How Much Suspension Support Does the Timbren Kit for a 2016 Ram 3500 Provide
Question:
Yeah, I have a 2016 Ram3500 4x4 single rear tire and spring suspension. We plan on towing a large fifthwheel in the future full time. My question is, with the single rear tire truck, how much does this increase my towing? Ive seen 5k but was wandering if that is a fact. Thanks

Expert Reply:
Suspension enhancement like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR3500CA which has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Ram 3500 will not increase the vehicle's overall towing capacity, but it will give you additional suspension support so that you can carry the vehicle's overall capacity in a safer way.
Towing capacities are calculated by more than just the suspension. The power of the engine, size of the brakes, frame strength, etc. all have to be taken into consideration.
The # TDR3500CA will give you an additional 8,600 lbs of suspension support, but will not give you that much additional capacity.
