Timbrens

Timbrens are made for the truck you are using. They ride about an inch above the axle tube when you are empty so they don't do anything until you put a load on. The more weight you carry the more they squish against the axle.

I think either the 6000 or 8000 would probably work. Airbags are generally 5000 lbs so I would probably go for the 6000 model.

2000# camper causes your truck to squat 3" :H

Time for new springs....are at least re-arced and had another spring.

Then re-evaluate needs.

Jim H thanks for answering the question, I appreciate the opinion, and I had forgotten about air bags being about 5000 lbs. Its rare that a person can ask a question and get a no nonsense answer, you are the reason this is a valuable site and is genuinely helpful.

What a difference after installing new heavier duty springs on my previous truck. Pricey but worth it in my opinion.

I would go with heavier duty spring packs, rather than the Timbrens. Check out http://www.sdtrucksprings.com for heavier duty leaf packs for your truck.

As an alternative to heavier leaf packs, or in addition to them, if your F250 was not ordered with the camper package, which came with the upper overload springs and bump stops, you can add them to your truck. This will also help with rear end squat when loaded, but doesn't affect the ride when unloaded, as heavier main leaf packs do.

If the springs are dead and need re-arcing, they will be sagging all time, loaded or unloaded. If the springs are not sagging when unloaded, they shouldn't need a re-arc.

When springs ride at normal height when unloaded, but sag too much when loaded, it means the springs are simply too light/soft for the weight of the load. They need to be heavier.

If your having roll or sway then look into Hellwig sway bars.

Come on guys........

OP only wants to hear about which Timbrens..........not about new springs etc

What were we thinking :S

I have the HD Timbrens, I figured there wasn't much difference in the load capability and the construction looked more durable (thicker).
