6,000-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. Easy to install and use.

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.

6,000-lb Capacity. These hollow rubber springs sit above the rear axle to help stabilize and level your vehicle. They also provide a more comfortable ride by absorbing road shock and improving roll stability. Easy to install and use.ordered over the phone and got a very nice lady that was very helpful. was feeling like crap so took a few days to open box up and found out only half was there no bolts only one top mounting piece and only one rubber spring part. but i got two big rubber washer things
These are fantastic and I would highly recommend them. I placed these on my 1995 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins after I put my slide in camper on. It eliminated almost all of the body roll and tightened the suspension up progressively . Very good product and easy to install.
Installed on a 1996 Ram 2500 and it helped tremendously towing my dump trailer. The truck is a little more bouncy unloaded now but I do not mind.

I am still very pleased with the product! I tow 5 ton of stone in my dump trailer and it dramatically reduced, sway and squat in the truck. I recommend these over the air ride version because I did not want to cut my fender liner for those.
I'll admit I was a bit skeptical at first at how well these would work, but I wanted my truck to ride a bit more level when loaded. I am a firm believer in simpler is better, and the Timbren system seemed pretty simple. Installation was a breeze, the hardest part was unbolting the factory bump stops to add the Timbrens, as age had rusted the bolts a bit. Once I got the old bump stops out, installation was simple and straightforward, taking maybe 45 minutes total using only hand tools. You have a choice to use the Timbrens alone, or to add little spacers behind them, for greater load assistance. I chose not to use them because I rarely load my truck to the max; I only wanted a little help with the occasional heavy load and didn't want to sacrifice ride quality.
I would say 90% of the time, I am unaware they are even there, except that the truck rides much more level with a heavy load, and with less 'sway' on uneven roads. Empty ride is unaffected, fully loaded ride feels the same, just with less rear end squat. Partial loads give a slightly firmer ride, enough to notice but without being objectionable.
Easy installation, zero problems/issues after a year, and almost no effect in ride quality. Factor in easy installation and a reasonable price, and I give a 5 star rating. Fully satisfied for the price.
Highly recommend for anyone towing. Leaf springs were flattened out prior to install. Swapped the bump stops out for Timbrens in a campground before making a 1000+ mile trip home. They work amazing leveled the truck out while towing and absorb the bad bumps.

I would absolutely buy the Timbren SES again if I didn’t already have them. No issues after a year.
These work perfectly for my multiple trucks and trailer with loads. A bit stiff if hitting bumps such as going over speed bumps or onto/off of uneven bridges with uneven surface but all in all work as they should.

Absolutely EXCELLENT!! A must have for my uses.
Excellent customer service
Seems to have taken a lot of the roughness out of bumps and washboard dirt roads
I bought these to help improve he ride of my tow vehicle 02 ram 2500 4x4 while towing my fifth wheel. They had the exact opposite effect. Took all he suspension travel out of rear of he truck when I hooked up. Had on for less than 1 trip. Took off at the campground. Would not buy again. Can not recommend.

The Timbren Aeon springs work best on vehicle suspensions that are in good repair. If the shocks or leaf springs on the vehicle are worn, the springs wont perform as designed.
As always, etrailer processed and shipped my order expeditiously and it arrived in great shape. Upon installation, I thought that I may have ordered the incorrect size, but a quick chat with the Timbren rep and some more careful measuring allayed those fears. With an empty bed, the Timbrens are not engaged and allow the stock suspension to operate as designed. With the camper loaded, the Timbrens are preloaded and prevent the rear of the truck from sagging and significantly reduced the feeling of a light front end. Truck drives better and maintains a good level stance. While air bags may be better at tuning how level, the Timbrens are less expensive and don't require the plumbing and compressed air. Simple and effective.
I’ve had the Timbren suspension enhancement system for a year now on my ‘99 Dodge 1500 4x4. I purchased this product because I had to tow my bumper pull three horse trailer from South Carolina to N. Central Montana. With a camper top, the bed loaded and the trailer loaded the truck sagged really bad. With the Timbrens on the sag went away completely. Making for a much safer less stressful experience while towing.
These make excellent additions to any truck that plans on towing a travel trailer or heavy boat. I have a fairly light travel trailer (4500 lbs) but all the additional gear and water, propane, etc adds up quick. Before I installed these on my 2008 Dodge Ram I was not very comfortable towing everything, especially up a steep hill. I could feel a lot of play in the steering wheel from rear sagging so much. I installed these before my next trip and it took me about 30 minutes. There were existing rubber springs but not nearly as long. I was able to reuse the nuts from these so I did saved myself from threading the new ones through the frame. If you are on the fence because of the price, do not hesitate to get these.
Installed very quickly on a 95 Dodge Ram 2500. Our truck has a dump insert so it is easy to make the truck squat. With the Timbren kit the truck is 1-3/4" inches higher with a full load.
Im amazed the first time in a long time a product I ordered worked exactly like it said it would, all parts there, easy to install. What a great buy.
Installation would have been a snap, had I not had to deal with rusted bolts on a 12 year old Dodge Ram1500! For those who are thinking of installing these on older vehicles, get CRC Freeze-Off. It helped with 3 of the 4 bumpstop bolt...because of impatience, I broke one off. I tried drilling out the broken bolt, but it was getting dark and I wanted to be done. So, I just broke out the welder and put a couple of beads on it! I have yet to take it on the road loaded with the ATV while pulling a camper but I am sure it will work well. I bought this because I saw reviews and pictures of those who installed it to eliminate squat on their 1500's while pulling a 5th wheel. My application will be a lot less! Great stuff Etrailer!
Product fit as advertised and Etrailer again was a pleasure to do business with!

Still works great, glad I made the investment
Took my 2007 Dodge Ram to a local shop to have Timbrens installed. I watched the sales man look up the price on his monitor. He then quoted me an installation charge of over $150, so I called etrailer and asked how hard they were to install myself. They walked me through installation and shipped the product to my door. Installation was so easy that I didn't even finish my second beer. Thanks etrailer for saving me over $150.
This is much easier than dealing with air bags that need inflating/deflating. Great product.
VERY easy to install. Just remove the old axle stops and screw these in. I had air springs in my old tow vehicle and they were a pain. These are the way to go if you are looking for suspension support.
These are the perfect replacement for bump stops on my 2001 2500 Dodge. Quality pieces at a great price from etrailer!
The Timbren rear ES work great. They do not effect the ride of the vehicle until the vehicle is loaded. It took me 20 minutes to install on my 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. Etrailer shipped fast A+ company.
Timbren Suspension EnhancementProduct was exactly as it was described. Arrived to me on time. Was very easy to install only took about 15 minutes to install them. Bought a new 7 by 16 trailer to tow with my Dodge Ram 1500. Improved the ride and got rid of the rough bouncing that uneven roads produce. Would recommend to anyone who hauls things with there truck on a regular basis.
Greatly improved ride and sway with slide in camper.
Delivery was on the day Timbren said , the install went as well was possible two hours or so, as the description on etrailer web page. Haven't tested the ride with camper on as of yet. Tbc
Very easy installation using videos as a guide.
