Congrats on the new truck! The correct Timbren Kit for your 2023 Ram 1500 is the item # TDR1500DS you were looking at. The other options are for service body trucks. This system has a 6,000 lbs load leveling capacity that will keep your truck from squatting when towing a trailer or hauling a heavy payload. This system will not work with a factory air suspension system.

I have attached an installation video below so you can see how to get this kit set up.

Answer 1

Both the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System #TDR1500DS and #TDR1500DQ that you referenced are designed to fit the 2011 Ram 1500, but there are a couple differences that may factor into which set will work for your specific model Ram and…

Your camper that weighs 6,000 lbs is going to have a tongue weight figure of 600-900 lbs so based on that I would go with a lighter duty Timbren part #TDR1500DS which has the 6,000 lb rating. The problem with the higher capacity Timbrens is that they…

The lighter duty Timbren kit for your 2016 Ram 1500 part #TDR1500DS is the way to go. It gives you the support you are wanting but since it's not as high capacity as the other kits the ride quality will be smoother.

I'd first try adding more spring bar tension from your weight distribution system as it sounds like you may not have it setup properly as it's a properly rated system and you are still experiencing sag. That said the Timbren kit I would…

When sag is caused by a trailer then the best solution to fix that issue is weight distribution. But you have to have a system that is rated for the total tongue weight of the trailer and it may need some fine tuning to get the truck to ride level.…

For suspension enhancement for your 2017 Ram 1500 that is towing a boat trailer the Timbren Kit part #TDR1500DQ would be the correct kit for if you have a crew or quad cab. If instead you have a regular cab model you would want the part #TDR1500DS.

A regular cab truck is one that has no back seat at all. Basically it's just two doors and nothing behind the front seats. I attached a picture of what a regular cab Ram like your 2014 Ram 1500 would look like. If you don't have a regular cab…

Even though you'll be towing a pretty heavy trailer I would go with the lightest duty Timbren part #TDR1500DS that fits your 2019 Ram 1500 as this will give you the support you want without destroying your truck's ride quality.

Answer 10

I recommend the Timbren #TDR1500DS for your 2016 Ram 1500. They're for standard occasional towing with a capacity of 6,000 pounds. They're confirmed on your Ram as long as you don't have a factory air suspension system. The 6,000 pound…

Answer 11

Pop ups like what you have are pretty cool since they allow you to bring ATVs with you pretty easily. The problem is that you end up concentrating so much weight on the front of the trailer you end up with quite a bit more tongue weight when loaded…

Answer 12

Generally speaking, a properly rated and installed weight distribution system will not require the use of additional suspension enhancements. However, I am aware of the factory rear coil springs on your 2017 Ram 1500 and their tendency to sag.…
