Timbren Rubber Springs

[Yardbird98]

Has anyone tried these? I'm thinking of putting them on my Ram 1500, instead of airbags, maintenance free, lifetime guarantee. I know neither one will raise payload, but looking for less sag & more stability when close to capacity.

save your money, buy the bags. its a rough ride if you load heavy and bottom out. How much weight you talking about?


I have them.... I know

Just upgrade your rear coils with some heavier duty ones and be done with it. Easy to install.

I agree tcc coils or air bags.

 

[cableguy_hd]

bags or coils depends on what you want to spend. coils will give you a little stiffer ride all the time if you dont mind that where as bags wont. just dont buy the timbrens

Another anti-Timbren vote. The ONLY good thing about them was how it made the wife's chesticles bounce, like everything else in the truck. Felt like we were riding on something with NO suspension; brutal.

I had no problem with Timbrens on my 2003 2500. They kept it from squatting when I towed my camper. It rode as smooth as always (for a 2500). Maybe things are different with the 1500's.

I didn't think they were bad. Best part was not dealing with the air in air bags. I think the airlifts felt a little softer but.....I had about 9k behind my truck That I just sold. If anybody is looking for a set, I'll let them go for $100+ shipping. Only had them on the truck for a few months And only towed a few times. Getting an hd truck now. They were off a 14 ram 1500

That sounds like a good deal if you want them. I was LOADED down when I first used them so that played a big part in the roughness of the ride. When I added the bags it really softened it up with the same load in/on the truck.

I thought it's a good price considering they are around 2 bills and these are new. When I had my bags in they leaked. I wasn't going to deal with that.

Had Airlift 1000's & a wired compresser installed Fri. Haven't towed or hauled anything yet but looks like they will work fine. At 5 psi no change in ride or ride height. I thought the compresser was a good idea as it will maintain the pressure without having to add air all the time. lets face it they will all lose a little air over time.
