Timbrens are made in Canada and they are engineered "rubber springs" that replace the yellow rubber bumpers on most trucks.

They usually are used to keep the truck level when towing a 5th trailer or when hauling a pickup camper--or in any situation when the back end of the truck sags.

Keeping the truck level also keeps the front end alignment closer to what it should be--minimizes front tire wear, reduces complaints from on coming drivers because your lights are too high and bright, installation is easy, and little or no negative effect on the ride when not towing. The ride while towing is quite good.

There is quite a bit of discussion on various RV and Pickup Truck web sites.

Here is a web site that describes and explains what it is, installation, and how they work.
