The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System that is compatible with your 2004 Ford F-250 is the part # TFR250SDE. These are rated for 6,000 lbs and will do a great job at helping to support the pin weight of your 5th wheel trailer.

Please note that suspension enhancement systems do not increase the weight capacity of the vehicle they are installed on. They only help support a suspension that is in good working order.

Attached is an installation video as well as the written instructions for you to reference.

The Curt A20 #C16140 and Curt Q20 #C16130 are very similar 5th wheel hitches with the A20 being the more recent and improved version. The major difference is the A20 has interlocking jaws to further secure your king pin as opposed to the Q20 jaw…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…

Hello Tony, I really wish I had a database that tells me exactly what goes on each camper, but unfortunately, I don’t. Based on my research, you should have a 4,400-pound axle (you can double-check your axle tag to confirm). If it is NOT a Lippert…
