Help with squat...

jbrew717 · May 4, 2014

2006 1500 on Bilsteins all around. The fronts are maxed at 2.1". Truck sits perfectly level unloaded, but squats under a load. I'm not a fan of it. What's my best option? Here's a pic of my baseball team in it today... maybe 700 lbs max. I tow a small pop-up camper, and haul my quad or wood sometimes. Should I buy the timbren ses kit? Hellwig helpers? I'm lost!

I think some airbags in the bag would do what you need.

The Firestone Ride-Rites are reasonable and I have read good reviews on them

I agree a set of aribags will fix the problem.

I'm a big fan of Trmbren springs. But I would do some measuring and calculate the load to buy specific bumps rather then buying a kit. I use them all around on my truck and they work great! Totally passive system can't be beat IMO.

What's wrong with the Timbren SES kit that is specifically made for our trucks?

That's a very good question. First, although I think their individual pieces are priced very reasonably and I found their kits to be priced a little high plus the capability more then my needs required. They didn't have a kit specifically for a lowered truck, so I put together my own and it was so basically simple that it's what I recommend doing.. If they have a kit that suits your needs then I recommend using it.

I'm thinking about throwing a 1" rear spacer in and also going with the Timbren kit.

I would try the Timbren springs first as they may do everything you want without the spacer.
