Not everyone desires to spend the weekend in a tent; some prefer the finer things in life, like a TAXA Outdoors Mantis. Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about you. Check out our top towing accessories to significantly improve your truck’s towing performance.
Timbren Suspension Enhancement Systems are a worthwhile investment, especially if you're an avid hauler. These maintenance-free air springs function similarly to your truck's factory bump stops; however, they’re far taller and engage earlier in the suspension cycle. Instead of the rough impacts experienced when your truck bottoms out on the factory bump stops, Timbrens offer a compliant yet stable ride thanks to their patented Aeon rubber construction. In addition to improving ride quality, Timbrens improve stability and reduce suspension sag, making for a far more controllable and comfortable ride with a heavy load in the bed or trailer on the hitch.
Features:
Aeon rubber construction
Improves ride and handling
Helps eliminate sag and trailer sway
Improving uneven load handling
Keeps vehicle level while hauling
Vehicle-specific design for easy installation
Maintenance-free
Limited lifetime warranty
