Today, on this 2001 Dodge Ram 2500, we are going to install Timbren front suspension kit, part number TDF25004B. Alright, this is the Timbren suspension enhancement system and we are seeing half of the kit. This is the part that we are going to use on the driver side of the vehicle. Alright, as you can see here, it has the rubber spring on the bottom half and then on the top part is a thin metal plate. And then on top of that is another rubber part that can actually get pushed into the bump stop cup that is located on the frame of the vehicle. What you need to do is lift the frame of the vehicle up to loosen the suspension up, so we have more working room. 0:32
Alright, we are going to show you where the factory bump stop is. This is the actual part right here. Now, since it is a friction fit, so all we have to do is just pry it out of position. We are just going to use a screw driver to just push on it to pry it out. And next we are going to go ahead and put our new component into place. We are just going to push it in there, line it up and get it started as best we can. Then, we will lower the truck to push it in the rest of the way. Now let us go ahead and let everything rest in its final position. With the rubber springs installed, you will notice that they do touch on the bottom, on the bump stop too. It is designed to work that way. Alright, with the second one finished, that concludes our install of part number TDF25004B from Timbren.

Today on our 2012 Dodge Ram Pickup we'll be installing the Firestone Coil Rite Air Springs with Work Rite Helper Spring Kit, part number f4190. To begin our installation we'll need to deflate both airbags. To do this we'll take a small piece of air tube and connect it to the airbag. We can then deflate the airbag where we'll take the inflation valve slide it over the air tube with the airbag deflated. This will keep the airbag deflated and allow us to install it into our spring.We'll then push the air spring up into the coil spring by hand. You may need to use a blunt tool making sure that it doesnt have any sharp edges or corners as this could damage the air spring.
