Will the Timbren System Raise the Front of a 2006 Dodge Ram with and Without Plow Installed

Question

Question:

With the timbrens on a 2006 dodge diesel can I expect to have a lift on the front end of my truck with them installed? If so how much? Also with a 1200# v plow installed on the front end, how much would the front end sag?

When your truck is unloaded the Timbren Suspension System part # TDF25004B that you referenced won't affect the ride height.

Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System will raise the front of the end of the vehicle when heavy equipment, such as a plow, is attached. Headlight beams will be pointed in the right direction and tire wear will be reduced.

It is hard to say exactly how much your suspension will sag with this kit installed. We had a customer come back and tell us that with their 1,400 lb plow normally the front of their Ram 3500 would sag 4 inches, but with this kit installed it now only sags 1 inch. So most likely that is what you would see as well.

I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
