Timbren Suspension Enhancements

I have a 2012 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew. Pulling a 35' Passport about 6,800 pounds with an equalizer hitch. Pulls good but thought about adding these to get the truck more level. Any experience with product and install?

They work well for me. Install was a 20 minute process.

I would suggest that you initially not use the included spacer until you drive around empty and see how the ride is. The issue is the spacer not allowing enough clearance before contact to allow the suspension to work.

When empty, I have about 1 1/2" of travel before the Timbren rubber makes contact and ride is good. When loaded, the Timbren makes contact and compresses the Timbren about a 1/2". This also results in a good ride. You just don't want the Timbren taking up the slack and slapping against the stop all the time.

It also helps to have good shocks.
