Timbren Front and Rear Suspension Enhancement Systems Installation - 2011 Ford F-53- Video
Hi there motor home owners. Today on your 2011 Ford F53 chassis, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Timbren's Suspension Enhancement System for the rear axle. Here you can see our two jounce bumpers side by side. Our factory jounce bumper here is significantly smaller than our Timbren, and that's due to this is really just to be there for support when our suspension is fully bottomed out, otherwise this doesn't do anything, it never actually provides any support under most of your normal travel.With our Timbren being much longer it's going to contact the axle much sooner than our factory jounce bumper would, so it can provide support throughout our suspension travel. Because you load it up heavier and you hit those larger bumps, go over those speed bumps and things, our Timbren is going to contact and provide you with that support to help smooth out your ride, and help support extremely heavy loads to take some of that stress off of your suspension.These are direct replacement for your factory jounce bumper. They're going to mount in the exact same location, so you just simply have to remove your old one here and install your new one. more

Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs Installation - 2011 Ford F-53- Video
Dave: Hi there, motor home owners. Today on your 2011 Ford F-53 Chassis, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Air Lift's LoadLifter 5000 Air Helper Springs for the front axle. And this is what our airbags look like when they're installed. They replace our factory jounce bumper and they will go in a similar location between our front axle and our frame. There are a little bit slightly further forward, but they're going to perform similar functions, except we're going to get those benefits throughout our suspension travel. Whereas our jounce bumper from the factory really only applies once our suspension has bottomed out to give us that support right at that last little bit of travel.Once you hit the jounce bumper on your factory suspension, you've basically exhausted the travel of your suspension, and it gets really stiff at that point once you're down on that jounce bumper. more

Speaker 1: Today in our 2011 Ford F53 Chassis we're gonna be installing SuperSprings SumoSpring Rebel Custom Helper Springs for the front axle, part number SSF-173-40-2. These SumoSprings are gonna increase ride quality by making it softer when going over bumps. They're also gonna help reduce sway on uneven pavement by leveling out that load, and also keeping it more level under a heavier load. It'll help distribute that weight evenly between one side and the other. As the spring compresses, it'll dynamically push back, helping push that weight onto the other side.What this means to you is it's gonna help reduce driver fatigue, because when you're going down the road hitting those bumps, it's not gonna cause that steering to go veering in one direction as hard as it used to. It's gonna help make it easier for you to keep it going in a straight line. more
