kzspree320, I had the same low clearance issue and contacted Timbren. They are very good at customer support, and sent me different frame brackets no charge.

Mine attach where the factory jounce bumpers were. The Timbrens are directly under the frame between the frame and axle and are now too long. A bracket wouldn't change mine but may help with others. I didn't want to saw any length off my Timbrens to get the necessary clearance.

Maybe they had some shorter Timbrens that would have worked, but I thought the suspension sag would just get worse. I am hoping the air bags will provide continual support and keep the suspension from sagging more. Got the Firestone air bags on sale for less than $300. I hope suspension sag issues are in the past.

Thanks for the info. Timbren is a very good company and the products are good. They have been great and I am certainly not knocking them at all. I got my moneys worth. Just wanted to touch on the suspension sag issue for trucks with some mileage on them.

Making the spacer shorter is exactly what Timbren suggests in a too long scenario. Although I am not suspension expert it sounds like you have a sagging suspension problem. Air bags will certainly mask the problem.
