    Sorry Brian
    I installed the heavier sumo springs https://www.supersprings.com/shop/tss-107-47/ They do appear similar to the Timbren's https://timbren.com/
    BTW - Supersprings is the manufacturer of the sumo spring. They have the best pricing (try JourneyBetter as a coupon code) They do have sales every so often and have excellent customer service.

    While I have not been on the road yet I have noticed the trailer doesn't wobble much anymore walking around in it or when I move it in the yard.
    Timbren has a lot of truck applications, but I did not see one for RV trailers - probably did not look enough. I installed the heavier units for better bump stop control as I am going to 16" tires.

    Hope this helps folks
    Keith

    On edit - I asked Timbren if they made anything similar to the sumo springs, I got a fast reply that they do not.

      Picking my Timbrens up tomorrow to install myself. Should be trailering later this month and next week. Will report back when there is some thoughts to share.

        Received Timbrens and installed myself. Should of taken about 30 minutes to installed but my 9 year old son helped and it took about an hour ha ha.

        Towed my trailer in for some warranty service which was first pull with the Timbrens also moved some concrete blocks in the trucks with timbrens supporting. In my opinion - the timbrens do a nice job of supporting and "firming" up the ride. The rear end doesn't bounce like it used to being lower in the suspension travel. Again the ride was definitely more firm but I would not say uncomfortable. Believe it made the trailering experience more confident and level than it previously was. Overall for $250 or so it's about 25% of airbag cost and we trailer for 10-12 trips a year it's worth the money.
