Timbrens vs Air bags
Looking to put one or t'other on my '02 Duramax, mostly for ride, but also to pick up a bit of load capacity. I do know that the Firestone bags are what B&W recommends using with the T.O. Ball. Anyb...

I have a 2008 Ram 2500 CTD with 103K miles. When I first put on the Timbrens I loved them. I had almost an inch between the Timbrens and the axle. Fast forward a few years and I just changed the Timbrens out for Firestone Ride Rite air bags. Once the suspension got down to where there was about a half inch of clearance from the Timbrens to the axle, the truck was riding rough as even relatively small bumps unloaded would engage the Timbrens harshly. I think the Timbrens work well when a truck is fairly new. Once the suspension has sagged a little after many miles, I think air bags are better because the Timbrens don't have enough clearance. At least that's how it worked on my truck. Love the air bags. Good luck.
