My timbren helper springs came in the mail today




When I picked the box up I was surprised by how heavy it was!

The knive is there for scale, these things are manly



I might able to install these today, idk though cuz it's really raining

 

They use air or what?

 

No it's just a big rubber spring!

I got them specifically because they don't have air. They are hollow

You just unbolt your old bump stops (I had broke both mine off anyway) and bolt these to bracket and bolt it right to the truck. No drilling or anything.

Supposedly they have a 6000lb weight rating

 

Ive have a set. On for about 4-5 months now. They help A LOT!! I didnt use the spacer though, just the "spring".

 

I'm not gonna use the spacer. My springs are sagging a little because I have like 3 mm of space between them and the axle. Just went out and fitted them. I have a little wood in the bed but only a couple pieces of scrap.

I don't guess it should matter

Here it is preassembled, ready to bolt in






BTW what do you guys think of the workbench we put in last Friday?

 

Cool. Good to know. I suppose if I towed they might help.

Remember, before/after pictures.

 

I know dhvaughan has them and likes them a lot.

 

Here's the driver side installed



Gotta go get a drill bit to remove a broken bolt on the other side. Otherwise I'd already be done. Install is really simple

 

Here's the other side installed. Not sure why the passenger side has more clearance than the drivers



Goin for a test drive now

 

Your drivers side spring is sagged more than the passenger side, that's why.

Looks good.
