Are Timbren Spacers Required for a Leveling Kit on a 2017 Ford F-350
Question:
Good morning, I am interested in adding the Timbren system to my 2017 F350 Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4. I am most likely going to put a leveling kit on my truck. Can I still use this product or do I need a spacer to it down?

Generally speaking, most leveling kits lift the front of the truck 1-2" to match the rear as the factory ride height on most pickup trucks nowadays is about 2" lower in the front than in the rear. This is usually to compensate for squatting while towing with a trailer.
As long as the rear of the truck is not lifted then you will not need to use a spacer when installing the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TFRTT350J on your 2017 Ford F-350. However, if the the leveling kit does lift the rear of the truck then you will want to install increments of the part # A25723-90AH00 (1") and part # TA25722-90P00 (1/2") until there is 1/2" to 1" of space between the bottom of the timbren spring to the top of the contact point or axle.
The bolts used to attach the bump stop to the upper mounting cup is 1.5" long therefore, if the Timbren spacers are installed you would need to match the added lift to your new bolt length. For example, if you installed one 1" spacer and one 1/2" spacer then the new bolt you would need is a 3" long M10 bolt which can be acquired at most local hardware stores.
