Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2016 Ram 1500- Video
Hi there Ram owners today in your 2016 Ram, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Timbren suspension enhancement system. Before we begin our installation, we're going to take some baseline measurements so we can see the difference of how our truck is going to perform when it's loaded, without any suspension enhancements and with it loaded with our new Timbren suspension enhancement. So currently, we've got it unloaded so we can get a baseline of what it's completely stock. And we're at about 39 and a half inches right now. And here in the front, we're sitting at right at about 38 and three quarter. We're now going to take about a 1000 pounds of water, and we're going to place it in the back of the truck and recheck our measurements to see what it's like loaded up. more

Air Lift Air Helper Springs Installation - 2016 Ram 1500- Video
Today, we're going to be taking a look at the Air Lift 1000 air helper springs for our rear coil springs. Now, before we install our air bags, what we're going to do is take a few measurements with the truck unloaded. That way, we know how high it's sitting. And after we put some weight in the bed of our truck with our air bags installed, we're going to know how much to inflate them to achieve that same factory ride height. From the ground to the edge of our wheel well, that's right at 36 inches. And here at the rear from the ground to the edge of the wheel well, it's about 38 and a half inches.Now, we went ahead and put a considerable amount of weight in the bed of our truck. more

Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs Installation - 2016 Ram 1500- Video
Speaker 1: Today on our 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 we're going to be taking a look at, and showing you how to install the AirLift LoadLifter 5000 air springs for the rear axle, part number AL57365.These bags are going to have a load leveling capacity of 5000 pounds, helping your vehicle drive more like stock when loaded by reducing sway and absorbing load shock. They're also going to have a capacity of 5 to 100 PSI. These bags also allow you to increase or decrease air in each bag separately for uneven loads.As you can see here, we have about 1500 pounds loaded in the back of our truck. Now, this is on the stock suspension. You can see it lowered us almost four inches. What this is going to do is this is going to put a lot of unnecessary wear and tear on your suspension, but also unnecessary wear and tear on your tires. more

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2016 Ram 1500 TDR1500DQ- Video
Robert C.: Today on our 2016 RAM 1500, we're going to be taking a look at and installing the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part number TDR1500DQ. Now these springs are going to be great for when you're hauling heavy loads. It's going to take some of the sag out of the vehicle, but at the same time, when you're not hauling anything, it'll still ride smooth, just like from the factory. You can definitely see the size difference between our factory spring and our new Timbren spring. The main difference of how it's going to work is that this is going to come in contact with the axle whenever you have a heavy load. What that is going to do is provide a cushion and act as a shock absorber, and actually get more rigid with the more weight you have. Whereas the factory bump stop is really just there so that the frame doesn't make contact. Now the left and right spring are going to work independently from each other, helping out with swing, body roll, and in case of a sharp maneuver if you have to swerve to get out of the way. In conclusion, these springs are going to become an active part of your suspension, and they're going to help reduce the wear and tear over time. Now before we begin our installation, I want to get a few measurements. The truck unloaded factory height is going to be just a little bit over 39" right here at the top of the wheel well. more
