What is going to happen is the bracket is going to sit on top of the air bag just like that. Then we will take two flange lock nuts and run them down tight right now. :40 more

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2005 Chevy Suburban - Video

Today we are working on a 2005 Chevy Suburban. We will be installing Timbren suspension enhancement system part number TGMRYS4. Our first step is going to be to remove the existing bump stop. Sometimes it will be necessary to actually get a tool in around the bump stop to pry it out. As you can see, ours came out pretty easily. For installation of our new bump stop, we fit it in to the bump stop cup and now we are going to use the vehicle weight to actually push it back in place, using a couple of wood blocks. Now I am going to lower the vehicle weight on to the bump stop. Now we can go ahead and raise the vehicle back up and remove our blocks. Now that we have the driver side installed, I am going to go ahead and repeat the same process on the passenger side.

Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs Installation - 2003 Chevy Silverado - Video

Today on this 2003 Chevy Silverado 2500 series we are going to be installing Firestone air ride system part number F2250. Before we actually get started working on the vehicle itself, we are going to do a little prep work to our air suspension kit. We are installing on the passenger side of the vehicle first. And I have the parts necessary for the passenger side laid out right here. The bottom bracket which is this larger piece right here is going to be standard. It will be the same piece on both the driver and passenger sides. The upper bracket, however, is going to be different. If you look on the bottom side of the bracket, there is an R or and L punched in there for right or left side of the vehicle. And you will notice that the part numbers are different as well. So, t he right one is going to be for the passenger side of the vehicle. We will take the air spring and we want to remove the coverings here from the top two studs and for the threaded portion for the air fitting. We are going to start the installation off by mounting the air spring to the upper bracket. What we want to take is one of the 3/8 by 1-1/2 inch bolts and go ahead and it from the bottom of the bracket up on the short leg. If you look at the bracket, you can see there is a higher leg and a shorter leg. You want to feed that onto the shorter leg. Go ahead and take the provided heat shield and it onto the air spring and put the upper bracket on. We are going to align the two 3/8 inch holes over the two studs on the air spring. Then we will take two of the locking hex nuts and go ahead and mount the upper bracket to the air spring. The heat shield here is only going to be used on the passenger side of the vehicle. And what we want to do when we tighten these 3/8 bolts down is to make sure the bracket stays aligned where the larger hole goes over where the air fitting is going to be. The fitting will thread in easily by hand until you get to the thread locker and then it will get hard to turn. Once you get to that point, go ahead and take a wrench and get it to fully seat another ¾ to one full turn. And what we want is the open end of the fitting to face out towards the heat shield. 2:06 more

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Kit Review - Video

Timbren SES kits with patented AEON hollow rubber springs are designed to provide adequate capacity to solve load carrying and towing problems on all trucks, vans, and SUVs. When installed they ride above the axle so that they do not effect the unloaded ride of the vehicle. With a loaded vehicle or when pulling a heavy trailer the AEON spring comes into contact with the axle to level the vehicle. Cushion road shock, reduce sway, and improve handling. Here is how simple it is to install. Remove the OEM bump stop, attach the AEON rubber spring to the Timbren bracket using the hardware that comes with it. Then using the holes in the frame which were used for the bump stop, attach the SES assembly making sure that there is a 1/ 2 inch to 1 inch space between the axle and the AEON spring. Spacers are included in many kits which may be needed to achieve the space required. What could be easier. SES kits come with a lifetime warranty at a satisfaction guarantee. more
