Top Towing Accessories

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

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

While this kit doesn’t include a tank or compressor, you can easily adjust the bag's pressure with the included Schrader valve.

This system offers up to 5,000 pounds of load-leveling capacity, eliminating rear-end sag with a heavy trailer on the hitch. The bags also improve stability, reducing body roll and sway. 

Features:
