Even though your new pickup truck may have a maximum towing capacity of 10,000 pounds, that doesn't mean you’ll somehow avoid rear suspension squat. Good news! Timbren SES suspension helper springs are the simple and easy solution.
What are Timbren helper springs?
Timbren SES truck helper springs were first developed for the North American market in 1968. The sale of SES kits has expanded since then to include well over 400 kits for everything from small pickups to big rigs like Peterbilt and Kenworth.
Timbren SES spring helpers, aka Aeon® hollow rubber springs, are at the heart of every Timbren SES product. Timbren helper springs for trucks are the alternative to metal and air. Why? Because Aeon® springs are stronger than steel and more reliable than air. (More on that later.)
Aeon® springs come in various sizes and shapes: single, double, and even triple convolutions, some round, some square. A set of Aeon® springs provide extra weight capacity for your suspension, starting at 1,000 lbs up to 50,000 lbs. Every SES kit is a combination of carefully selected Aeon® springs and components that can be installed on virtually every truck, van and SUV that rolls off the assembly line.
Timbren SES rubber suspensions for trucks replace the original OEM bump stops that came with your truck. Timbren rubber helper springs come with some awesome features and benefits:
- Easy installation: “Less than 30 minutes”
- Zero maintenance: “Set it and forget it”
- Progressive spring rate: “Stronger than steel”
- Hysteresis - “Shock absorption”
How do Timbren helper springs stand up to the competition?
What are helper springs? Suspension helper springs come in various sizes, materials, and weight capacities. Two of the most popular helper springs for trucks are steel and air. Remember how we said that Timbren SES – aka Aeon® rubber springs – are “stronger than steel and more reliable than air”? Here’s why:
Steel leaf springs like add-a-leaf have a linear spring rate. The problem with a linear spring rate is that it has the same spring rate as it deflects all the way down until the suspension bottoms out. On the other hand, a progressive spring rate increases as the weight increases, allowing the truck to carry much heavier loads.
Airbags are a high-maintenance system because you’re dealing with compressed air. If there’s an air leak, you’ll have to fix it immediately because it’s too dangerous to haul or tow if the suspension is unstable. Timbren SES, on the other hand, is more reliable because rubber springs are pretty much bulletproof. Remember - there’s no air.

Timbren SES suspension helper springs are a radical departure from older, more conventional methods of adding additional weight capacity. As you have come to realize, Timbren SES suspension upgrades don’t depend on compressed air. Neither are they made of metal.
Here’s the thing:
Because they’re made of natural rubber, Timbren SES upgrades offer you several features and benefits that the others can’t provide. Two innate characteristics of Timbren hollow rubber springs that the competition can’t provide are:
- Progressive spring rate
Unlike a linear spring rate, a progressive spring rate continually increases as the load increases.* For this reason, Timbren SES upgrades guarantee that your truck remains level and stable at all times - even under the heaviest loads.
*Note: Even though the spring capacity is increased, the GVWR remains the same as set by the manufacturer.
Unlike airbags and leaf springs, Timbren’s Aeon® hollow rubber springs are able to absorb the rebound energy just like a shock absorber! That’s why they can deliver smooth ride quality even under the heaviest loads.
