Question:

I am interested in the Timber TFR250SDG spring helpers. How are these different from the Sumo Spring SSR-139-40-2? I Plan to purchase one or the other next week so any info would be helpful. Thanks..

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TFR250SDG and SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-114-47 are both great options for a 2011 Ford F-250/F-350. The Timbrens will be stiffer so they have a bit of a rougher ride but this also means that they provide more support. The Timbrens are more popular due to the added support and durability so this is what I recommend.
