Recommending a Timbren Suspension Enhancement System for a 2011 Ford F-250
Question:
I just purchased a 2011 Ford F-250 diesel and am planning on towing a 14,000 pound 5th wheel having a pin weight of a little over 2,000 pounds. I was considering the Timbren or air bags, but I don't know which would be best.

Expert Reply:
Air bags certainly have their uses, but for hauling with a fifth-wheel hitch, I recommend Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TFR250SDG, for your 2011 Ford F-250. The pair of rubber springs will increase the stability of your vehicle, reduce sag and limit body roll. They are also simpler to install and will not require the type of regular maintenance that air bags might.
I have added links to a video review and installation on a 2011 Ford F-250, as well as a link to a help article on Timbren suspension enhancement systems that you may find useful.
