Description
Support Transit cargo loads without air-system upkeep
FRTR250 is a rear Timbren SES kit for supported Ford Transit 150 and Transit 250 vans. Its Aeon hollow-rubber springs provide a progressive spring rate that becomes firmer as rear load increases, helping control squat, sway, and roll while preserving clearance for an unloaded ride.

About Timbren
Timbren develops rubber-spring suspension support systems for towing, hauling, commercial, and recreational applications. SES kits use progressive Aeon springs to add load support without the plumbing and pressure maintenance required by air springs.

FAQ
What is the FRTR250?It is a rear Timbren SES suspension support kit for supported Ford Transit 150 and Transit 250 vans.
Does it increase the Transit's GVWR?No. The van must remain within every Ford weight, axle, tire, and payload rating.
How do the Aeon springs work?The hollow-rubber springs become progressively firmer as rear load and compression increase.
Will the springs affect the unloaded ride?Timbren specifies an unloaded gap of one-half to one-and-one-half inches so the springs engage as load is added.
Does the kit require air pressure maintenance?No. The SES system has no air lines or pressure adjustments.
Can this kit be used on a lifted Transit?Timbren designs the standard kit for factory ride height. Use only an approved spacer arrangement documented for the exact lift and vehicle.
What is the rated capacity?Timbren lists a 5,600-pound rated capacity, which does not override any Ford vehicle rating.
What warranty applies?Timbren states a lifetime limited warranty against qualifying defects in material and workmanship under normal use and service for the original vehicle installation.
