What Does The Weight Capacity Rating of Timbren Springs Refer To

Question:

This item says its for a Ford Explorer with Sport Trac. I have a 2005 Explorer with Advanced Trac. Will it work for this model as well?

The weight capacity of the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMFK10R is how much vertical weight the springs can handle pushing down on them while towing/hauling. So basically it refers to tongue weight, payload weight or pin weight (if you tow a fifth wheel/gooseneck trailer). These particular springs can handle 2,000 lbs but please keep in mind they will not increase your vehicle's weight-carrying capacity so you wan't to make sure you are not exceeding that.

Yes, The Timbren Suspension Enhancement System - Rear Axle part # TGMFK10R is designed for the Ford Explorer Sport Trac with the advanced trac feature (which really just means it has active rollover protection). The name of the vehicle is still Sport Trac and the Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TGMFK10R is a fit.
