Sorry to hear about the bracket not fitting properly. I wasn't sure if Fred got back to you or not, but I wanted to make sure you knew what we knew. With that said, Timbren said you can just use the part already on your vehicle without the bottom bracket that was supplied. Just make sure at least 80% of the rubber jounce is making contact with that plate when these are engaging with it. If it isn't that much of the spring hitting it, definitely let us know. But if it is 80% or more, you are good to go! What are you going to be towing?

Hey, I’m sorry you’re running into that, those are supposed to be a pretty straightforward bolt-on since they mount right to the frame where the factory bump stops were. Can you tell me a little more about how they’re not fitting? A couple things that would really help narrow it down: A. Is the bracket not lining up with the frame holes, or are the holes there but off just a bit? B. Are you running into an obstruction (like an exhaust hanger, brake line bracket, or something else in the way)? C. Does it seem like the bracket shape itself isn’t matching the frame? On these older Rams, the most common issue is something sitting in that space usually an exhaust hanger or factory bracket that needs to be loosened or worked around, not removed entirely. If you can share a bit more detail (or even a quick pic), I can help you pinpoint exactly what’s going on.

Love hearing this! Really appreciate the detailed feedback and photos. That extra stability when you're loaded up can make a huge difference. And installing them at 11 at night—that's commitment. Hope they treat you just as well on those mountain roads. Safe travels and we'll definitely make sure Dee Dee gets the shoutout.

Glad to hear they are working well for you, Ryan! Now that they are on, where you headed?

Now that its been a year Im very impressed with them. Theres no ride detriment without the 5th wheel attached and they do a great job of mitigating squat

Wow, thank you for sticking with us, Don! That is awesome. I think you made an excellent choice here. Timbrens are tough and the heavy duty are SUPER tough. Glad to hear these were a good fit. Love the photos! Is that your own property?

The TIMBRENs work as stated during when I am pulling anything heavy. However, when the truck is not pulling anything, anyone riding in the rear seat gets a very hard jarring jolt when driving over any roadway repairs, bumps, expansion joints on bridges. I wished that I would have went with the Super Springs, or the Road Active Suspension. I may replace the TIMBRENS later.

Glad to hear the Timbren systems worked out so well for your RAM Van Mitchell! It’s great that you noticed the smoother, more progressive response compared to the factory bump stops, especially under load. Thanks for sharing your experience with both the front and rear installs, that’s really helpful for others considering the upgrade. What kind of loads are you usually hauling with your van?

They definitely look like they are helping, Orlando! How are they when you aren't towing? We hear a lot of people say they can be pretty harsh when unloaded.

Bud, thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review! I'm glad to hear the suspension upgrade helped reduce the sagging and porpoising while towing. I also really appreciate you including the installation pictures and sharing your tip about removing the rear wheels. I'm sure that will help the next person tackling the install. Thanks again for choosing etrailer!

Thanks for taking the time to share such a detailed review and all of the pictures! The unloaded ride is a concern we hear fairly often with SES upgrades, so your experience with the 1" gap and rough-road testing will be really helpful to others considering these for their F-250. We appreciate the kind words about Naomi and our team as well. Looking forward to your update once you get some miles on them with the Rockwood!

Hi there, thanks for reaching out, that’s actually a common issue with this type of trim. The one you tried is a standard flat insert, but some RVs (like your NOBO) use a slightly domed trim to help it sit over the screw heads in the track. If the screws stick up even a little, a flat trim won’t fully snap in place, which sounds like what you’re running into. The best way to find the right replacement is to remove a small piece of your original trim, lay it flat, and measure the full width from edge to edge. Most are either 3/4" or 1", but the shape matters too, not just the width. If yours has that domed profile, you’ll want something similar or a softer vinyl that can flex over the screws. If you’re able to send a quick photo of your track or old trim, I’d be happy to help you find a better match.

Niiiice, I see what you did there!! That looks like a sweet setup!

Glad to hear they worked well for you Jerrod. Hope you had a good trip!

Glad they are working well for you, Kevin! Well, while you are towing, that is. We have heard that these can be pretty rough when unloaded, but work great when you are loaded. A quick release function on these would make taking them off when not towing a lot easier. I may pitch that to Timbren to see if they can work something out. I will tell them to call it something like the Kevin Device if they agree! ^___^ Sounds like quite the trip! What has been your favorite stop so far?

Thank you Darrell, we're glad to hear your Timbrens are still on the job!

Thanks for sharing your experience Thomas. It is great to hear the Timbrens made a noticeable difference in ride quality and reduced body roll on your E350 Class C. We also appreciate the heads-up on the install. That kind of real-world feedback about brake line clearance is very helpful for others working on a similar setup. Would be nice if they had a stronger option, if you need the 5K, might need to go to airbags, but who wants to deal with having to air up if you don't need to. Where are you off to on the next adventure?

Nice setup David, thanks for the photo!

Glad we had the right suspension upgrade to help with the squat Dennis! How is the ride when you are unloaded?
