Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2022 Toyota Tundra- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Timbren rear suspension enhancement for the rear axle on 2022 Toyota Tundra. Adding rear suspension enhancement to any truck is a great idea, especially if you plan on putting some payload in the bed or having trailers that you tow regularly. A lot of trucks today are designed with comfort in mind. They become daily drivers for a lot of people and that's totally fine, but when you start to tow, sometimes you're gonna notice that void for comfort when it starts to sag. And that's not necessarily that it's going to overwork your truck. But if you wanna supplement it and give it the best help that it can when it comes to supplementing your suspension, and just making your truck feel a little bit tougher while it tows, this is a great option to do that. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs Installation - 2023 Toyota Tacoma- Video
Hello neighbors, it's Brad here at etrailer, and today we're taking a look at installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 rear helper springs on a 2023 Toyota Tacoma. Now this is what your airbags are gonna look like when they're installed on your Tacoma. And before, there's a very small jounce bumper that sits pretty low, and really for this to bottom out, it's gonna take a lot of squishing to do that, and that's what the bump stops or jounce bumpers are there for, so it doesn't bottom out the suspension. But the problem is leading up to that means that the shocks are gonna really compress. And a lot of times if you're either towing a trailer or have a heavy load in the back of the truck, that means the suspension's gonna be squatted, and that transmits quite a bit of issues, not only on the suspension being overloaded and not having that full stroke, but also it is gonna mess with the front of the vehicle too. So that's gonna come down to steering feel. more

Today we're gonna be taking a look at and showing you how to install the SES Coil Enhancement System from Timbren, and we're gonna be showing it on our 2022 Toyota RAV4. We already have ours installed, and the first thing I want to do is take it through our test course and drive around with it and just see how it performs without any weight on the RAV4. Most of the time, that's probably how you're gonna be driving anyway and you don't want it to affect the ride quality of the vehicle without any weight in it. So we'll see how it does. So for the first part of our test course, we've got a series of speed bumps, both alternating and two together. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Rear Air Helper Springs Installation - 2022 Toyota Tundra- Video
Hey guys, it's Jake here with etrailer. Today we're gonna be taking a look at and installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5,000, air helper springs on our 2022 Toyota Tundra. Air helper springs are going to help to support the rear end of your vehicle when you're hauling something in the bed of your truck or from the hitch. With newer trucks, they tend to have softer coil springs for a nice ride quality. But what that leads to is that anytime you put any amount of weight on the back of the truck, it's going to cause a significant amount of squat compared to the older leaf style springs that we're on older vehicles. So when hauling those heavy loads, the air helper springs are gonna help to level out your load so that your truck is not squatting in the rear and you can get your headlights pointed back down on the road and a more sound contact with the front tires on the ground. more

Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2018 Toyota RAV4- Video
Rob: Rob, here at etrailer.com. And today, we're going to be taking a look at the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs for the rear axle on our 2018 Toyota RAV4.Now, whether you're towing a boat trailer, jet ski trailer or maybe you just have a car full of gear, or you have a cargo carrier on the back of your RAV4 carrying a lot of gear, we get a lot of weight added to the back and the back end starts to sag down. Now, this is going to do a couple different things. Our ride quality is going to suffer because our suspension is not having as much travel, which means, potentially, we could start bottoming out, just a really uncomfortable ride. Not to mention, all the strain and stress that it puts on the rear suspension, eventually wearing things out.And then, here in the front, the front is actually going to start stretching upwards because it's going to cause a teetering effect, all the weight on the back of our RAV4. So, our tires aren't going to have as much contact with the ground, which means our steering and braking is going to be diminished. more

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2015 Toyota Sienna- Video
Rob: Rob here at etrailer.Com, and today you're gonna be taking a look at the Timbren rear suspension enhancement our 2015 Toyota Sienna.There's a lot of different reasons why you'd want a suspension enhancement on the back of your van. Part of the reason may be that you're towing a trailer. Once you put that heavy weight on the back, it's going to push down on the back end of the van, put a lot of strain and stress on the suspension.Not to mention anybody riding in the van is going to be extremely uncomfortable because this suspension isn't going to have enough travel. We're gonna end up bottoming out.All that feeling is going to resonate through the seats, and again, this is not going to be very comfortable. But since the back end is getting pushed down, the front end is going to rise up, which brings up a few more problems.Our tires start to wear unevenly. Our alignment is kind of off. more

We'll take a second measurement, and it brings it to 27-1/2 inches. Now, we'll go ahead and run our vehicle over our test course. As we go through the slalom portion of our test course, with the excessive weight in the back, we have decreased steering ability and excessive sway and body roll.

Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2006 Toyota Sienna- Video
Today on our 2006 Toyota Sienna we'll be installing the Firestone Air Helper Spring Kit Part #F4155. Our first step will be to install the air bag inside the coil spring. To make it more accessible and easier to install the air bag, it may be necessary to remove the lower shock mounts so that the axle can swing down further away from the vehicle. To do this, we'll remove the nut washer on the shock mount and then the fender washer and slide the shock off the lower shock mount. Now we can go ahead and take the weight off of the vehicle. To do this, we'll raise the body allowing the suspension and axle to fall. As you can see the wheel speed sensor wire is starting to become stretched. In order not to harm the wire we'll go ahead and disconnect the wire from the wheel speed sensor. more
