Question

Question:

I got a 2006 dodge 2500 Cummins. I need a little extra rear suspension help. Bought a fifth wheel that is right at 13000 lbs. squats is a little too much. Looking for the least expensive fix that will work. My truck is the quad cab with the 6 1/3 ft bed.

The Timbren kit part # TDC2500CA that you referenced would be exactly what I would recommend for your 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins. This is the most cost effective priced option that also will easily get rid of the sag you are experiencing. It's also one of the easiest to install kits available and a solution that we have seen work really well over the years for people towing like you.

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