Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2005 GMC Sierra- Video

Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System Installation - 2005 GMC Sierra

Rob: Rob here at etrailer.com and today you will be taking a look at the Timbren rear suspension enhancement system on our 2005 GMC Sierra. Now, a big reason why you might want a suspension enhancement system on your Sierra is because if you tow a trailer a lot, you'll notice that the back-end start to squat down. Well, not only is it putting a lot of stress and strain on the rear suspension, but it's also affecting the front with the back-end going down the front-end is going to get stretched upward. Which means we're going to have less contact on our tires, which means our braking and steering is going to be diminished. Not to mention that our headlights are going to be pointing up. We'll potentially be blinding people when we're driving down the road. more
