Timben SES

[Greene728]

All,
I recently purchased a 2012 F-250 with the 6.2. After doing a short test tow with my 5'er and also hauling a pretty good load on my 20ft gooseneck trailer, it seems the rear suspension is a touch on the weak side compared to the 05 250 I came from. It's my understanding that Ford now uses a softer spring pack in the rear to try and improve the unloaded ride. There is also only about 7/8in difference between the front and the rear from level. Thats fine when im not towing, but the squat is a little more than I like when hooked up. Will the timbrens help much with this? The truck pulls outstanding! But, I'd like a little more support when loaded up. I don't want the complexity of air bags or the harsh ride with add a leafs. Any pertinent experience or recommendations would very much be appreciated.

Thanks!

The same for mine. In and done. Very pleased.

I have installed Timbrens on my last three trucks and am very pleased with them.

Timbrens don't engage the stops until the rear end has come down about two inches. You would probably, still have more squat than you like.

My 08 F250 has a factory plow prep package. It had a bit of a squat, even unloaded. I was browsing a Super Duty forum and saw where other folks had fixed that problem by replacing the rear spring blocks with a set for an F350.

F250 blocks are 2 inches tall. F350 blocks are 4 inches.

I did the swap. My rear end, went from being an inch low to an inch higher than the front. I also did the Timbrens, but, that was for increased stability for carrying a truck camper.
