The things remind me of the old Freightliner 'Velvet Ride' suspension. Thete is no give. Velvet ride allowed truck drivers to seriously overload without fear of a sagging suspension.. They rode like a lumber wagon as well
Give me air bags and an on board compressor anyday. I can tailor the ride to the load plus the air bags have travel, the Timbrens are just solid urethane blocks. No travel.
Not true, Timbrens are not solid blocks of urethane. They are made of rubber and have a hollow center allowing a shock absorbing cushion. I even have the HD version and have never felt I was riding on a "lumber wagon".
This thread has remained civil with users of Timbrens answering the OP's questions, no mention of air bags in their post.
