Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2023 Ford F-350 Towing Fifth Wheel
Question:
I have a 2023 F350LWB. I have not towed with it yet. It has 500 miles on it. But I did set my 5th wheel on the pin. Man does this thing squat. Went down 3.5”. No good. I am considering the Timbrens or possibly the Torklift TLA7200 Upper spacers. In your opinion which is the better route to take here. Reduce squat. I had the Torklift on my 19 GMC and liked them but am hearing good things about the Timbrens as well. Thoughts..

Expert Reply:
When people are looking for suspension enhancement for their trucks like your 2023 Ford F-350 I generally don't like to recommend Timbrens unless the vehicle is going to be basically towing heavy all of the time as they are known to make the ride quality pretty harsh. Instead I would recommend actually the Supersprings kit part # SSA46 which will give you the support you are wanting without making the ride quality rough and actually improves handling and sway.
The Torklifts aren't a bad option either but you would need the part # TLA7311S for that. For the money I would recommend the Supersprings as the better option.
