The # TFR250SDJ is the right choice for your 2023 Ford F-250. The # TFRTT350J has a different design for severe service which would be something like a slide-in camper or salt spreader you're keeping in the bed of the truck all the time. The regular Timbren Suspension Enhancement System # TFR250SDJ is what you want for support while towing your 5th wheel in the summer.

I have attached an installation video below for your reference.

Yes, you are correct. In order to correctly take this measurement you will need to measure from the center of the spindle to the center of the main axle tube. I have included a picture for reference.

The 7290 that you see is a casting number. It is found on AL-KO hubs that fit #99 spindles. I found that the bearings used are #28580 which would be the inner bearing and #25580 which would be the outer bearing. For the seal use #91030.

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…
