I've been running this kit on a 2020 Ram 1500 and while towing heavy they are amazing and feel cushy yet supportive. When unloaded they are a bit harsh but not terrible. I like that they are zero maintenance. Set it and forget it installation.
@@etrailer honestly? I have a 1997 Ram 1500 ext cab short bed 4x4, on LT265/75R16Es, the GVWR is 6400, this last weekend I took a load to the dump. I was on the bumpstops, and knew I was overloaded, the scale showed 10550. I didn't damage anything. Timbrens may seem cool, but are not strictly necessary.
I installed these today on my 2017 Ram 1500. I was really surprised how easy it was to remove the old one's I'm surprised they even stayed in place and never fell out. Just a little tug with my hand and out they came. Putting in the Timbren's was a little more difficult, however. I couldn't get them to stay in place so I put a 2 x 4 and a 3/4" piece of wood under them and let down the back end of the truck after I jacked it up under the tow hitch. In they went. No problem. Can't wait to hook up the travel trailer to see how they work.
Thank you for sharing your personal experience with this installation. It can be difficult to get the Timbrens to get seated. Using a 2x4 is a great idea to press it into place. www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Timbren/TDR1500DS.html
What y/m/m vehicle is it installed on? When installed, the Timbren springs should have 1/2 to 1-1/2 inches of space or pre-load between the spring and the axle with the vehicle unloaded so the ride of the unloaded vehicle should not be affected. Worn coil springs can cause the rear of the vehicle to sag to the point where the Timbrens are in contact with the axle even when unloaded. www.etrailer.com/Vehicle-Suspension/Timbren/TDR1500DS.html
Great job, finally someone showed unloaded and loaded with bumps and turns.

Great video. Thank you
Timbrens are nice , but go the extra mile and put on beefier coil springs, too.
That's great advice if your towing needs require it, thanks!

More of a ram commercial!
NOT true!, Excessive stiffness with no load , beat youup jarring.
