An example of sag on a vehicle's rear axle under a heavy load

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.


Diagram of the Timbren spring installed

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.


Animation of a standard Timbren rubber spring

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.


Timbren suspension system works to prevent body roll

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.


An example of a trailers swaying

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.


An empty truck on a bumpy road without Timbren

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.

This thing is robust. Solid and looks indestructible. Replaced my OEM shocks to Bilstein and together they seem to work well. Installation was easy.
My Tundra does not squat now with heavy loads and the ride is firm not hard.
Thanks for selling a great product.



by:

Do exactly as advertised; have no idea why anyone would get air suspension when these do the trick with no hassle and automatically adjust themselves based on the load. Not to mention they are maintenance free.



by:
Toyota Tundra

Easy to install and really stabilizes that soft Tundra leaf pack.



by:

The customer service was outstanding throughout the process.



by:

Have not got them installed yet, but the shipping was excellent & I expect this product to do what it is supposed to.



by:

Installed before going to trade my small travel trailer in on a bigger/ heavier one, didn’t do to well with the smaller/lighter camper, made the drive very bouncy!! But the ride home with the heavier camper was great, kept the truck level and helped it handle better on the road

Easy install, so far so good. Pulled camper on with my Tacoma.

After a yr of towing with them they have softened a bit. They do cause a little more sway when towing. Normal ride height truck they sit on your bed frame so you will feel evry bump

  • Jounce Bumper Helper Spring Options for 2021 Toyota Tacoma
    Some 2021 Tacoma were equipped with 3 leaves in the springs, some with 4, so you'd just need to take a quick peek at what you have to determine which Timbren kit you'll need, as I have no way to look up how your truck is equipped. For a 4WD with 4 leaves in the spring pack, use # TTORTUN4, for 3 leaves use # T72FR. For 2WD vehicles with 4 leaves, use # T62FR or # T72FR for 3 leaves. This being said, the Timbren systems offer much more support than what you'd actually need to counteract...

  • Difference Between Timbren and SumoSpring Jounce Springs for a 2021 Toyota Tundra
    The biggest difference between the Timbren and SumoSpring jounce-style springs is that the Timbrens tend to be a bit more stiff which is great for heavier loads but can make the unloaded ride on your 2021 Toyota Tundra a bit more harsh. The SumoSprings tend to have a softer ride which makes them great for occasional cargo loads but they have less of a weight rating. Since suspension enhancement kits just offer support and don't actually increase your weight capacity it basically boils...

  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings For a 2021 Toyota Tundra
    You are correct that the 7,000lb rating of the Timbren Helper Springs # T62FR and 2,800lb rating of the SumoSprings # SSR-610-54 is pretty different. For your 2021 Toyota Tundra I recommend going with the # SSR-610-54 as they are made out of a softer material so when you are driving the truck unloaded you will not have a stiff and bouncy ride like the Timbrens are notorious for. With that said the 2,800lb rating of the SumoSprings is actually higher than the payload rating of your truck...

  • Suspension Enhancement to Help Sag of 2016 Toyota Tundra With Lift
    To help with the sag of your 2016 Toyota Tundra I recommend going with Timbrens, as they are designed to take the brunt of the added weight when you tow. They will engage when needed to counteract both sag and body roll to help level your truck, while also stabilizing it to help combat sway. You'll need spacers as well, but first, the correct fit for Timbrens on a 2016 Toyota Tundra are the following: - Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # T62FR The springs and bracket have a total...

  • Best Suspension Enhancement For a 2018 Toyota Tundra When Towing a 2021 Lance Travel Trailer
    The best thing you can install for towing your 2021 Lance travel trailer is a Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET. This will help you to level your 2018 Toyota Tundra and with the addition of sway control it will help keep your trailer tracking straight behind your Tundra. This particular hitch is rated for trailers up to 10,000lbs with a tongue weight of 600-1,000lbs. You will be able to use it with different trucks and trailers so you will not have to get a different suspension...

  • Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings for The Rear Suspension of a 2021 Toyota Tundra
    The main difference when comparing Timbren and SumoSprings for suspension enhancement is going to be the weight capacities. Timbren uses hollow rubber springs that is able to support more weight but they can cause a firmer ride. The SumoSprings are made of a durable microcellular urethane that will progressively increase capacity as the spring is compressed. This will offer a smoother ride as the springs will better absorb the shock but they do not offer the capacity and stability of the...

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement that Fits 2013 Toyota Tundra
    For your 2013 Toyota Tundra that is towing a 6,500 lb travel trailer I'd go with the Timbren kit part # TABSOSR to help support the rear of it and reduce sag as this will give you up to an additional 3,600 lbs of support if needed. Other kits provide even more support but they would provide a harsher ride quality. With that said, I think your best option would be the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS34FR which provides adjustable support, is easy to install, and also provides the best...

  • Comparing Timbren Kits for 2022 Toyota Tacoma
    There is an interesting amount of Timbren kits that fit your 2022 Toyota Tacoma long bed. The part # TABSTRFK is a standard duty kit that comes with a U-bolt flip kit helps with ground clearance. # T72FR is a severe service kit for 3 leaf springs which means it's going to be really harsh, # T62FR is same thing but for 4 leaf spring packs. # TABSOSR is a standard duty kit which means it'll give best blend of support and ride quality. This would be what I would recommend.
