Looks interesting. Wonder how much it cost?

I like the idea a lot. I too would be interested in real world use reports...

The 1200lbs rated system is $481 for both sides the 2000lbs is about $500 for both

Interesting.

I do like the Timbrens on my Tacoma.

looks promising, would love to hear some real world feedback from someone whose had this on their trailer. thinking of going an AT Tass 4 for my m101cdn but this would save me some serious coin

these look like a sweet idea.....solid rubber? need for shocks? how smoth of ride? and better than air bags?

has anybody seen these in person? or bought any? it sparks my intrest.

I have looked all over and I cant find any reviews good or bad.

Looks promising, but I think the immediate downside would be finding parts IF it fails. If you had an axle snap or a hub issue on a regular type axle, you could probably find parts or have it welded.

I am still interested in seeing this in action. Thanks for posting it up.

edit: If the hubs are standard, then this would not be an issue.

I have installed timbrens on the front of IFS truck suspensions after installing snow plows, basically they just stop the suspension from bottoming out hard.

In some forms of racing I think its side cars they use a rubber spring like the ones on the trailer Axel It seems to work well But the side cars only have about 2" of travel.

How big of a tire can you run with these?

 

[unionmine]

I had emailed the company some basic question. and the reply i got back was it a new product sorry for the lack of information. Not a big help

Nothing of value on YouTube. Doesnt seem like they're really out there trying to sell them yet. Doesnt seem like they would have much travel. I can think of a few trails where the lateral forces would be working hard to bend these. Especially with a heavier trailer, and 31"+ tires. Just not much beef in there to keep things from twisting.
