The Timbren Suspension Enhancement # TFRTT350J has a maximum capacity of 8,000lbs and installs directly to your frame with no drilling required. Whereas, the SumoSprings Rebel # SSR-128-40-2 have a maximum capacity of 3,000lbs at 50 percent compression.

In your application I recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement # TFRTT350J for its higher payload capacity since you mentioned you were going to be towing a heavier 5th wheel at 10,000lbs. However, it is possible that you may have a fairly stiff unloaded ride.

Both of these springs will provide as an excellent upgrade and will help take the stress off your axles when pulling heavy loads, while giving a smoother ride.
