  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement Improve Ride On 2012 Toyota 4Runner When Empty
  • Installing a suspension enhancement system like the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, part # TTORSEQ will not affect the ride of your 2012 Toyota 4Runner when empty. The system is designed to help the ride when a heavy load is placed in your vehicle. It will work independently side-to-side to help compensate uneven loads and takes the majority of the bumps when traveling on rough roads, while reducing body roll on turns. I am not aware of a system that will lower your 4Runner. You will want...

  • Will The SuperSprings Vehicle Suspension Kit # SSA17 Increase The GVWR on My Ford F-450
  • Adding the SuperSprings vehicle suspension kit, part # SSA17, to your Ford F-450 will not increase your vehicles GVWR or towing capacity.

Installing these suspension enhancement kits will not increase the vehicle capacity and are designed to be used with a suspension system in good working order.

  • Will the RoadActive Suspension RAS54FR Lift the Back of the Vehicle Once Installed?
  • I spoke to a tech over at RoadActive Suspension and the # RAS54FR can lift the back of the truck up a little once installed. He did mention that it shouldn't really be noticeable and at most will be about an inch once completed especially on a new vehicle. It can be more if the suspension is getting a bit worn out, however.

  • Benefits of Installing Sumo Springs # SSR-338-47 on Motorhome on 2013 Sprinter Cab Chassis
  • Although the Sumo Springs # SSR-338-47 can help reduce body roll when the vehicle is under load, the primary benefit is to provide additional support to the rear suspension, and therefore help keep the vehicle level, prevent the rear of the vehicle from sagging and to keep the vehicle from bottoming out when under load. The springs will progressively adjust, as more weight is added, the springs become more stiff. The Sumo Spring is meant to replace the factory bump stop, and the manufacturer...

  • Alternative To Weight Distribution To Reduce Vehicle Sag When Towing Trailer w/ 2006 Honda Pilot LX
  • If Honda states that a weight distribution system is not to be used on your 2006 Honda Pilot LX, I would follow the recommendations set by Honda. However, I do have a solution that will help reduce vehicle sag when towing your 2006 Flagstaff 625D. Not installing a weight distribution system, will not allow you to reap the benefits that a weight distribution system provides. With a weight distribution system, the load you are carrying is distributed throughout the frame of the vehicle....

  • Will SumoSprings Coil Spring Suspension Work With Firestone Air Suspension On 2010 Toyota RAV4
  • The Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs, part # CSS-1125R are not intended to lift your 2010 RAV4, but are designed to provide extra support when carrying heavy loads. These are designed to work with a suspension system in good working order. They will not increase the load-carrying capacity of the RAV4. I would not recommend using the SumoSprings with Firestone air suspension like part # F4174 at the same time since the Firestone system installs in the coil springs and may interfere...

  • Does Air Lift Vehicle Air Bag Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO # AL60844 Provide Lift in Ride Height
  • The Air Lift Vehicle Suspension Kit for the 1967 Pontiac GTO, part # AL60844, is a correct fit for the 1967 GTO (as long as it is not the wagon model). Air bag kits like this are designed primarily to provide support to a suspension that is in good working order when it is handling a heavy load. They are not designed to provide suspension lift or increase weight capacity so your ride height will remain unchanged. But if faced with a heavy load in the rear they will help prevent some of...

  • Will The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement TFERSDLB Help With RV Bumper Bottoming Out?
  • The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TFERSDLB, along with any other jounce-style spring, will not increase rear bumper on your vehicle to prevent bottoming out. This system is made to maintain the vehicle's factory ride height when weight is added, but it will NOT increase your factory ride height. If you only bottom out when you have weight on the back of your RV then perhaps this will in fact suit your needs. If your ride height looks to be lower than it should be then you...

  • What is the Towing Capacity of a 2007 Ford F-150
  • The maximum towing capacity of your 2007 Ford F-150 will vary depending on cab, wheel size, drive type, engine size, and rear axle ratio. Therefore, the only true way to tell what your trucks towing capacity is would be to find both the Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR) and the Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). These figures can be located on the information tag inside the drivers door jamb. If you subtract the GVW from the GCWR, that will give you the maximum gross trailer weight (GTW) you...

  • Does Timbren Suspension Enhancement System Change Ride Height of 1998 Chevy Express Van
  • Because the use of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System does not affect the empty ride height of the vehicle, you would be able to see no differences between a before and after installation photo. Once the vehicle is loaded to a certain point, the rubber springs that take the place of the factory bump stops will contact the axle and keep the vehicle from sagging further. The system greatly improves ride quality of loaded vehicles, and also helps reduce body roll that is felt during...

  • Operation of Auto-Leveling Air Suspension in 2003 Cadillac Escalade Hitched to a Car Trailer
  • The Cadillac Escalade has an optional auto-leveling air suspension system that will activate to bring the vehicle rear back up to a level position. Generally speaking it is preferable to have the tow vehicle and trailer level (or very near to level) when hitched and towing. The 2003 Escalade has a towing capacity in the range of 7000-lbs. This figure will vary slightly based on the specific version you have. If the weight of your loaded car trailer is within the tow capacity of the vehicle...

  • How Does a Lift Kit Affect Towing?
  • A body lift does not affect towing since it's only the body of your vehicle that's being raised; the stock suspension and wheels remain at their original height. With that being said, from what I was able to research online, your 6 inch Pro Comp Lift Kit may actually be a suspension lift. As far as the actual towing weight capacity is concerned, I am not able to tell you if and how much your 6 inch lift would affect it. I recommend reaching out to the manufacturer (Pro Comp) since they...

  • Is it Normal for Super Springs Suspension Stabilizers to Be Noisy on Bumpy Uneven Roads
  • A certain amount of noise is normal with the Super Springs suspension stabilizers, especially on rough or uneven pavement. According to Super Springs, the bracket that attaches the Super Springs stabilizer to your truck's leaf springs has two possible sets of holes for the roller to install into. If the roller is installed in the upper holes, try using the lower holes which should quiet things down.
