Air Lift LoadLifter Air Helper Springs Installation - 2017 Ram 1500- Video
Hello, neighbors. It's Brad here at etrailer. And today, we're taking a look at the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 rear helper springs on a 2017 Ram 1500. Truck suspension is generally set up to handle pretty heavy loads, whether you be towing or having payload in the bed. Now, sometimes that suspension squats down, and that's gonna cause some really not favorable conditions when driving, which can mean either bad steering or a lack of steering feel, reduced braking, and overall wear on the suspension components of the vehicle. And partly, that's because the vehicle squats down, the front picks up, and you do lose that traction on the front, and it's just overworking the suspension generally on the rear. more

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2017 Ram 1500- Video
Speaker 1: Today on this 2017 Ram 1500, we're going to review and install the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system, part number TDRTT1500.This is what the Aeon Timbren spring looks like when it's installed in our truck. Now you can see it fits into a factory fitting right here, and it's almost an instant upgrade to your truck.Now sitting on here you'll notice that it has a gap right here. The idea here is that when you're driving down a road with an unloaded truck, you can travel freely before it hits the spring here. Then when you do load your truck up, then the spring starts to work as needed.Now everybody knows that 1500-series trucks ride great going down the road; however, everybody else knows is that when you're loading your truck and you want to use your truck like a truck, a lot of time the truck is going to sag down the back and it's going to affect performance and handling. So this way it's a good easy way to improve that.So when you use your truck like a truck, what's going to happen is this is going to make contact here. It's not going to keep it at the same ride height, but when you have it fully-loaded, your truck is going to handle it a lot better than without any help at all.A couple key points about our spring here is that it's made out of complete rubber construction, but not just some rubber block that's here, it's actually designed, into a design of it how to bellow here, how the shape of it kind of goes in, gets wide, get narrow again. more

These are going to work independently for off center loads, and it's going to help reduce the risk of your vehicle bottoming out.With these factory ones, they're kind of soft. So if you put a heavy load on them what tends to happen, is these will squish up inside of the cup and then you have metal on metal contact. more
