Should Spacer of Timbren Kit # TFRTT350J be Used Or Not Pros/Cons

Question

Question:

I just received my FRTT350j for my ‘19 f350 DRW. Do I need the 1” spacer when installing on a non lifted truck? Would it help/hurt if it was used? Thanks

Helpful Expert Reply:

If you use the spacer of the Timbren kit part # TFRTT350J it will engage the springs sooner. In general this is going to give you more support at a sooner time when the suspension begins to be compressed. What this ends up doing is creating a much harsher ride quality so it's not what I would go with. You can try it both ways though and decide which you like better.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
