Expert Answers about Vehicle Suspension


  • 2000 Cadillac Escalade Suspension Enhancement Kit Recommendations
  • Both an air bag system and a Timbren system are meant to enhance the performance of your existing vehicle suspension. Either system is meant to be used in conjunction with other components of your suspension system, but are not intended to be a stand alone replacement of your existing suspension. A Timbren system works to replace your existing jounce stop on either the front or rear suspension. Timbren systems work to level the load on your vehicle, increase stability and handling, decrease...

  • Recommended Air Bag Kit for a 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • I do have an airbag suspension enhancement setup for your 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser's rear axle but I would strongly recommend replacing both front and rear leaf springs first. The leaf springs are a critical part of your vehicle's suspension and without them working properly you run the risk of further damage to other suspension components. Our suspension enhancement kits are designed to aid the factory suspension not substitute or replace components. The only airbag kit we have for your...

  • Best Suspension Enhancements For A 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
  • We do carry a variety of suspension enhancements such as air bags for your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD but all of which are designed to reduce vehicle sag and aid the wear life of current suspension components. None of our suspension enhancements are designed to increase the towing capacity of your vehicle. According to Nada Guides, the max towing capacity of your truck is 10,500 lbs. Therefore, I cannot recommend you use this vehicle for towing a 15,500 lb. 5th wheel trailer. Should...

  • Are Spacers Needed to Install Timbren Front Springs on a 2009 Chevy Silverado With a 3 Inch Lift
  • Yes, you will have to install 3 spacers of # A25723-90AH00 on each side if you plan to install the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System. Each spacer is 1 inch thick and 3 will compensate for the 3 inch lift you have on your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4X4.

  • Suspension Enhancement for a 2003 Chevy S-10 4x4 ZR2
  • The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension, # AL59531, is designed to fit the 2003 Chevy S-10 4x4 as long as it does not have a track bar. A track bar is a part of vehicle suspension on some vehicles that is designed to provide lateral location of the axle. We do have a suspension enhancement system designed specifically for a ZR2 model. Take a look at the Timbren system, # TGMRS10A. I have included a link to the installation details for you to view.

  • Does SumoSprings Solo Kit Increase Towing Capacity of Vehicle
  • Suspension enhancement kits like the SumoSprings Solo part # SS98DR to provide additional support for the vehicle suspension but the reason that does not increase the overall towing capacity of the vehicle is because there are other factors that need to be considered as well like engine, braking, transmission, chassis, differential, and cooling system capacity. Since the suspension is only one aspect of a vehicle's capacity these kits do not increase capacity for everything.

  • Will the Timbren Springs # TGMRCK25S Work on a 2001 Chevy Silverado 1500 with Firestone Air Springs
  • I spoke with my contact at Timbren, and he said that the Timbren suspension can work with the Firestone air springs as long as there is room to mount the rubber springs above the rear axle. The Timbren rubber springs will replace the axle bump stops on the vehicles frame. As long as you still have the bump stops on your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, you will be able to use the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, part # TGMRCK25S. If the bump stops have been removed then the Timbren suspension...

  • Compatibility of Air Lift Compressor System with Kelderman Rear Air Suspension on Ram 2500
  • The Air Lift SmartAir II Automatic-Leveling Compressor System for Air Helper Springs - Dual Sensor # AL25491 is not vehicle specific, so it can be used on your vehicle. The Kelderman suspension has not been tested with this compressor so I can't confirm the fit. If the pressure and fittings align it doesn't give any reasoning why it wouldn't, but this has only been tested and confirmed to work with aftermarket air bags that are supplemental to the factory suspension.

  • Will Firestone Ride-Rite Air Springs # F2286 Improve Ride of Factory Suspension on 2007 Dodge Ram
  • The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F2286, on the rear of your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 is designed to absorb road shock when your truck is loaded. It provides additional support for the existing suspension. It is not designed to smooth out the ride of your factory suspension when there is no load on the vehicle suspension. It will increase stability and improve ride quality when you are hauling a heavy load. The suspension enhancements that I have are designed to provide additional...

  • Will Timbren Front Suspension System Fit 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500
  • The Timbren Vehicle Suspension, part # TGMFK15CA is designed to fit the front of your 2012 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. This system does not affect the ride when your Silverado is not carrying a load. This replaces the bump stops on your truck and there is no drilling required for installation. The rubber springs work independently side-to-side and help compensate for off-center loads. They also help take away a lot of the bumps on rough roads and extend the life of your vehicle suspension....

  • Air Suspension Enhancement That Fits 2019 Ram 3500 and 5500
  • We have air bag style suspension enhancement that fits your 2019 Ram 5500 with the part # F2404 which will work really well to provide additional support to the factory suspension as needed since you can adjust the air pressure in the bags to increase or decrease support.

  • Will Timbren Rear Suspension System # TTORTUN4 Work On A 2009 Toyota Tundra 4wd With 2 Inch Blocks
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TTORTUN4, will install in place of the bump stop on your 2009 Toyota Tundra 4wd. If your bump stop is still on your vehicle the Timbren system will fit. The Timbren system will need to have a clearance of one inch between the frame and the top of the rubber spring. This allows the factory suspension to work normally under light loads and standard terrain. When your vehicle is loaded or goes off-road the rubber springs will compress...

  • Availability of Suspension Enhancement System For Front and Rear of 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser
  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4124, would be the correct part number for the rear of your 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser if it is a four wheel drive model. They do not offer any system for the front of your vehicle. I would not recommend to try to use the rear springs on the front of your vehicle. I am including a link to the installation instructions on the Firestone rear springs. Firestone does offer lift spacers for vehicles that are lifted but they will not work with...

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Fit on 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with MagneRide Suspension
  • I reached out to my contact at Timbren who said while they haven't fit the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TGMFK15CB on a 2016 GMC Sierra 1500 with the MagneRide suspension, they have yet to see this kit not fit the front suspension of a vehicle with the MagneRide on it. So even though they haven't test fit it themselves they verified that it will work. To ensure that it will fit with your 2-1/2" level you just need to make sure that there is about 6-1/2" - 8" between the mounting...

  • Will Timbren Suspension Help Level a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser That Has More Weight on Passenger Side
  • The Timbren suspension enhancement will replace the axle bump stops on your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser. They will work independently front and rear, and side to side. So, when you are carrying a heavier load on the passenger side of the vehicle it will compress the hollow rubber spring and become more rigid as the load is applied. This will help keep the vehicle from leaning heavily to that side. It will not affect the empty ride of your FJ Cruiser. The Timbren suspension has a weight capacity...
