If the Timbrens are the right application then the ride will be the same as stock. I have Timbrens on my current truck, not because I need them but because they give a better ride when towing.
IMO the Hellwig springs don't add the stability that Timbrens do. I had some SuperSprings on my previous truck (2010 F150). They're similar to the Helwigs. They will raise the rear about 1" or so. The ride empty will be rougher than stock.
IMO Timbrens or Airbags are the only way to go if you want to keep the ride stock. I'm confused as to why some complain about the ride being stiffer with Timbrens. They sit 1" above the axle when the trucks empty. If the truck has good shocks then the Timbren should never come in contact with the axle when empty.
If your at GVW then you must have a 1/2 ton. That's a lot of TT for a 1/2 ton. 8000+lbs and 35'.
