Top Towing Accessories

Not everyone desires to spend the weekend in a tent. Some prefer the finer things in life, like a 35-foot trailer with dual slides, a full bathroom, and a kitchen. 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

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.

In addition to improving ride quality, Timbrens improve stability and reduce suspension sag, making for a far more controlled and comfortable ride with a heavy load in the bed or trailer on the hitch.

• Improves ride and handling

• Helps eliminate sag and trailer sway
