We were wondering if DH would be able to put the timbrens on himself. What tools did you need? We are weekend campers and stay mostly in a 1-3 hrs radius with 1 or 2 longer trips per year.
You're in the same situation I was in. The installation is pretty much straight forward using just ratchets or box end wrenches. No specialty tools needed. You just take the short factory overload stops off and install the longer Timbrens in their place. Not a hard job at all. I think I might have taken the rear tires off just to have an better view. Look the Timbrens up on line and it will tell you exactly what you'll need. I think the Timbrens would be good for you. I sold my 5er years ago but left the Timbrens on. Don't even know they are there. And yes, the Timbrens will fix the squat.....
