Best 2009 Ford F-150 Suspension Enhancement Options- Video
Speaker 1: Today we're gonna be taking a look at the best suspension enhancements for your 2009 Ford F-150, F-250, and F-350.Here we're gonna have a leaf spring style helper spring, followed by our airbag helper springs, and then over here, we're gonna have a jounce style helper spring, and this is gonna be our lower overload helper spring. Then finally, on the end, this is gonna be our upper overload helper springs.Now, each one of our types of suspension enhancements are gonna do the same thing. We're carrying a heavy load or hauling a heavy trailer, they're gonna prevent the back end of our truck from sagging, causing more strain on our suspension, as well as lifting up the front end, creating less contact for our tires, and not a safe driving condition. They're all gonna help prevent all those things from happening, so let's take a closer look at some of the benefits from each one.Our helper leaf springs here, are not only gonna give us that load leveling support, but they're also gonna give us a little bit of anti-sway, because of the way they're gonna mount. Our leaf spring style helper springs are gonna mount to our factory leaf springs. They're gonna activate our lower overload springs to help evenly distribute weight, ensuring the truck stays level for better handling, and it's gonna reduce side to side sway and body roll. more

Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs Installation - 2009 Ford F-150- Video
Today in our 2009 Ford F-150 we're going to take a look at and also show you how to install the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs for the rear axle. Part number is AL59544. Now this is the common problem most people have when they're looking into air bags, too much rear vehicle squat. We've got our water tank loaded up here just to simulate either pen weight or tongue weight or even a load in the back of your track. What's happening is the back of the truck gets pressed down. Now the main effects that you're going to have on your vehicle with this situation is going to be excess wear and tear on that rear suspension and also a rougher ride. more

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2009 Ford F-150- Video
Today on our 2009 Ford F150 we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part number TFR1504D. This is what our truck's original suspension looks like. You can see our rear axle taking the brunt of our heavy load. This will result in our rear end sagging while the front end rise is giving us decreased stability, steering, and traction. Afterwards the Timbrens are installed, you can see that our rear suspension will have increased stability. Our truck will have better performance while hauling heavy loads because our truck is leveled out from front to back. You're going to have a hollow Aeon Rubber Spring here. That's going to help compensate for an off-center load, so if you have more weight on one side of the vehicle than the other, it's going to allow it to operate separately from one side to the other. more

They're not going to increase the load capacity, just going to help with the load-carrying capacity that it already has. more
