After my research between Timbrens, AAL, or AirBags I chose Timbrens. The major squat when I tow equipment is now gone. I have had air bags and AAL on past trucks, I am very pleased w/the Timbrens this time. I am also so impressed w/the EB every time I tow! It is the only way to get a new diesel truck without any diesel problems.

I bet the install was much easier than airbags too.

If you had to chose between the two, which do you like better?

Install was pretty quick. About 30 minutes and very simple system. I like the timbrens for what I do. Sometimes I just need to go grab equipment and I don't worry about airing up air bags. The truck just sagged so much w/no help and now it is great. Plus the load feels lighter w/o the suspension loaded down so bad. I am usually driving totally unloaded so the timbrens are not even a factor most of the time. They are just there when I need them w/o any maintenance or worry.

I have the timbrens also and usually have 3-4 hundred lbs. in truck daily. I am very pleased with them no more squat.

Those of you who have added auxiliary suspension "help", have you thought about the added tongue weight when that load becomes a lateral load while turning or switching lanes? The suspension has to control the load laterally as well. Just wondering if I should be concerned. I plan on upgrading my trailer setup with a heavier unit (7500-8000#)

As long as you stay within your trucks payload it will handle fine.

Timbrens

I love my Timbrens on my F150 supercrew. Keeps my rear level when towing my 31FT TT. Also, great customer service if you have any issues or questions. On a previous vehicle I had an issue with the space between the rear axle and they sent a different spacer solving the problem. No experience with airbags but Timbrems work great for my needs.

Just make sure you have the correct Timbren SES for what you are trying to do. I had Timbren FRTT1502D (7,000lb) that I installed on my truck. They were just too stiff for the travel trailer or driving around unloaded comfortably.

How much gap do you have between the timbren and the axle? I just put them on and have 1 3/8 gap. If I used the spacer there would have not been the minimum 1/2 inch. I suspect the difference is the bed liner and tonneau cover are about 120 lbs which is causing the suspension to squat a bit. I am concerned that I might have too much of a gap by the time I use the WDH it might bring it up. I have yet to try it since the snow is finally melting where I am in NY.

I only have 1/2" as well, But I always have a few hundred lbs. in the bed.

Mine was right at 1/2" with the winter sandbags and closer to 1" without.

I have have 1/2 as well and have no issues when using then my WDH.
