Timbren Rear Suspension System Installation - 2003 Dodge Ram

Today on our 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 we'll be installing Timbren Suspension Enhancement System, part number TDR2500CA. Now this will be for the rear. Now before installing the Timbrens you may need to raise the vehicle to allow the axle to hang freely. We'll need to remove the existing bump stops. We'll take out the two bolts holding it in place. Now we'll need to keep the bolts as we will reuse them when installing our Timbren Suspension.

Timbren Front Suspension System Installation - 2003 Dodge Ram

Today on our 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 we'll be installing the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System, part number TDF25004B on the front axle. Now to begin our installation we'll need to raise the vehicle to allow the axle to hang freely. We'll remove the existing bump stops by prying it out of the bump stop cup. We can then position the Timbren Spring Assembly into the bump stop cup and press it into place. You may need to use a soapy water as a lubricant to get it up into the cup. With your spring assembly loosely fit into the cup we can then use a piece of wood such as a 2x4 to place between the spring and the axle itself.

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2009 Dodge Ram

Today on this 2009 Dodge Ram 1500, were going to install part number TDR1500DQ from Timbren.

Alright, now weve got the old ones removed, we'll now go ahead and install the new Timbren. Well go ahead and spray some soapy water on it and our Timbren has already come pre-assembled in a package, so all we got to do is install it on the vehicle. Were going to fit up into the cup right here. So what well do, well start it, put in place with pieces of little piece of timber between two and lower the truck onto it so it pushes the Timbren part up into the cup.

Firestone Work-Rite Load Assist Installation - 2009 Dodge Ram 1500

Today on this 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 we are going to install part number F8620 from Firestone. This is their Work-Rite Load Assist. To give you an idea of what is going on the new Firestone part actually replaces the factory bump stop right here. When you have the truck fully loaded, the only way it is going to stop is when it hits this bump stop and goes down to the axle. You can see we have got quite a bit of difference so if we put a load in the back of the truck or bounce up and down the road you can see how much travel this has. 00:28

Timbren Front Vehicle Suspension Installation - 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500

Today on this 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 series we are going to install part number TDF25004B from Timbren. This is their suspension enhancement system. This is going to get mounted on to the front suspension of the vehicle. The first thing you need to do is lift the vehicle off the suspension so it can hang down so we have plenty of room to work. Also next we are going to remove the front wheel. This is the factory bump stop and the Timbren component is going to replace this. It is just pressed in so all we have got to do is take the screw driver and pry it out. We are going to show you the components to the Timbren system. 00:37

Today on this 1998 Dodge Ram 2500 2WD we are going to install part number F2071 from Firestone, the Ride-Rite Suspension System. Before we start our install on the truck we need to do some pre-assembly on our table of some components. To begin our assembly we are going to use these main components. This bracket is going to get bolted to the frame itself, obviously the air bag itself. Take our little covers off. 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

Timbren Rear Vehicle Suspension Installation - 2007 Dodge Ram 2500

Today on this 2007 Dodge Ram 2500 Heavy Duty we are going to install Timbren suspension enhancement system part number TDR2500CA from Timbren. The first thing we want to do is get the truck in the air. Basically we want to loosen the suspension up so that it hangs freely so it is easier to work with. First we will remove the back wheel so we can get to everything a lot easier. The first thing we need to do is remove the factory bump stop right here. There is two bolts here and here. It is a good idea to spray some lubricant on them to help break them loose and remove this whole assembly. This piece will be removed and stay off. We will keep the original factory hardware though. 00:46

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

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System for a 2012 Ram 2WD Regular Cab

There is no specific Timbren system for a 2003 Dodge Ram with a 3 inch lift.

What I recommend for you is using a set of SuperSprings # SSA6MTKT for 2,000 pounds capacity, or # SSA9MTKT for 3,000 pounds capacity. These will provide you with the added support and stability you need and the lift should not even be a factor. I have included a link to the i

Since a camper is pretty much a static load (does not vary greatly in size or shape) going with rubber springs or leaf springs would be the way to go. My top choice is a Timbren system, # TDR2500CA. These springs are going to help stabilize and level the truck, reduce road shock and side to side roll. They have a high 6,000 pound

Can Suspension Enhancement be Added to a 2005 Dodge Ram with a Popup Gooseneck Trailer Hitch
I am not familiar with the Pop Up Hitch Gooseneck Hitch but I did look over the instructions on their website. It looks as though the brackets on the hitch that attach to the frame rails on the truck mount to the inside of the rails. If this is the case, you will not be able to use the Firestone Suspension Enhancement, # F2299, because it, too, attaches to the inside of the frame rail. I have included a link to the installation details for the Firestone springs for reference. You may be able

Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Towing a Gooseneck Trailer
For occasional towing with your 2011 Dodge Ram 1500, I would go with the Timbren suspension enhancement system. If you do not have a Quad Cab, use # TDR1500DS. If you do have a Quad Cab, use # TDR1500DQ (instructions linked for reference). The Firestone systems are good when you carrying varying sized loads and have to adjust the ride accordingly. But for occasional towing of the same trailer, the Timbren system would be the way to go.

Recommendation for Suspesion Enhancement Compatible with a Gooseneck Trailer Hitch, 2006 Dodge Ram
In order to determine if the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, # TDR2500CA, and the B and W gooseneck hitch you have installed will interfere with each other, you will need to take a look at the installation details, linked below, and the video showing installation on a similar truck to see if any of the same attachment points are used. Based on the video and instructions, to me it seems unlikely but possible that the two will interfere with each other. Also, these springs are designed for the Mega

Are Timbren Vehicle Suspension Enhancement Springs Needed for 5th Wheel Towing, 1995 Dodge Ram 1500
The vertical pin weight of a 5th wheel trailer should be between 15 and 20 percent. On an 8,000 pound trailer, that equates to 1,200 to 1,600 pounds pressing down on the bed of the 1995 Dodge Ram 1500. This is a fair amount of weight and will most likely cause some sag at the rear and suspension enhancement can help. The addition of springs like the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, # TDR1525H2, will help keep the truck level and absorb road shock when towing your 5th wheel trailer. They will also

Will a Firestone Airsping Kit Help the Factory Suspension on a 1998 Dodge Ram 3500
A Firestone Air Spring Kit should help quite a bit with a heavy load. It can help get the truck closer to level and it will provide two more springs betweent the axle and truck so the factory leaf springs can share the load. As long as your truck is a standard height pickup and not lifted or a cab and chassis model, the F2071 kit should fit and work fine. I have added a link to the instructions for this kit below.

Why Do Air Ride Helper Springs have to be Deflated if Lifting a 2008 Dodge Ram by the Frame
You are correct. If you have air helper springs on your 2008 Dodge Ram, it is recommended that the vehicle not be lifted by the frame. The reason is that because of the way the springs are attached to the truck, lifting the truck by the frame could over-extend them. This could cause damage to the springs. Deflating them would allow them to expand more than if they were inflated. I have included a link to the instructions below.
