Expert Answers about Salt Spreaders

• Can Salt Spreader be Used with Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210
• An important thing to keep in mind when using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # # D210 or any similar adapter is that it will reduce the tongue weight capacity on your trailer hitch by 50 percent. For example if the trailer hitch on your truck has a tongue weight limit of 500 pounds, this will be reduced to 250 pounds when using the adapter. As long as the weight of your loaded salt spreader remains under the reduced capacity of your hitch, there is no reason you couldn't use it with this...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2022 Ford F-250 With Plow and Salt Spreader
• The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ will work, but I recommend the # TFRTT350J instead. This is the severe service kit which is designed for applications like your salt spreader where the truck has a constant load. The difference is that the # TFRTT350J already has the springs compressed which will give you a better ride with the spreader. Normally I would recommend air bags like the # F95FV since you won't have a lot of weight in the truck outside of winter. These will...

• Hitch Extender Recommendation for a Can Am Commander for Salt Spreader
• If your Can Am Commander has a 2 inch hitch the hitch extender that would most likely work best for you would be the # HE18. This product has more than enough capacity for your spreader, but you should note that when you use a hitch extender like this you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch in half due to the additional leverage created. You will need to make sure the hitch on your Commander has at least twice the capacity for the weight of your salt spreader. Especially if your...

• Recommended Suspension Enhancement for 2022 Ford F-250 With Salt Spreader
• Your best option will be the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRTT350J. This is a Severe Service kit which is specifically designed for something like your salt spreader or other constant heavy loads on your 2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty. The Timbren system becomes more rigid as more weight is added and will provide the additional support you are looking for. Since they work independently, they will also help to compensate for uneven loads and help reduce body roll when swerving or...

• Recommended Timbren Suspension Enhancement For 2008 Dodge Ram 3500 With Salt Spreader
• Based on the fact that you are concerned about the ride quality, and you keep the truck unloaded in the summer, I would recommend the # TDR3500CA over the severe duty # T94VR. The # TDR3500CA still has a high capacity at 8,600 lbs for your salt spreader but does not have the same Severe Service kit designation and design as the # T94VR. It is likely you will still see some difference compared to before the installation of the jounce-style springs, but it will not have the same impact as...

• Front Hitch Mounted Receiver Hitch For a Residential Snow Plow On a 2018 Ford F-150
• When attaching the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31083 on your 2018 Ford F-150 you do not need to have a leveling kit, but I do recommend some Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1094F to help support the extra weight that will be on the front of your F-150. These will help support your suspension and cushion bumps better as you plow. The SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow # SB324-140 is the plow that I recommend for you. It can be operated from either the in cab remote...

• Reducing Rear End Sag on a 2015 Chevorlet Silverado 1500 4x4 when Carrying Heavy Loads
• SuperSprings like # SSA5MTKT are really good at stabilization, specifically side to side and body roll, but for sagging there are better options. For your 2015 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 I recommend Timbren springs # TGMRCK15S. These springs are going to prevent sagging when carrying heavy loads in the bed and will also help with stability by decreasing body roll. I have included a link to a video showing an example installation for you.

• Recommended Timbren Jounce Springs 2020 Chevy Silverado 2500
• To help suspend payload carried in the truck's bed, I'd recommend using # TGMRCK25D, which are rated up to 8600 lbs. Keep in mind, these will NOT increase the manufacturer's stated suspension capacity. For a slide-in camper or salt spreader, using # TGMRTT35D is recommended.

• What Timbrens Work with My 2022 Ford F-250 4x4 with a Severe Service Kit?
• For Timbrens that will work with your 2022 Ford F-250 with a severe service kit, I recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle # TFRTT350J. This kit is designed to be used with vehicles with a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or a mounted crane or other aerial device. Not only does it come with an 8000-pound load-leveling capacity, it also reduces body roll and helps compensate for off-center loads. Another great thing about these Timbrens is that they allow for a smooth...

• Best Timbren Suspension Enhancement System For 5TH Wheel Towing With a 2019 Ford F-250 4WD
• The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ will be best for your 2019 Ford F-250 super duty towing your 5th wheel. The other Kit # TFRTT350J is their severe service springs which are designed to always be loaded. This works best on trucks outfitted with slide in campers, service beds or salt spreaders that will always reside in the bed. Using this kit on an unloaded truck will result in a less than desirable ride.

• Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2006 Ford F-150
• For a standard 2006 Ford F-150 you want the 6,000 lb Timbren Set # TFR150D. The 7,000 lb Set # TFRTT150D is a Severe Service kit and is designed for vehicles that will have a pretty constant heavy load like if you use a slide-in camper or salt spreader frequently - or even if you used your truck with a crane or aerial device like what you see with a tow truck. Attached is an installation video of the 6K Timbren kit being installed on a 2004 F-150 for you to check out.

• Best Timbrens for Towing 5th Wheel With 2024 Ford F-350
• The best option for your 2024 Ford F-350 is the # TFR350SDJ. These have a load-leveling capacity of 8,600 lbs and will give you the additional support you're looking for while towing your 5th wheel. The # TFRTT350J you were looking at is a severe service kit so you would not want to use this for towing. This is designed for hauling things like a truck bed camper or salt spreader.

• 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty Timbren Suspension Enhancement Kit Recommendation
• I recommend going with the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFRSDJ for your 2024 Ford F-450 Super Duty because it's designed better for pickup truck-type applications. The other Timbren kit # TFRTT350J is designed more for Severe Service vehicles like that will have more constant heavy loads in them (like a slide-in camper, salt spreader, or crane) so if your F-450 is only going to be used like a pickup then the first kit is what you want to use. We've actually had the opportunity...

• Recommended Timbren Bump Stop for 2018 Dodge Ram 2500
• A good fit for your 2018 Ram 2500 is the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500D. With the weight you are hauling/towing, this help prevent your rear from sagging and keep your truck level. There's also the Severe Service Kit # TDRTT3500E, but that is more for use with a slide-in camper or salt spreader. The Timbren # TDR2500D I recommended for you is a better fit for your RV and fuel weight as well as for good loaded and unloaded ride quality. One thing to note is that...

• Air Bag Kit For 2024 Ram 2500 With A 2,400 lb + Truck Bed Camper
• Since your 2024 Ram 2500 will be hauling a constant load with the camper in the bed, I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 7500 XL Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL57589. The 7500 XL kit will always be recommended for trucks with a constant load like a salt spreader or truck bed camper. Basically, the air bags are larger in diameter than the standard bags, giving them greater strength at lower pressure. These will help tremendously to eliminate any and all sagging, while improving your handling...

• What Timbrens do You Recommend for Towing a 5th-Wheel Trailer on My 2022 Ford F-350?
• For the best Timbren rear-axle setup for your 2022 Ford F-350 4x4 for towing a 5th wheel trailer with a 2,800 pound pin weight, I recommend the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle # TFR350SDJ. The reason why this kit is the best for your truck is because it will provide you with greater load-leveling capacity compared to the 8,000-pound leveling capacity of the # TFRTT350J. The # TFR350SDJ is compatible with your in-bed 5th-wheel hitch. Also, the # TFRTT350J kit is only authorized...

• Recommended Rear Suspension Enhancement For A 2022 Ram 2500
• If you are asking about a front leveling kit on your 2022 Ram 2500 affecting a rear suspension enhancement system, then I can say that it will not. However, if you are asking about a front leveling system helping with rear sag and preventing the front of your truck lifting up, then I have to say it will not do either of these things, unfortunately. With that said, supplementing the rear suspension will assist with both of these things. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDRTT3500E...

• Recommended Front & Rear Firestone Air Bags for 2002 Ford F-250 4X4 with Front Snowplow
• If you install an 800-lb snowplow on the front of your 2002 Ford F-250 you will surely benefit from front-end load support in the form of an air bag kit like the Firestone Ride-Rite # F2223. This kit is a confirmed fit on your truck. For a rear axle kit you can use Ride-Rite # F2550 and an install video is linked to illustrate. I recommend using a dual path compressor kit # F2168. This allows you to control the front and rear air bags independently. If you were to carry, for example, a...
