Timbren or Sumo Super Springs?

I will be ordering one or the other in a few days. I have been reading reviews of these two products on-line. I like the design of the Timbrens but, the Sumo's get better reviews and are cheaper. Any experience with these?

I'm not a huge fan of air bags. I have had them fail. If I can get by with something else I'll do that.

I'll soon be carrying a Lance 1172 on our 16' F350 Dually. I've installed Hellwig Air Bags to assist in
maintaining the Lt or Rt sag. I'm really undecided when it comes to keeping my loaded weight level.
Like many of us, I'm continually reading so many positive comments when it comes to the Upper and/or Lower Stable Loads.
With them, I'm not a fan of the Unloaded Ride Quality using the Upper Stable Loads, or Laying on my Back Re-Adjusting the Lowers.
Do you believe Timbrens along with the Air Bags will be able to maintain a Level Load and still allow the Factory Overloads to do there Job supporting the campers weight ?

The Timbrens do the job on my F-350.

Also look at the Firestone Work Rites - They are like the other two you already mentioned.

Timbrens on Tundra, Titan, and F250. They worked well on all of them.

Buddy has Tibren's to reduce sag with a heavy cab over camper on his 2012 Chevy 2500. He really likes them. Says no impact to daily driving but handles heavy load well. Nice and stable.

Good luck,

I have used Timbrens on two trucks and have had good results.

On the other hand, the Timbrens were terrible on my half ton Ram. They caused the ride to be extremely stiff and jarring, even negatively influencing handling. Probably just the wrong product for my light duty application.

I don't have an experience with Super Springs but I really like the Timbrens I put on my truck. No maintenance and no change in the unloaded ride, but they firm things up nicely under load. I think I paid around $200 and the installation couldn't have been easier.
