What is Total Height of Timbren Suspension Kit part # TDR5500

Question

Question:

I am looking to purchase the TDR5500 kit for my 2019 ram 5500. I use it as a service truck so it stays around 18,500 lbs. The back of the truck has began to sag some will this kit raise the back up a little or will it just end up riding on them the whole time? I saw the height of the spring is 5 inches but I would like to know the total height with the brackets. Thank you

Hey Mike, the total height of the Timbren suspension kit part # TDR5500 is right at 7 inches with the spacer and the mounting bracket. This kit will definitely get rid of the sag as it is capable of providing and additional 12,000 lb of support. What do you use the truck for?

It's a service truck for mobile repairs with a 16 ft box. It has a liftgate and is full of parts, tools, air compressor, generator, and fluids

@Mike ahh yeah makes sense. When I had a guy come out and work on my Bobcat he had something similar. It had a crane on it and everything.

Both Firestone and Air Lift stand behind their products well but I'd say the quality edge does go to Firestone. The rubber is made from a heavier duty material and the way the rubber attaches to the plates is better as well so you'd want the…

Hey good question, Adam. There is not a specific limit on how many spacers you can use with Timbrens. Most trucks that use Timbrens would not be lifted more than 4"-6" anyway, and I have heard of people using up to 6 spacers on each side. I…

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…
