Review and Installation of Timbren Vehicle Suspension Enhancement System

Timbren Vehicle Suspension Enhancement System Review and Installation

Today on the 2001 Ford Ranger we are going to install part number TFRR0504A from Timbren. Before we started we actually did a few test runs. We did it fully loaded, halfway loaded, and empty. Now we will go ahead and install the Timbren kit and then we will go ahead and try it again.

The suspension enhancement actually replaces the factory bump stop right here. What is going to happen is we have got to take off this factory bump stop, it comes off there is usually a bolt on top, and there is a part that comes down here that gets clamped onto the axle and replaces the bump stop here on the bottom. Lets go ahead and take this off first.

We will go ahead and start the sub assembly. Whats going to happen is this screw will go on the inside. So just take it and put it into the end of the socket, and there is a little washer inside so you have to work it inside the washer. And it is going to bolt on to the top of this bracket here. And this bracket will actually get bolted onto the bottom of the truck. All right when you tighten these down you want to get these about hand tight. All right we will go ahead and install this part on the bottom of the frame now.

Go ahead and slide our lower bracket into place. Take care, stay away from any brake lines or any other components. Line it up straight. And then what happens is the clamp goes on the bottom and the two bolts will go through and hold it into place. When you tighten down the bolts you want to do them evenly on both sides. With one complete we will go ahead and move to the other side and start on that one.

On the one completed side you can see that we have about one inch of space between the rubber bushing and the bracket below it. When you get loaded up it is going to take up that space. The more load on it the harder it works. Here we go again, after the install we will show you how we can reduce the body roll in it with the heavy, light load, and no load. With a few simple steps and a couple simple hand tools we have our suspension enhancement installed. And there you have it for part number TFRR0504A from Timbren.
