- I have contacted Timbren and for the specific rear suspension kit that you referenced that # TOTTUN4, you will need approximately 6-1/4 inches of clearance between the frame and the leaf spring on your modified 2003 Toyota Tundra vehicle suspension.
I did pull a set of Timbrens from the warehouse and the measurement from the top of the leaf spring to the the top of the Timbren spring is 5-1/8 inches, and if you add approximately 1 inch like you have indicated that will give you approximately...

- Suspension enhancement kits provide additional support which helps the suspension of the vehicle but they do not increase the weight capacity of the vehicle since the capacity of a vehicle is more than just the suspension capacity. So what the kits like the Air Lift # AL59570 are designed to do is give you the ability to tow in a safer and more level way within the capacities of the vehicle.
I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2016 Ford F-150 for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Increase Towing Capacity For 2003 Jeep Liberty
- The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TJRL4 you referenced is not designed to increase the tow weight capacity on your 2003 Jeep Liberty. There are many elements that determine the towing capacity of a given vehicle. The engine, transmission, suspension, and overall structural rigidity of the vehicle should be taken into account. The capacity is dictated by whatever the lowest rated component is. Increasing the load bearing capacity of the suspension (which the Timbrens...
view full answer... - How Does Timbren Suspension Enhancement Weight Capacity Affect Vehicle Weight Capacity
- The weight capacity for the suspension enhancement kits we offer can be confusing in how it's listed but basically the kits provide their capacity in additional suspension support. So it adds that much support to the vehicle's capacity already listed. For example the part # TDR5500 would add an additional 12,000 lbs of suspension support to the vehicle.
Now to make things even further confusing (hopefully not) this does not actually give the vehicle more weight carrying capacity. It just...

- The Super Springs SuperCoils Custom Suspension Coils # SSC-25 are desinged to upgrade your vehicle's front suspension. With the upgraded suspension, the ride will likely get a bit stiffer, as the SuperCoils work to take bounce out of the vehicle's suspension.
The SuperCoils are not designed as a leveling kit, but the nature of the springs will increase the vehilce's ride height by approximately 2 inches.
These springs are great for trucks with bumper guards, snowplows, or armored plating...

- The capacity of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TFER35092B, for Ford E series vans is 3600 pounds total.
Suspension enhancement is designed to help your existing suspension handle the loads you require of it, but does not increase the vehicle weight carrying capacity. We have an informative article on the Timbren systems that may be helpful in making your decision.

- The SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer # SSA1MTKT are not intended to increase the height of your 2007 Nissan Frontier. The stabilizer is meant to provide more support for your vehicle when carrying heavy loads in the cargo area or towing a trailer as well as protect your existing suspension and your brakes and tires.
This product will maintain the stock height of your vehicle and the only way it should raise the height is if your vehicle is already sagging due to poor support due...

view full answer... - Will Rear Suspension Enhancement Springs Increase the Tongue Weight Capacity of a Vehicle
- Rear suspension enhancement will not increase the tongue weight capacity of a vehicle. They will only reduce the amount of sag in the rear suspension. I looked up the owners manual for your 2008 MKX and it looks like the maximum tongue weight capacity for your vehicle 350 lbs no matter what additional components are used. My recommendation would be to reduce the tongue weight on the trailer. If your travel trailer has anything mounted on the tongue such as propane tanks or storage bins,...

- I spoke to my contact at Timbren and she informed me that the height of the rubber spring is 4-3/4 inches plus the thickness of the plate which is 1/4 of an inch.
You should note that suspension enhancements are designed to work on vehicles with functioning suspension, if your suspension is worn out I would not recommend you use this system on your vehicle.
view full answer... - How Does Weight Capacity of RoadActive Suspension Kit Affect Towing Capacity
- The capacity of the suspension enhancement kits we offer for vehicles like your 2017 Ford F-350 is basically how much additional support they can provide to help out the factory suspension of the truck. So the # RAS3611-SLHD can provide up to 3,000 lbs of additional support which will allow your factory suspension to carry the weight easier.
This does not increase the capacities of the vehicle though as it basically just gives additional support to carry the current capacity in a safer way.

- Suspension enhancement kits, like the SuperSprings Custom Suspension Stabilizer and Sway Control Kit # SSA13MXKT, help to support the factory suspension on your 2022 Chevy Silverado 2500, but they won't increase the weight capacity of your vehicle. The only way to increase your weight capacity is to have the Chevy look at your vehicle and have them install what they deem is necessary (if at all possible).
If you're needing to tow a trailer that's over the weight rating of your truck then...

- It is not a problem for the Timbrens to rest on the axle but they may affect your unloaded ride characteristics as you note. You can try shifting around the cargo load in the truck to see if this changes the spacing between the spring and axle. As noted in the instructions, which are linked for you, there may be no visible gap when this kit is installed on certain medium- and heavy-duty vehicles.
All suspension enhancement kits for your 2003 GMC Yukon XL, whether air bags or jounce springs,...
view full answer... - Does SuperCoils Kit for 2020 Ram 1500 Increase Towing Capacity of Truck
- This is a good question, but the overall weight capacity of a vehicle does not increase necessarily when going with stiffer springs like with the part # SSC-51 that you mentioned. You do get additional suspension support which means the suspension would sag less when carrying weight that still falls within the capacity of the vehicle but since overall weight capacity is based on several other things like frame strength, brakes, transmission, wheels/tires, cooling system, etc. you don't...
view full answer... - Is There A Slight Lift On The RoadActive Suspension Kit
- I reached out to my contact at RoadActive Suspension and they verified that with your 2017 Ford F-150 unloaded the RoadActive Suspension Kit # RAS3611-Y may give you anywhere between 1/4" to 1" of height. Depending on how the truck is loaded, the extra height may vary.
Just a reminder, the RoadActive Suspension Kit is not designed to give vehicles more height. However, you may get more of a height increase just because there is an added product on your vehicle.

- The capacity of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TWRW22 that you referenced is 8,600 lbs for both sides together.

view full answer... - Will Helper Spring/Suspension Enhancement Products Increase Payload Capacity of 2019 RAM 2500HD
- None of the suspension enhancement/helper springs we offer will increase the stated payload or suspension capacity of your vehicle, but they will provide additional support for the existing suspension. The Timbren # TDR2500D Aeon springs will offer up to 8600 lbs of support, but they won't increase the vehicle capacity.
The Timbrens are a nice product, but once the preload (gap between spring and axle when rear suspension isn't compressed) is taken up, the springs will be pretty stiff....
view full answer... - How Do I Determine If I have Torsion Springs or Coil Springs on my 2003 Chevy Tahoe
- If your truck has four wheel drive it should have torsion bar suspension as this is the preferred suspension for off-roaders because it allows for ride height adjustment. If you have a 2-wheel-drive Tahoe then you should have a coil spring suspension setup since most 2-wheel drive vehicles have coil springs.
An easy way to tell if you are still not sure would be to look at the front suspension. If there is what looks like a spring behind the front wheel then you have coil springs.
Basically,...
