Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Timbren bump stop suspension?

I put them on my 11 f250. My 4 horse GN trailer flattens them like road kill. Im not impressed and plan to put on bags. I would not use them again.

I have had in on my 2016 Ram 2500 since new works great.

Put them on my ram 3500 They work great, no charge to the ride when empty, but greatly reduce squatting/eliminate squatting when pulling fifth wheel.

Timbrens work great Sam


I have them on my old Dodge Cummins 2500..........basically made it into a 1 ton


have a 350 gallon sprayer in the back a good deal of the summer.....filled up the pickup still sets level

I've been running them on my F-350 for a few years and have been very happy with them. Inactive without a load but work great as soon as you throw some weight in. Theyre especially nice when you tow the camper down to hunting camp beccause you don't have to mess with airbags or get the heck beat out of you while hunting. Ocassionally I'll grab a ton of wood pellets or other materials while in town without planning on it and I never have to think about adjusting or changing anything. I highly recommend them.

Never heard of these until now. Looked them up and for under $300, I'd say it's worth trying anyway.

I had them in a 1/2 ton that I had a lightweight (relatively) slide-in camper in. They helped with sway quite a bit I thought.

I put Timbren’s on my F350, I use it to haul a 4000 pound camper and they work very good. You won’t ever get leaky air bags or lines. Mine make no contact with the axel when the truck is unloaded so they really don’t affect the unloaded ride.

Huh. With all the success folks have had, I wonder if they sold me the wrong ones.

I considered the timbrens and air bags, but went with spring steel and hte hellwig spring steel helper/leveler/whatever springs have worked great for me.

You can get different designs that do different things.

could be , there are different weight ratings on them.........your rear end should not sag with the correct Timbrens

While looking out of curiosity for a pair of Timbrens for my F350 4x4 I noticed they made 3k and 8k capacity Timbrens.

OI don't know if the spelling right. It's very common addition to 1 tons so the overloads catch sooner. I have a 8'10" camper on my '08 Ram, it does help the sway. But the big aftermarket rear sway bar helped even more. On Chevys and Dodges the empty ride worsens, not so much on Fords.

Put a set on my '16 F250 about a year and a half ago. Haul a large cabover camper and tow a four horse trailer. I'm sure there are better options, but when you factor in the price and ease of installation, they're a good solution. I'm happy with mine and would buy them again.

Well I just ordered a set of the 8k version.

$333 so if they don't hold up it's not the end of the world.


The bale bed weighs about 2000lbs, the bales are about 1600lbs(x2) so it would be around a 5200lb load on the pickup.


Thanks again for the replies.

I finally got these bolted on, maybe a month ago.


Haven't torture tested them yet but so far so good.


1 ton of tubs and the bed at a ton.

ghey.

Maybe Jim,

but it looks like they just might work for Sam's needs.

All this new schit these kids gotta buy for their pickups.

Sam
Any pics of original bump stops with that kind of weight?
