How Much Support Do the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Systems Add on 2019 Ram 3500

Question

Question:

Hello. I have a buddy with timbrens on his truck who swears by them. Looking to add a set to my new 19 Ram 3500. How much actual support do those give you? Do they increase the capacity of the truck?

There are two different Timbren Rear Suspension Kits available for your 2019 Ram 3500. The Timbren # T94VR will provide 8,000 pounds of load leveling support and the Timbren # TDR3500CA features an even higher capacity of 8,600 pounds.

Any aftermarket suspension enhancement system, including the Timbrens, will not actually increase the capacity of your Ram 3500. The listed capacities are simply what the springs themselves can handle. If the payload capacity of your Ram is lower than this then you will still need to adhere to its limits.

If you constantly have a lot of weight in the bed of your truck or have a heavy truck camper attached then the higher rated # TDR3500CA will be a good option but if you often have the bed empty or don't tow too much the lower rated Timbren System # T94VR will be the better solution to ensure a smoother ride.

I have attached a couple video demonstrations that you can also check out.
