Rear Helper Springs for a 2000 Ford F-350 2-Wheel Drive Dually

Published 02/18/2016

Question:

I am looking for suspension enhancement for my 2000 f350 2wd dually. I haul a firth wheel toy hauler along with occasional heavy loads in the bed of my truck. My concern is the rough ride the timbren or summo springs will give. But there price is more reasonable than installing air bags. Your thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Jounce style helper springs won't automatically give your truck a rough ride. This is because they get progressively stiffer the more they are compressed. I recommend Timbren springs # TFR350SDE. They work well and have a limited lifetime warranty. Plus they are compatible with trucks that have a 5th wheel hitch installed and work independently side to side. No maintenance is required and you won't have to add and remove air all the time. I have linked a help article on Timbren springs for you.
