Comparing Timbren and SumoSprings Front Suspension Enhancement for a 2005 Ford F-150
Question:
I use a front mount hitch to move my trailer into tight storage spot. I am looking at enhancing the front end dip as the weight of the trailer causes this. I was comparing these to the timbren kit and was wondering if this will suffice for my needs. I would also like to try and achieve less rake and a more level stance overall. Thank you.

Expert Reply:
For your application, on your 2005 Ford F-150, I think that the SumoSprings, # CSS-1094F, would be a good choice. The capacity should be more than enough for moving the trailer from time to time and it should provide a more comfortable ride.
This system is not designed to affect the unloaded height of the vehicle but rather are designed to be most functional when under a load. The same can be said of the Timbren system.
The Timbren system, # TFF150F, would be good for frequent and more heavy duty applications, but would also be a good choice.
