Default Timbrens Installed

After my research between Timbrens, AAL, or AirBags I chose Timbrens. The major squat when I tow equipment is now gone. I have had air bags and AAL on past trucks, I am very pleased w/the Timbrens this time. I am also so impressed w/the EB every time I tow! It is the only way to get a new diesel truck without any diesel problems.

I have the timbrens and love them. They have no impact on the ride while empty and maintenance free, and cheaper than airbags.

Do you use a WDH with that load? What's it weigh/the tongue weight? Looks good, may have to look into Timbrens with the new boat soon.

No WDH but I do when we tow the toy hauler. That machine and trailer is around 8k. I use another machine that is 10k total. I have not checked tongue weight but I guess 700-1000?.

I kept the spacer in the timbrens which places them about 1/2 inch above my axle. You can notice your truck "hitting" or "bouncing" when you hit things such as speed bumbs or uneven road. You can just tell it is not quite as smooth as the truck was w/o timbrens. It reminds me of how all my SD's felt in the same situation. This is the only negative I can find for the timbrens. It has not bothered me enough to remove the spacer though.
