Question:
What is the preferred product for this problem with my FJ,the Timbren or the blue Sumo Spring? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Both the SumoSprings # SS68DR and Timbren # TABSTORSEQ will help with the sag you are experiencing, however, I prefer the SumoSprings # SS68DR. This has to do with them increasing their stiffness with the the more weight that is added to them. This will keep the ride quality as close to stock as possible when not towing while still providing the support when needed.
The Timbren # TABSTORSEQ is very similar to the SumoSprings, but is made with a more robust rubber. This will have better support while under weight, but will stay at that the same stiffness at all times. This will affect the ride fairly significantly when not towing.
