Weight Rating of the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500D for a 2015 Ram 2500

Question

Question:

Other sites only show Timbren # TD2500D with a 6000# rating. Your site shows Timbren # TDR2500D with a rating of 8600 #. Can you explain. Would be putting on a 2015 ram 2500 4x4. Thanks Dave

I tried looking up the part TD2500D that you referenced but I couldn't find anything. The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System # TDR2500D that fits your 2015 Ram 2500 is rated for 8,600 lbs as listed on our site. I verified this with Timbren.

Please note that this weight rating will not increase the weight capacity of your Ram. It is only designed to help support an OEM suspension that is it good working order.

Attached are some review videos and the written installation instructions for you to check out.
