How Timbren SES Kits Work Timbren SES kits use a hollow rubber spring that adds thousands of pounds of leveling strength to your truck's suspension. Timbren's patented Aeon rubber springs are made of 100% natural rubber and install using laser cut steel brackets powdercoated for protection against corrosion. The Timbren SES kit is essentially a rubber add-on spring that provides extra strength to your suspension only when you need it. The spring is bolted on to one side of a vehicle's suspension (usually the frame) and has about an inch of clearance during normal driving. This allows the vehicle to ride as comfortably and handle exactly like stock when unloaded - no need trade off an ultra stiff ride every day for the strength and stability you need when you're towing. When the vehicle is loaded, the Timbren spring comes into contact with the axle and helps support the weight. As the vehicle weight increases, the progressive weight springs add more and more strength, up to 40,000 lbs for some heavy truck applications and 14,000 lbs for some pickups . While Timbren SES springs are rubber, they are not sealed air springs. Timbren springs are hollow, open springs that do not require any maintenance and cannot be punctured. One benefit of rubber springs is that they also act as dampers on suspension movements, similar to shock absorbers, adding even more stability to your truck under heavy loads. Don't Ruin Your Ride In the past, trucks were built with the stiffest suspensions possible designed to take years of abuse and in turn abuse anyone who had the displeasure of riding in them. If you wanted a something you could drive every day and a truck, you had to have two vehicles. Today's trucks ride better than luxury cars from a few years ago. The tradeoff is that when you ask your comfortable daily driver pickup to tow a boat or haul a bed full of gravel, it sags embarrassingly and can become dangerous to drive.
