• The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TGMRCK15S, will help stabilize the vehicle, absorb shock and help keep the vehicle level when pulling your 25 ft toy hauler, but should not be used to replace an anti-sway bar on your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L.

• Suspension Enhancement Option For All Models Of The 2022 Honda Odyssey
• For your 2022 Honda Odyssey, I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # T26FR. This will fit on all models of the 2022 Honda Odyssey, and will prevent sag, improve suspension, and safety. These rubber springs have a capacity of 3,500lbs, however this does not increase your vehicle's capacity, so you will need to make sure you do not overload your vehicle. Below is a linked video of these springs being installed on a 2020 Honda Odyssey for you to check out.

• Difference Between the Timbren and Supersprings Suspension Enhancement Systems on a 2015 Silverado
• While it will not hurt your vehicle, using two suspension enhancement products at the same time could render one product ineffective or will cause one system to be used at limited potential. For example, if you try using both the Timberen Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TGMRCK15S and the SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA5MTKT, with a load in the truck, once the Timberen Springs engage the SuperSprings will not be doing much for the load. I do not recommend using both systems...

Instead of having 2 springs bearing the load, you now have 4. When towing large trailers, air bags should not be used instead of a weight distribution system. A hitch and vehicle will have a Weight Carrying Capacity...

• Comparison Of Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System vs SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs
• Both are great jounce-style systems that have similar functions.

• Comparing Timbren Front Helper Springs for a 2000 Mercury Mountaineer AWD
• The higher the helper springs are rated the stiffer the ride will be. Since the 1,000 pound springs # TFXF1004A will be more than enough for your application and 2000 Mercury Mountaineer I would go with them and limit the stiffness of the ride quality. Timbren springs # TFXF1004A are only for 4x4 models which may be referred to as all-wheel drive from the manufacturer.
