Between Timbrens like the part # TFRTT350J and the SumoSprings # SSR-127-54 that fit your 2022 Ford F-350 crew cab long bed I would recommend going with the SumoSprings as you get the support you are wanting without causing the ride quality to be overly harsh. Timbrens do give great support but they are notorious for being pretty harsh.

For my best recommendation for your truck I would recommend the RoadActive Suspension kit part # RAS3611-SHD if your vehicle does not have factory overload springs or part # RAS3611-SLHD for if you do. These kits are easy to install, easily adjustable, provide great support, and unlike other options improve ride quality and handling characteristics instead of making them worse.

That's a good question, but the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs #SSR-127-54 that fit your 2020 Ford F-350 are not going to bottom out despite the fact you have more than the 2,800 lb capacity rating of the springs. That weight rating is…

I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver #C31069 for your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LD Z71 LT. This receiver does not hang as low as their other Receiver #C31012 which was made taller to fit behind the front fascia used on the…

The RAS systems are by far the best suspension enhancement kits out there for vehicles like your 2017 Ford F-150 to reduce suspension sag. Main reason is that unlike other system this does not make your ride quality when loaded or unloaded (many…
