I installed my new Timbrens this weekend. I very much like them, but there's about 2 inches of clearance instead of 1. The truck has the factory lift so there's some extra room to play with. I contacted Timbren on Monday morning and explained the problem. Without skipping a beat, they immediately shipped out 1 inch spacers at no cost to me. Can't wait to see the results. Love the customer service though.

Got them installed at my friend's house because he has a lift and it made life all kinds of easy. On the way home though, I developed a shake to the truck. Not sure if I screwed up the balance on one of the tires, but it almost sounds like the same kind of noise that's made when you only roll the rear windows down. Reminds me of a chopper blade.

That's interesting to say the least....i don't know how installing the timbers would cause that. I doubt you knocked a tire out of balence....double check all your work and go from there.

Had a buddy come over last night with a skid steer and level out a crush run of gravel to park the camper. Today I hooked up the truck to the camper after this weekend's installation of the 1 inch spacers on the Timbren springs. Man, those things are beasts! The truck hardly squatted at all. Stayed ultra level. I was so excited that I forgot to take pictures. LOL

I'm looking to get some too. I'm just going to wait to see if a used one pops up.

Pulled the camper twice now. Sits very level. Ride is a little stiff, but they're beasts.

Would you be willing to ship it to ottawa canada?
If you still want them and we can figure it out, I don't mind shipping them. I have no idea what it takes/costs to get them across the border.

I work for the USPS as a clerk and am a former carrier. Fill out this online form if you want to pay for the shipping online. You can figure the postage needed by using this: https://postcalc.usps.com/

If you wish, you can also ask for a 2976-R (make sure it's an R form) at the PO at the time of shipping or you can pick one up in advance to fill out to shorten your time at the counter.

Got the timbren installed. Based on a trailer tongue weigh of 600lbs, my wheel well height measurements are:

39 1/4"rearleft and 38 1/2"rearright(unloaded)

37" RL and 36 5/8" RR(load +timbren) 2inch drop

38"RLand 37 1/2" RR (load +timbren +wdh)

Note: My driveway isn't 100% leveled side to side.

Overall, a real simple install. Pretty happy with the ride unloaded, you don't feel it unless you hit a big bump.
