The Timbren system I would recommend recommend would be the part # TGMRCK35S. It's the lighter duty of the two kits but the heavier duty part # TGMFK25S but it's going to provide a very stiff ride. The # TGMRTT35S still provides the 8,600 lbs of support which will work great.

The HD is really needed only in very extreme situations like tow trucks.
