When it comes to installing a suspension enhancement system on your 2016 Ram 1500 The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR1500DQ will work for you.

This system has a 8,600 pound capacity and improves suspension, handling and safety. It also provides additional support as needed, so you always get a smooth, comfortable ride. This system increases stability and reduces vehicle sag.

When it comes to getting the correct spacer kit for your lift you first need to measure the distance from the underside of your frame where your bump stop sits to the axle directly below where the spring makes contact. The Timbren system kit measures 5 inches tall when unloaded and spring should sit around 1 inch above your axle when it is installed with no load. You should then measure the frame to axle distance while unloaded and subtract 6 inches which is the height of the spring and the 1 inch gap, this will tell you how many spacers you would need.

Timbren offeres a 1/2 inch spacer # TA25722-90F00 and a 1 inch spacer # TA25723-90AD00. Timbren does not recommend using more than 4 spacers per side.
