Timbren Helper Spring Fit for 2007 Ford F-650

Question

Question:

I currently have 6” of vertical clearance measured from the top of axle housing to the bottom side of my frame rail.it’s my understanding the timbren system once installed should be 1” clearance above the axle housing.I can find any dimensions for them I guess if there overall height is 5” they would work and I would order.I own a regular cab straight frame F-650 that weighs 13,000 lbs empty with a GVW of 26000 lbs,thank you

The Timbren # TBDR750 measures about 9-1/2 inches in height, from the bottom of the spring to the top of the mounting bracket, so that's not going to work for you.

I spoke to my Timbren representative, and was told that given the 6 inches of clearance you have between the axle tube and the underside of the frame member, you'd want to use part # TFR650LP. The # TFR650LP sits right about 5-1/2 inches tall which will leave a 1/2 inch gap, which according to Timbren is acceptable, as they'll want to see a gap of between 1/2 and 1-1/2 inches with the truck unloaded.

Hey Melanie. The reason you can't find a replacement for your GE ARC15AACBL2 15,000 btu air conditioner is because they phased them out. In 2025 all RV AC systems had to change over to a new coolant called R32. This was a EPA mandated decision.…

Hey Jeff, I would strongly recommend the SumoSpring kit part #SS96EV for your 2025 Nissan Frontier. This will give you the support you are looking for without causing the ride quality to be overly harsh which the Timbrens are known to do. Install is…

Hey Brad, thanks for reaching out. The factory brake controllers they put in the 2015 GMC trucks are largely incompatible with EOH brakes. That is one of the specific model years we see a lot of issues with since they don't have an EOH mode.…
