Timbren Suspension Kit
I am thinking about installing the Timbren Suspension Kit on my Ram 2500 pickup & would like some info from those that are now using this system.

Depends on load.
Added a set to a '14 Ram 1-ton to help support a very pin heavy horse trailer with slide out. Works great for the horse trailer, and unloaded ride is comparable to not having them. The gap allows for small bumps in the road but a larger one, or a speed bump can be felt as 'firmer'.
A lighter load is where they do not shine. We ran a gooseneck flatbed with a tractor and it barely engaged the Timbrens. Rode terrible since there wasn't enough room to allow the suspension to cycle, and the Timbrens were constantly coming in and out of contact, changing the spring rate. Stopped and took them off (2 bolts), and it made it ride stock again.
For lighter or constantly varying loads, bags or something else is the way to go. The same trailer or same TC, Timbrens would be a good investment.
We looked at getting a TC for my sig truck. I was pretty set on Timbrens if we would have got the TC.
