robbieg- You sure have me thinking with that video. VERY Impressive!

I don't tow or pull too often but the Timbrens is a must. It works wonders. There are no moving parts or compressors to maintain. Basically it gave you a piece of mind when towing or hauling heavy loads. I really hate it when mine rear end sags with heavy loads. Also you just upgraded your heavy duty load capacity with the combination of Timbrens & Rancho RS9000XL. The Ranchos are full adjustable. I set mine at 7. You can set to the max of 9 for maximum stiffness.:thumbsup:

I have the ride rite bags in the video with the remote. Love them. Adjustable for any load and well worth the $. I added RC shocks for the larger tires and improved handling unloaded. Totally great set up.

Timbrens.


which did you do first? Timbrens or hellwig?

Why did you put the hellwig on?

I was thinking about adding both for a little more stability for towing when it's windy. Wasn't sure if the hellwig would make any improvements for towing. Haven't found anyone that has done both before I came across this.

i put the Timbrens on my 2016 2wheel drive and hate them,when you hit a low place in the road or a speed bump they jar your teeth loose.

I put sumo springs on my 2wd and initially installed the spacer block but then removed it to add a bit more space between the bumper and the axle. It too would jar your teeth loose on bumps. Keeps the rear end from sagging as much though when I weigh it down. Otherwise, its like they aren't even there.

Had RoadMaster Active Suspension on my 2015 Screw for 6 years they do all that are advertised about them . I recently took them off after upgrading my shocks and changing the trucks mission from work to play . I no longer use the Highway Products Pickup Pack or carry tools and materials on a daily basis. Officially retired, it's me and the grandkids and a few light chores . RAS is a good investment !
