Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle

Simple is best and by design these are easy to install, built well, made with quality parts, and durable. What’s not to like? They get the job done efficiently and as marketed.

Easy to install. Should work well.

I installed these myself. It just took a decent jack to make this a very easy job. The first one took about 45 minutes because of reinstallation and sizing the gap. The second one took about 10min once you figure out the best way to do it. For some reason they don't like the holes up very well and it makes putting the mounting bracket on difficult.I am not sure why this kit comes with the plate on the bottom as older kits did not from the install videos I watched. With my f150 I did not need the spacer if I put the plate on the axle. If you don't you will want to use the spacer.This is well thought out as it does not change my ride on a daily basis but when I load it up you can feel it. You can also feel it when hitting speed bumps as it has a harder kick and you feel the bumps more because you are riding on the axle now which is the point.The ride while towing is acceptable for the short amount I have done so far. I will update after out next trip but it has greatly helped to level out the truck without trying to kill myself tighteng the AD hitch now. The truck feels better with less bounce on the bumps but you do feel it.I think they are pricy for what they are but I feel a bit like they are trying to fit in the airbag market so they had room. Seems to do the trick well and many people go this route over airbags to simplify the install if they were like me.

The Timbren SES, works! Installed on a 2020 F-150 Ecoboost that tows a 8500 lb boat/trailer.I reduced my overall sag a total of 2" and retained a firm control while towing. The suspension system does not rest on the rear axle while not loaded so the regular suspension is unaffected (adding the spacers will cause it to contact the axle when unloaded if you're looking for a full-time solution). Install was generally straightforward and the instructions were clear. The only hiccup, a minor one, was that on the 2020's Ford added a hose-clip harness to the axle in the general area where you'd attach the mounting plate on the driver-side. So I had to cut a small notch out of the metal mounting plate (there's plenty of extra "lip" material) so it could fit on the axle with enough clearance to not rub on the leaf springs. Other than that, install was a breeze!I am extremely happy with these. They definitely do what they say and save you the extra cost of a totally upgraded suspension.

I paid for $269 for new but got a product that had been installed, I didn't pay for refurbished

A must have if towing a camper with a 1/2 ton F-150 with a front leveling kit. I had to tweak my weight distribution hitch to make sure they were preloaded with enough weight so they didn’t fight the WD hitch, Truck handles great when towing.

I have a 2020 F150 XLT and haul a 28ft/6,000 lbs trailer (trailer fully loaded). The stock truck would squat horribly when driving. After installation, the truck is close to level without being able to manually adjusting. It is an inexpensive way to level your truck and a whole lot easier to install than expensive air bags.

Super easy install. Takes less than an hour with min tools. I just blocked the front tires and jacked the truck up on the rear hitch with a floor jack. Remove the bolt holding the factory bump stops and then install the timbren set up.I have a 17 f150 4x4 crew cab with the 6.5' bed and the max tow package. The truck is used for a contracting business in which I carry alot of tools, ladders, in a work topper and bed slide. The rear dropped about 2" with the added weight without towing a trailer. I used the supplied spacer also. This return the factory ride height and handling. I do not notice a harsher ride. I'm always on the bump stops now which may be different than people not always carrying a load.I chose this system over airbags due to the simplicity and maintenance free. Airbags seem to never hold the air pressure long unless you install an on board compressor system.The only negative I have found is the powercoating/paint was chipping off in the box. I'm not sure why they waist their time with such a cheap coating. I will have to spray paint them as the paint continues to fall off.
