Expert Answers about Timbren
- Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2016 Ford F-150 Crew Cab 4x4
- The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT1504E is a confirmed fit for your truck. With a 1,100 lb tongue weight trailer, this system will help to keep the rear end from squat and your headlights from being too high to see the road as intended. These will act as a shock absorber as well as helping to stabilize your truck when under load. These spring are made for severe service vehicles like tow trucks so I don't recommend then for your truck as they can actually cause your truck...

- For a wheel and tire that big your best option would be the Timbren kit part # ASR35HDS02 which is set up for wider tires and also has a 4 inch lift built into it. This is the same 3,500 lb capacity though.
That being said we can only safely recommend using trailer rated wheels and tires wit this kit.
For just a hub without a drum you would want the part # AKIHUB-655-6-K.

- Both of the kits you mentioned are a fit for your 2016 Ford F-150. The difference is that the part # TFR1504E has a 6,000 lb capacity and the part # TFRTT1504E has a 7,000 lb capacity. You would want to go with the lower rated spring as it will be a smoother ride quality. The higher capacity will be harsher.

view full answer... - Which Timbren Suspension Kit for 2017 Ford F-250
- There are 2 Timbren helper spring kits for the 2017 Ford F-250. First we have # TFR250SDJ which has an 8,600 pound capacity and fits 2- and 4-wheel drive models. And second we have # TFRTT350J which is rated for 8,000 pounds and also fits 2- and 4-wheel drive models.
The higher weight capacity and the fact it's not as popular as the lower rated kit is why there is a price difference. I prefer to recommend the lower capacity kit as it will give you a smoother unloaded ride quality.

- Let's first look at the numbers. A trailer weighing 9,000 pounds will have a tongue weight in the neighborhood of 900 to 1,350 pounds. But when you calculate tongue weight for weight distribution you also have to factory in the weight of any cargo loaded behind the rear axle of your 2005 Ford Excursion.
So for example if your trailer's tongue weight is 1,100 pounds and you have 200 pounds of cargo behind the rear axle of the Excursion the total tongue weight would be 1,300 pounds and...

And second we have # TFRTT350J which is rated for 8,000 pounds and also fits 2- and 4-wheel drive models.

- I will be happy to help with some rear helper springs for your 2017 Ram 3500 4x4 diesel short bed. First, for your application (towing a 5th wheel trailer) I do recommend going with Timbren springs rather than air bags since Timbren springs do not require maintenance or for you to add/remove air from air bags. But air bags are superior in other ways including having the ability to level the bed side to side and adjust the ride quality to be more or less stiff.
For Timbren springs that...

- The Timbren Silent Ride Suspension System will not bolt directly onto an i-beam trailer frame. However, as you mentioned, you can absolutely weld a solid plate to the inside of the i-beam frame where the frame brackets sit which will allow the system to work for you. I called Timbren and was able to confirm this. I highly recommend you have a quality and experienced welder perform this task. If you have 2-3/8" diameter trailer axles then you will want to use part # TSR7000T04 but if you...

- The springs in both Timbren kits for a 2016 Toyota Tacoma 4x4, # TABSOSR, and # TTORTUN4L, are both 3-3/4 inches tall. The difference is that kit # TABSOSR is intended for vehicles without a U-Bolt Flip Kit. And # TTORTUN4L is designed for vehicles with 3 Leaf Springs in the rear suspension.
To avoid a stiff ride a better option would be air bags, # F2407. They will allow you to adjust the air pressure in the bags for the best ride quality. I have linked a video review of the Firestone...

- Both the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TTORSEN04 and the Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs # AL60732 work in conjunction with the rear coil springs of your 2008 Toyota Sienna van.
The Timbren system uses 2 Aeon hollow rubber springs that fit inside the Sienna's coil spring. The rubber spring provides additional support by increasing resistance between the upper rubber spring and the lower mount that is attached to rear axle. So, when weight is added to the rear of the van, the Timbren...

- You can absolutely use Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System on a custom trailer application, however the instructions state that the axle-less systems are not recommended for triple applications. With whatever system you end up using, you will want to leave a minimum of 4-7/8 inches of clearance above the tires for the suspension travel.

- For a suspension upgrade on your 1216 StarCraft 24 RLS, I recommend the Timbren Silent Ride Suspension for Tandem Axle Trailers w/ 2-1/2" Round Axles - 7,000 lbs # TSR7000T06. This system replaces leaf spring suspension to provide a stable ride distributing weight evenly between both axles. Rubber springs absorb road shock.

I recommend using the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2598 over Timbrens for your application. The Ride-Rite air bags have the advantage of being able to adjust individually to guarantee you even load distribution, and are going to be less rigid than the Timbrens.
As far as a fifth wheel hitch, you are going to have to use a Sidewinder because you have a Rambox...

view full answer... - Will Timbren Helper Springs Cushion Ride of 2018 Chevy Colorado when Towing with Weight Distribution
- It is possible that the weight distribution system you are using is rated too high for the total tongue weight of the trailer. Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of the trailer when loaded and ready to tow plus the weight of anything loaded behind the rear axle in your 2018 Chevy Colorado. So for example if the trailer tongue weight is 500 pounds and you have 40 pounds of stuff behind the rear axle the total tongue weight would be 540 pounds.

- Timbren rear helper springs # TFR1504D for your 2012 Ford F-150 4x4 will definitely help with the sag you are experiencing when towing your Stealth toy hauler. But when not towing or carrying a load in the truck bed you will likely experience a stiffer ride, more jarring on bumps than the stock suspension.
For a similar option that features a softer spring style we have SumoSprings # SSR-117-40 rated at 1,000 pounds, or # SSR-117-47 rated at 1,500 pounds. These springs will have more...

This will help brace the rear suspension which will help the vehicle ride better and not have quite as much body roll.
