Is a 2" Gap Too Much After Installing Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System

Question

Question:

I bought and installed the Timbren GMRCK15S and installed on my 2007 Chevy Silverado crew cab that has a 3 inch lift. There is a 2 inch gap after install, assume I need a 1 inch spacer. Cannot find on the product info page what size bushing is used in the GMRCK15S. Is it the 3/8inch or the 1/2? Do I need to buy a longer bolt or will it come with one? Thanks.

The ideal gap between the bottom of the jounce bumper and top of the contact point is about 1/2"-1" but you can go more if you don't want them to engage as soon or as often. Therefore, in lifted applications you'll need to use spacer to get the gap down to where you want it or the recommended 1/2"-1". This can be done using the Timbren Spacers part # A25723-90AH00 for 1" and or part # TA25722-90P00 for 1/2". The spacers can be stacked and as you noted you'd need a longer bolt which can be obtained at pretty much any hardware store as it does not come with.

You would want to go with the Timbren kit that fits your 2020 Ram 1500 part #TDR1500DS and then since you have a 6 inch lift you'd need a quantity of 12 of the Timbren 1 inch spacers #A25723-90AH00 to take up the extra space.

Hey Matthew, yes the Timbren kit part #TTORSEQ1 that you referenced would work great on a vehicle that is lifted but you have to use spacers to take up that extra space created like with the part #T68MR. How big of a lift does your vehicle have?
