Timbren question

I don't have them, but you should make sure your TC doesn't lean to one side or the other. If so, they won't easily fix that.

I have been using them on my last two trucks for years towing TT's and FW.

Unloaded I don't know they are there, same ride/feel. The ride is more stable and less sag when loaded.

All my future trucks will have Timbrens installed.

I have had them on 2 different GM 1 ton trucks and they work as advertised.

I've had Timbrens for about 5 years and my experience up until two days ago matched the other users.

I am now driving around daily with 500 pounds of tools in my truck. The space to the Timbrens decreased to about 1/4 inch. Two days ago, I installed the "optional" one inch rubber spacers so the Timbrens are in constant contact with the axle.

The ride is a bit stiffer. Fortunately, the truck is back to it's original rake, and, there is almost no lean or roll going around corners. And I am expecting one inch less sag when I load the camper.

I like it.

I have the HD version on my truck. There is about 1-1/2" gap when unloaded so it does not affect the ride at all. When my camper is loaded there is a small gap or they are just touching and provide cushion down the road. I haven't noticed a harsh ride at all even though I was sceptical at first especially when they weren't compressed at all with the camper loaded. I thought the initial impact would be harsh, but it's not.

Ditto...but with a fifth wheel. They were a great addition.

You normally install them without a load on the truck, leaving about a 1 inch gap before they contact when loaded. I've had them on 2 trucks, and never noticed a harsher ride.
