While the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFR1504E may be able to technically fit without using the spacer, it will likely not offer you the best performance. It is supposed to be pretty tight and without the use of the spacer, the Timbrens will have to travel more, so they won't be quite as good without it. I highly recommend trying to get the spacer on the system to get the most out of the system.

I was able to pull up the online towing specs for your 2018 Ford F-150 and it looks like there is still a somewhat large potential range even within the specs that you provided depending on your axle ratio, drivetrain, and wheelbase. At the low end…

If you're wanting to install the Timbren #TFR350SDJ on your 2022 Ford F-350 then you'll want to measure the distance from where your factory bump stops are installed down to the point of contact on the axle. The Timbren #TFR350SDJ are…

Generally speaking, most leveling kits lift the front of the truck 1-2" to match the rear as the factory ride height on most pickup trucks nowadays is about 2" lower in the front than in the rear. This is usually to compensate for squatting…
