I was very happy to have found the Timbren bump stop to simply bolt on and fix the problem. However.....during the installation I noticed I had to use ALL of the adjustment slot on the unit to TRY to center on the rear axle. I oriented the units as far towards the rear as the adjustment would allow.
When I coupled my trailer to the 4runner it correctly forced the Timbren bump stop to contact the axle and this is where the problem is.
The Timbren bump stop CAN NOT be adjusted far enough towards the rear to accomplish a centering on the axle. There is a 25% overhang of the bump stop on the axle front. When I communicated with Timbren about this they said" it's a good installation and it's ok". It is not ok.
Imagine that all of the force of a fully loaded truck will be negotiating curves, potholes, swoops and other hazards of the road at highway speeds. All of this stress is distributed on 75% of the product. It can't work as well as if it was 100% distribution. I felt the product was overpriced to begin with. After paying a premium price I expected a custom proper fit.
I can't recommend this product for Toyota 4runner owners.
Fit was well, but had some paint chipped off from transit.
Installation was a breeze! Followed the instructions and lifted the truck up using a jack under my hitch, loosened the u-bolts, removed the factory bump stops and installed the timbrens! Took 5 minutes for each side, and 5 minutes to setup and take down setup. 15 minutes max. Very easy to do. I believe I am going to need a 1” spacer as I have 1.5” Icon add-a-leaf packs in order to get them to engage while towing.
easy to install - might want to let installers know you don't need to remove rear tires or jack the vehicle up (safety first!) on the Tundra. Just remove the 3 oem 12mm bolts on each side and replace the itty-bitty oem bump stops with your nice Timbren's (17mm bolt head and nut).
I Install this product on the front and back of my 1994 toyota land cruiser ,I realy like them , we explore the Baja peninsula in MEXICO the off road land is very ruff , this bumpstop realy work . the don't crash in to my diferencial any more
I have had Timbrens on several trucks! I always thought they worked great! I plan on putting these on a new Tacoma, which I will not yet until the end of September so I hope they fit! They are a very good product otherwise I would not use them!
I had no problems with the installation. It only took about 15 minutes to put these on! There is adjustment space on the brackets to let u be able to center product over rear axles. The pictures below show the product installed while my 4 runner is both raised up for installation and after lowering it down. When lowered down and jack removed I have about an inch clearance.
Very effective upgrade and install wasn’t to bad either. Highly recommended! 2003 Toyota Tundra.
Very easy to install.
It only took less then 30 minutes to install, What a big improvement!! Installed on a 2022 Toyota Tacoma Off Road, towing a 2018 Coachman Ultra Lite, 5900 lbs.
These bump stops are amazing, the ensure any contact made with the axle is hardly noticeable. I highly recommend these if your stock bump stops are just rubber covered steel blocks like the ones on my Xterra were.
Fast shipping! Product as described.
