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.

These have proven to the perfect solution for our '17 Ram 2500 flatbed. I installed them to support a lightweight (1k lbs) camper that became unsafe in strong crosswinds. The Timbrens have 100% solved the delayed sway problem, without affecting loaded ride quality. They have made the empty truck more harsh over around-town bumps. Just something to live with, not a big problems.

Before, my 2017 Ram 2500 (SRW) would wobble and shake between 35 and 0 mph. I installed them yesterday and it was just as easy as advertised. Today, I loaded my Lance 1130 and did a road test. After, I reached 75 mph and there was no vibration, rocking or squatting. Problem completely solved.

by: Billy 02/25/2023
I am very happy with me Timbren Suspension System, I have no sway when my Truck Camper is on the vehicle. The ride is comfortable and would recommend this product. I will say the ride when the truck is empty is not quite as smooth but the truck is an HD. I just air the tires down when I’m empty and it smooths the ride out.

2017 Ram 2500
Installation was simple except the instructions seem to be in error or conflict. One of the brackets is marked "left" for drivers side. The bottom of the bracket has a straight side and a rounded side. The directions and an installation video on this site say the straight side should be on the frame side. In this position the spring only has partial bearing on the existing plate on top of the axle. The bracket marked "left" has the rounded side on the frame side and this mounting position works the best to get full bearing of the spring on the existing plate on top of the axle.
by: Herb 12/24/2022
They went on pretty easy. Except having to deal with the emergency break line we had to disconnect but that’s not your fault. And the hole order and delivery was very easy and they arrived in quick time. I will order from you again. I’m very satisfied.

They did not fit right on my 2021 power wagon, I had to modify to make them line up with my differential and had to buy shorter mounting bolts for the bracket plus they where already used

My Timbrens work great. No adding or subtracting air for towing. No worries about air lines leaking or coming loose. Just hook up the 5th wheel and go. No muss, no fuss, no sag.
Very happy with the purchase process, best price, quick delivery.

Watched numerous videos highlighting the Timbren SES and how to install on my 2019 RAM 2500. It seemed like a good idea due to the fact I tow a 5th wheel RV that almost maxes out the payload limit on my truck. I had them installed as instructed, which included installing the spacers, by a local garage. The ride home was an eye opener. The ride was very stiff and it felt like every bump in the road was magnified. Fortunately a few of the videos I watched suggested the install minus the spacers. I returned to the garage and had the SES reinstalled without the spacers. The ride home again was much smoother. I can't wait to hitch up my 5th wheel and go camping knowing I have the Timbren SES installed to help cushion the suspension of my truck.

2020 Ram 2500
Installed on a 2020 Dodge 2500. The ride when empty is awful. Like riding in a wagon it is so stiff. I took out the round disk to give a little play between the stop and diff. Loaded my 4 Wheeler on a trailer and it was terrible. I hate to hook up my 34 foot toy hauler. I'm afraid the truck will beat me to death, it is so stiff.
Therebis absolutely no give here. I am surely disappointed and will remove these and try something else. Air bags

Bought them to remedy sway problem my rig (2020 Ram 2500 Hemi, with slide in camper) experienced recently. I was debating between add Timbren and a stronger sway bar. Decided to try Timbren first for cheaper price and ease of installation. Just returned from a camping trip from Tahoe last night without a single case of sway during 500 miles of driving. Highly recommend this product.

Installation was a breeze took about 20 minutes to install. I have a Travel Lite 840SBRX slide in camper on my 2015 RAM 2500 4x4 SB. My truck is lifted in the front for a level ride and when the camper was loaded it had little to no squat in the rear at all. The ride without a load is stiffer but not bad. Loaded with camper and they worked perfect. No roll in the corners and no porpoising.
by: Outwest07/26/2022
Very easy to install. Does exactly what they say it will do. I no longer experience the sag, roll, and sway that is associated with Ram 2500 coil suspension.

Easy to install like that a lot.
by: Kerry03/27/2022
2017 ram 2500 with coil springs. Wast of time, install with 1” spacer, truck road like a box of rocks, could feel every little bump, took 1” spacer off not much better at all, way to stiff of a ride, when you hit a bump you new it. Parts are already in box to go back. Not any fault or etrailer at all, they don’t make the product just sell it.

- Can I Use the Firestone RideRite Air Bags on a 2018 Ram 2500 with a Front Leveling KitEven with the leveling kit on the front of your 2018 Ram 2500, you'll still be able to use the Firestone Ride Rite Air Bags # F2615 on your rear axle and they're going to do a great job helping fight squat when you're towing your travel trailer. In regards to raising the rear of the truck and changing the hitch height, this shouldn't be an issue since they're being used to bring the truck back to stock height after the tongue weight of the trailer is put on; if your truck suspension is...
view full answer... - Does Timbren SES Kit TDRTT3500E Fit A 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon?I reached out to my contact at Timbren and the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TDRTT3500E you were looking at is indeed a confirmed fit for your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon. This kit provides 8000lbs of load leveling support to keep your truck from sagging when carrying a heavy payload, or towing a trailer. I included an installation video of the # TDRTT3500E for you to take a look at.
view full answer... - Which Timbren SES Do I Need for a 2017 Ram 2500The difference between the Timbren # TDR2500D and the # TDRTT3500E is that the TDRTT3500E are designed for commercial service trucks which will have a more beefy suspension system already and a slightly different frame. The TDR2500D is designed for the passenger vehicles like your 2017 Ram 2500, so this would be the Timbren SES you're looking for. Whether or not you have the off-road package on your 2017 Ram 2500 won't have any effect on which Timbren system you're using, so there's nothing...
view full answer... - Will the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Fit a 2015 Ram 2500 With Factory Air SuspensionYes, the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System is one of the very few suspension enhancement options that you have that will work on a 2015 Ram 2500 with the factory air suspension. That said, I would actually recommend the part # TDR2500D for your truck instead of the part # TDRTT3500E as these are more designed for service trucks or those with an in-bed camper.

With that being said, I think the better solution for your 2015 Ram 2500 are the Timbren # TDRTT3500E, since they are specifically designed for trucks carrying truck bed campers. The Timbren # TDR2500D would also work but are meant more for carrying heavy payloads and may not provide as much body roll dampening. The...

- Recommended Timbren Suspension Enhancement for 5th Wheel Towing with a 2015 Ram 2500 4x4Yes, the Timbren suspension enhancement system (SES) jounce-style springs will help to level your 2015 Ram 2500 when you are under a load. The correct part you want to use is # TDR2500D as the other part for the rear suspension, part # TDRTT3500E, is designed for service vehicles that are under a constant heavy load. I have attached a review video for the Timbrens as well as a photo that a customer sent in of this same system installed on their 2014 Ram 2500 for you to reference. One...

- Is Timbren Or SumoSprings Rear Suspension Enhancement Better For A 2022 Ram 2500Determining if the Timbren # TDRTT3500E or the SumoSprings # SS27GR is better for your needs will depend on your application. With the Timbren option having 8,000 pounds of load leveling capacity, they will of course be the more heavy duty option. They will definitely help with sag and body roll, but this is intended as a Severe Service kit. What I mean by that is it should be used with a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or something heavy in or on the bed of your truck. With these being...

I have a few different options to help with this. If you are looking for a rugged sort of set and forget option then I recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TDRTT3500E. If you are looking for an option that you can adjust for the best mix of support and comfort then I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter...

I recommend the SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs item # SS27GR. These springs have a 5,000 lbs capacity when they are compressed at 50%. The best part about them is that they are a two piece system and the two pieces stay disconnected when the truck is unloaded. This allows the suspension to travel much more and provide a smoother ride. The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle item #...

These are both no-drill options. If you have the Mopar rear-mounted kick out steps that are mounted under the bumper they will need to be removed. For a set of locking turnbuckles to...
view full answer... - Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings Suspension Enhancement For 2022 Ram 2500The SumoSprings are definitely the best choice for your 2022 Ram 2500. The Timbren will give you a rough ride when unloaded while SumoSprings have a minimal impact on unloaded ride quality. Also, the # TDRTT3500E is a severe service kit. The only reason to add this would be if you're using a slide-in camper or salt spreader. The correct SumoSprings kit will depend on your application. I would choose the option with the lowest capacity that fits your needs. We have the following available: -SumoSprings...

You should have 1/2" to 1-1/2" of clearance between the Timbren springs and your axle with your Ram unloaded. Seeing as your springs are touching with no weight you either have some kind of lowering kit on the rear of your truck to level it out or your springs have worn to the...

It will not work on trucks that have the leaf or coil springs with the auto level rear suspension add on. Do note that the Timbren springs are taller than the factory bump stops on your Ram so you will not be able to drop the suspension as far as you currrently can.

- Suspension Helper Springs for a 2015 Ram 3500 4x4 Towing 5th Wheel Toy Hauler w/5K Pin WeightFor your 2015 Ram 3500 4x4 and your heavy toy hauler trailer I strongly advise going with a heavy duty option for rear helper springs. A light or medium duty just won't offer the support that you will need for this particular trailer. For SumoSprings the heavy duty part for your truck is # SSR-302-54. For Timbren springs I recommend using # TDR3500CA which is rated for 8,600 pounds. The one you mentioned, # TDRTT3500E, is for truck models turned into service vehicles and utility trucks....

You will need to ensure you choose the correct system for your trailer weight. This will not only redistribute the tongue weight across your 2022 Ram 2500 to reduce sag but it will also help to reduce trailer sway.

Once the truck is on a lift, it may take all of 15-20 minutes to get them installed. We do encourage you to note to this customer that Timbren springs will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, and not to exceed the manufacturers recommended weight capacity. I have linked our install video below if you want to take a look at the process.

While I cannot say that it will completely eliminate all sagging, it will make a noticeable difference. This will in turn improve handling, braking and ride quality while towing.

There are standard, double convoluted Timbrens that should have a gap, but the ones you have are meant to be touching the axle.

However, if you are asking about a front leveling system helping with rear sag and preventing the front of your truck lifting up, then I have to say it will not do either of these things, unfortunately. With that said, supplementing the rear suspension will assist with both of these things. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDRTT3500E...

This can provide up to an additional 8,000 lbs of suspension support so it will work well for your application.
