Easy Way To Beef Up Suspension

Easy Way To Beef Up Suspension PICKUPS Accessories 32-1-37 Used for more than 30 years on all types of heavy-duty commercial and industrial vehicles, AEON hollow rubber springs are simple devices that are easy and quick to attach to your pickup or van. "Just remove your original bump stops from the springs," says Murray Biel, Timbren Suspension Enhancement Systems. "Bolt our AEON hollow rubber springs into the same holes. All you need is a socket wrench with an extension." Biel says 80 percent of their sales are to pickup owners. The rubber springs are available for front and rear axles as well as trailer suspensions. They work with air spring suspensions, multi-leaf and parabolic leaf springs, composite springs and walking beam suspensions. "The springs are especially handy for snow plows on the front end or for hauling heavy loads in the back," says Biel. Advantages over air suspension systems include fast installation, no maintenance, no air lines to leak or be damaged, and half the cost. Prices start at $210 each for rear and front systems on 1/2 and 3/4-ton trucks and vans. "Our AEON springs come with a lifetime warranty and will literally outlast the life of the vehicle," says Biel. When not needed, the rubber springs are described as virtually transparent as a gap is left between them and the suspension system at installation. Only when loads are applied do they go to work, compressing as they come in contact with the suspension components. Size and design are matched to specific makes and models and expected load rate. Units for raised and lowered vehicles are available as special orders. To find a local dealer, check the Timbren website or call their toll free number.
