- Recommended Suspension Enhancement Parts for a 2016 Winnebago ERA 170 A
- We have some suspension enhancements for your motorhome but aside from these parts we don't have any OEM suspension replacement parts so you'll need to reach out to your local RV or vehicle dealer for those parts.
To add some suspension enhancements to your 2016 Winnebago ERA 170 A I recommend the following:
SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - # SSR-338-54
Roadmaster Rear Anti-Sway Bar - # RM-1209-131
The SumoSprings will help your OEM suspension with up to 1,400 lbs of weight...

- I wish we had suspension enhancement that fit your 2017 Hyundai Santa Fe, but at this time we don't have anything that fits. I do have a really great option though that's actually better for trailer towing than suspension enhancement. Instead I would recommend you get a weight distribution system. WD systems are better than suspension enhancement for towing situations as it helps level the tow vehicle by redistributing some of the tongue weight of the trailer up to the front axle. This...

view full answer... - Timbrens or Air Suspension Recommendation for Use with Weight Distribution
- For what you are looking for I would actually recommend air bags over Timbrens. Timbrens offer great suspension support, but they are not adjustable. For what you are looking for the ability to fine tune the amount of suspension support would be the best solution.
The correct kit for your vehicle would be the Firestone part # F2582 as it has been confirmed as a fit for your vehicle.

- The air bag kits we offer aren't for the purpose of lifting a vehicle unless you mean lifting it 3 inches when under load as a way to get rid of suspension sag.
What I would recommend for suspension enhancement would actually be the Timbren part # TFR1504E as it would not interfere with any fifth wheel brackets and would give you the same suspension support without having to maintain air pressure in any bags.
view full answer... - Overall Dimensions of Timbren Kit # TDR1500DQ
- The overall height of the Timbren suspension kit part # TDR1500DQ is 5-1/2 inches and the width is 4 inches.
Timbren recommends that there should be 1-1.5 inches of clearance between the spring and contact point on the vehicle for best ride quality and support.

- For your 2019 Ford F-250 there are two RoadActive Suspension kits for your truck available. There's the part # RAS3611-SLHD which is intended for versions of the vehicle that do come with overload springs and there's the # RAS3611-S which does not.
Go look at the rear springs on your truck, you should see a bundle of metal springs held together with a metal band. If you see a spring on top of this that looks separate and angles up to make contact with a bracket on the frame that means...

- We do have a suspension enhancement solution that will work with your 1998 Toyota Sienna. I'd recommend the Firestone Coil Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F4118. The nice thing about an air system is you can tailor the firmness of the suspension to fit what you're carrying or towing. The air pressure can be adjusted from as little as 5 psi all the way up to 35 psi.
Timbren doesn't offer a solution for your vehicle, but in all honesty the Air Bag solution would be a better option because...

- The 68 inch long axle you mention would unfortunately be too long, as it would stick out either side by an additional 8 inches, compared wo what you have now. This would make your fenders completely ineffective which would likely endanger vehicles following you down the road.
We do have an option for you, however. I'd recommend the Timbren Axle-Less suspension system, part
# ASR2KHDS02 which combines the suspension with the axle. This particular unit is meant for wide, off-road type tires...

- The first step in figuring out what replacement axles to get for your boat trailer is to measure the hub-face and spring-centers of your old axle. After you find that out then you can choose axles that match what your old axle had. I have attached a photo showing where you need to measure on your old axle.
You can then use the Hanger Kit # APT5, U-Bolt Kit # CE23002, and Double Eye Spring # e54SR for 3,500 lb axles. Be sure that you use the following measurements for this hanger kit according...

- The RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit # RAS3611-S is actually a great solution to eliminate the wheel hop you are experiencing. This system eliminates axle wrap, wheel hop, and bottoming out. The force that is causing the wheel hop will be absorbed by the RAS kit.
In addition to solving your wheel hop problems, the RAS will also keep you level when towing or hauling while helping to reduce sway and body roll. It also helps to extend the life of your leaf springs,...

- In order to replace your axle you will need to know your current axle capacity. In addition to the axle capacity you will also need to know the hub face to hub face measurement to match your current axle. Once you have this information you will be able to find a replacement, assuming one is available. Since you have square axles now and would be switching to a round axle you would also need new U-bolts.
If you cannot find an axle with the same length and capacity the other option is to...

- The SumoSprings Rebel Custom Helper Springs - 2 Piece - Rear Axle # SSR-301-47-2 you referenced will work on your 2004 Dodge 2500 pickup. It prevents sagging and reduces bottoming out as a result of carrying heavy loads, like when towing your fifth wheel. It also helps with problems such as off-center loads, body roll, and sway when turning sharp corners because each spring works independently.
This product bolts onto your frame and rear axle and requires no maintenance. It provides a...

- The Firestone Coil-to-Air-Spring Conversion Kit - Rear Axle, part # F2595, will work on your 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. This is NOT a direct replacement for your factory air shocks, nor do we offer any direct replacement. However, I did confirm with Firestone that they will work with your existing factory air shocks. They are rated to have up to 3,000 of load leveling capacity. It will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity, but it will help your truck by offering more support under...

- We do offer complete air suspension kits and many replacement parts for them. The linked page displays all available rear-axle air bag kits for your 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 4X4.

view full answer... - Replacement Bump Stop Helper Springs for 2021 Tundra TRD PRO
- If the vehicle still squats even when using weight distribution, my suspicion would be that the weight distribution system hasn't been set up correctly or the system that you're using could be under-rated for the travel trailer's tongue weight + the weight of anything that's carried in the truck bed behind the rear axle.
I'd suggest redoing the initial setup to confirm that things have been set up correctly. I'd also confirm the travel trailer's fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight,...
view full answer... - Lift Kit Recommendation for Starcraft Satellite 17RB Travel Trailer
- The Dexter Torflex Axle Lift Kit # K71-707-01 will only work if your Starcraft Satellite 17RB has a #10 Dexter Torflex 2-5/8" axle, and this kit will provide 2-5/8" lift for your travel trailer.
Alternatively, Dexter Trailer Springs Over/Under Kit for 3" axles # K71-385-00 won't work if you have a Torflex axle- so it's important to know what kind of axle you've got on your trailer. If you actually have a 2-3/8" round axle, this might potentially be an option, since it would potentially...
