Expert Answers about Vehicle Suspension


  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendations For a 2006 GMC Sierra 3500
  • We have several suspension enhancement systems available for your 2006 GMC Sierra 3500. I have linked our page which will give you a variety of suspension offerings. We do offer SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA10 which will enhance your factory springs, however, we do not sell replacement leaf spring for vehicles. This enhancement unit bolts above your existing factory springs, there is no drilling required. To give you an idea about the installation, I have attached a short video of

  • Will Adding Timbren Suspension Enhancement Reduce Sway and Help Ride on a 2008 Ford F-150 4x4 FX4
  • Technically, you would call Timbren front suspension # TFF150F a passive system. It is designed for support when there is a load on it. However, the springs contact the the vehicle so there will be some support when not under load. So the short answer is that it would help just maybe not to the degree you are looking for. Another issue is that suspension enhancement systems are designed to be used on a vehicle with suspension that is in good working order. If the front coil springs and bushin

  • Will Firestone Air Spring Kit F2250 Fit with Reese 5th Wheel Brackets RP50082 on a 2008 Ford F-250
  • That is what you would have to do. The factory bump stop bracket also should be in this location or just below the 5th wheel rail. In that square hole on the # RP50082-58 brackets you would put the bolt through to secure the bracket, put the Firestone air spring bracket from kit # F2550 on the other side of the frame, then put the nut on and torque to spec. I have included a picture showing the outboard and inboard sides of the frame with the 5th wheel bracket and Firestone air spring bracket in

  • Timbren Suspension Enhancement for a 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 with Rear Coil Springs
  • If your 2013 Dodge Ram 1500 is a crew or quad cab then you can use the Timbren springs # TDR1500DQ. The coil springs at the back are not an issue. I have included a link to a video showing a typical installation of this system. As you can see the truck in the video also has rear coil springs. I have also included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • What Suspension Kit to Correct Sagging Rear End on 2002 Toyota Tacoma During Occasional Towing
  • As you noted there are several different types of rear axle suspension enhancement products for your 2002 Toyota Tacoma: air-springs, rubber bump-stop springs and helper leaf springs such as the Super Springs # SSA18. Air-spring kits are more complex to install and require regular checks to maintain their required minimum pressure, but offer adjust-ability to suit changing tow and cargo loads. Rubber springs are not adjustable but do offer progressive resistance as the load increases, are re

  • Will SuperSpring Coil Inserts Fit on a 2009 Subaru Legacy
  • If you can provide me with some measurements of your coil springs, I can determine if any of our SuperSprings Coil Inserts will work on your 2009 Subaru Legacy. Unfortunately SuperSprings has not tested any of their coil inserts with your vehicle, but we may be able to find something that will work. If you can send me the overall diameter of your coil spring, the distance between each coil and the diameter of the spring coil, I can see if we have an insert that will work for you. I have atta

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with Auto Level Rear Suspension
  • I recommend installing a set of Timbren springs for added support. They will provide the support you need without having to run air lines and fill up or deflate air bags. Please keep in mind that adding Timbren springs or any suspension enhancement product may not stop the auto-leveling motor from running, but there is a very good chance that it will. If you have a 4-wheel drive model use # TGMRG25C. For a 2-Wheel drive model use # TGMRYS4. Be sure to check your vehicle owners manual to make

  • Can a 2008 Chevy Silverado 2500HD Tow a 16,500 Pound 5th Wheel Trailer
  • The GVWR of a vehicle is set in stone. There is nothing you can do to increase the capacity short of replacing the axle, suspension, and other load bearing and drive train components. What suspension enhancement like # TGMRCK25S does is help support the load and keep the rear end from sagging. Since you have a 3/4 ton truck, you are going to be able to tow just about anything. Consult the vehicle owners manual for the towing capacities of the truck. The gross COMBINED vehicle weight rating is

  • Will Air Lift AirCell Custom Helper Springs Kit # AL52204 Work On 2004 Dodge 2500
  • The Air Lift AirCell Custom Helper Springs Kit # AL52204 you referenced will work on your 2004 Dodge 2500 pickup. It prevents sagging and reduces bottoming out as a result of carrying heavy loads, like when towing your fifth wheel. It also helps with problems such as off-center loads, body roll, and sway when turning sharp corners because each spring works independently. This product bolts onto your frame and rear axle and requires no maintenance. It provides a smoother ride than rubber load

  • Timbren Suspension System Enhancement Recommendation for a 2012 Honda Pilot
  • Suspension enhancements will not give you additional capacity beyond what the manufacturer recommends, but what they will do is allow you to carry weight within the capacity of the vehicle in a safer, more stable way. So basically in your situation suspension enhancement would be an excellent choice since what you plan on towing is within the capacity set by Honda. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # THROD2 that you referenced is designed to fit your 2012 Honda Pilot and would

The air bag will locate between the underside of the frame member and the top of the axle, just in board of the leaf springs as shown in the diagram posted for you.

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan with Wheelchair Lift
  • Your local or state laws may have requirements for ride height on a passenger vehicle and you should be able to contact the local DMV or State Troopers office and they should be able to tell you. A vehicle does not ever require a suspension enhancement system and the systems we carry are not lift kits. They help support the suspension and are meant to be installed on a vehicle with factory suspension that is in good working order. Given that your 2002 Dodge Grand Caravan has a wheelchair lift

  • My contact at Timbren confirmed that their Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TGMRCK25S, will work with your 2009 GMC Sierra that is equipped with a BandW turnover ball and 5th wheel hitch. Since this kit installs in the same location as the stock bump stops (which are removed) there will be no clearance issues with your hitches. This kit includes the rubber springs, mounting brackets and required hardware and installs without drilling. Please note that this suspension kit does no

Firestone makes a good quality suspension enhancement system and they also make the air bags for Air Lift. You can install the system as is and use your own air compressor or one at a gas station to fill the bags.

  • Can Firestone part # F2525 Work with Pro Comp Stage 2 Block Lift on a 2010 F150 4X4
  • Yes, the Firestone part # F2525 will fit your 2010 Ford F-150 FX4 that is already outfitted with the 6 inch Pro Comp Stage 2 block lift installed. Often times lift spacers are required for truck that have lift kits, but, in your case, the block lift does not lift the frame further away from the suspension. I spoke with the engineer at Firestone who verified that you can use Firestone part # F2525 on your 2010 Ford F150 4X4 with your 6 inch Pro Comp Stage 2 block lift as long as your lift kit

  • Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs Recommendation for a 2004 Mercury Sable Sedan
  • To answer your first question you can either inflate the air bags of the Air Lift AirLift 1000 Air Helper Springs # AL60776 manually with an air compressor via the valve stems that will get installed on your vehicle or you could get a compressor kit like the Air Lift Load Controller II Compressor System # AL25592 and be able to control the inflation of the bags from within your vehicle. You also would be able to monitor the air pressure with this kit. If you decide to not use a compressor kit

  • Will Firestone Kit #F2400 Fit a Ford 2005 F350 4X4 with a Firestone Kit #F2176 Already Installed
  • The Firestone Kit # F2176 and Firestone Kit # F2400 do not have any interchangeable parts. The # F2176 that you already have installed is not compatible with the BandW Hitch you want to install. You will need to remove the air springs to install the BandW Hitch. With this being done, I would recommend Super Springs part # SSA22 which will work with the BandW Hitch part # 1108 you will be installing. By using part # SSA22 on your 2005 F350 4X4, it will not interfere in any way with the BandW H

  • Will Timbren part# TGMRCK25S fit on a 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 3500
  • The difference between the 2007 Chevy Silverado 2500 and the 3500 series trucks is the weight capacity. The 3500 is going to have a higher weight capacity than the 2500. I spoke with the engineer at Timbren and he told me that the TImbren part # TGMRCK25S will fit on your 2007 Chevy Silverado Classic 3500, because the Timbren springs for the 2500 and 3500 models will install the same way on both truck models. These springs were tested up to 6,000 pounds and work well within those guidelines.

  • Handling Characteristics of 2011 Chevy Silverado Equipped with Firestone Air Springs, Part # F2250
  • Adjustable air springs like the Firestone Ride-Rite Rear Air Helper Springs, part # F2250, can be tuned to match the load on the tow vehicle at any given time, but they cannot be operated when completely deflated. The air bags can be damaged if used without at least 5 psi pressure. Please note that no product of this type can increase the weight carrying capacity of your vehicle. This particular kit is not suitable for the Silverado 1500, only for 2500 and 3500 series trucks. The correct ki

  • My contact at Firestone does not have a confirmed fit for this air spring kit, part # F2355, on the 2010 Nissan Titan when it is equipped with the mounting hardware for a 5th wheel. This does not necessarily mean there will be a fit issue, only that the combination is untested. The compatibility of this air spring kit with your 5th-wheel-equipped Titan will be a function of the type of base rail installation kit you have and where on the vehicle frame that hardware is mounted.

  • Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System for a 2012 Ram 2WD Regular Cab
  • If your 2012 Ram is a 1500 model, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement, # TDR1500DS. These springs have a 6,000 lb weight capacity and can be installed on trucks with or without overload springs and you do not need to install spacers. The weight capacity of these springs is more than enough to support your veterinary box in your bed. These springs work well with consistent loads. The Timbren springs, # TDR1500DQ, that you referenced were designed for the crew and quad cab mode

The main difference between these two systems is that the Firestone system includes upper supports that are placed between the air bags and the jounce bumper bracket. Both systems will install the same way on your 2010 Chrysler Town and Country with the exception of the upper supports for the Firestone kit. I have attached the installation instructions of both k

This is necessary to allow the rear suspension to fully extend for insertion of the helper springs. It is not necessary to dismantle the suspension system. Apart from this you will need only basic tools. Installation consists of slipping the deflated air spring cylinder betwe

  • Is it Safe to Use Timbren Suspension Kit on a 2004 Dodge Ram 4x4 when Towing a 5th Wheel Trailer
  • Using the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system on your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 would definitely be safe and would be a good idea to help the suspension of your truck perform better and last longer. The Timbren springs will also help keep the back of your truck from sagging as much which will help with stopping and tire wear. For your specific truck the correct Timbren kit is # TDR2500CA. The kit you referenced is for newer Dodge trucks and is not designed for the 2004 model. I provided

  • Using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2550 on your 2008 Ford F-250 4WD will not affect the tongue weight of your trailer or your ability to properly hook it up to your tow vehicle. If you have concerns regarding the tongue weight of your trailer, and any sag the trailer tongue weight might cause, I would recommend a weight distribution system. If you choose to go this route, you will want to set the airbags prior to hooking up the weight distribution system. If you can provide m

The Sumo Springs you actually need are # CSS-1195R for your Highlander. These will help to take out the sagging and ease some stress on the suspension.

  • Will Firestone Air Springs, Part # F4177, Smooth Ride for 3rd Row Passengers in 2013 Ford Flex
  • My contact at Firestone advises that the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Spring, part # F4177, is primarily intended for leveling out a vehicle whose suspension sags in the rear end due to a trailer or cargo load. It is not expressly intended for improving ride quality. If your typical 3rd row passenger load causes the vehicle suspension to use up much of its range of travel (and if the axle ever hits the bump stops) then these will help eliminate that bottoming-out.

If the brackets from the 5th wheel installation kit do not have any parts that wrap around the bottom of the truck frame then you can install this air bag kit on your truck.

Inflation valve, # F3032-1, is what is used in the kit # F2403, so you would not have to get a different valve.

  • Suspension Enhancement or Weight Distribution for 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan Towing 21 ft Camper
