All of the suspension enhancement products that we carry are designed for use on vehicles with suspension in good working order. If your vehicle's suspension is already to the point where is sags consistently, I recommend having the vehicle's suspension inspected to ensure that it is still safe.
If a qualified mechanic determines that the suspension needs replaced, I recommend adding suspension enhancement after the suspension has been replaced. This will help extend the life of the suspension... view full answer...
Both an air bag system and a Timbren system are meant to enhance the performance of your existing vehicle suspension. Either system is meant to be used in conjunction with other components of your suspension system, but are not intended to be a stand alone replacement of your existing suspension.

I have contacted Timbren and for the specific rear suspension kit that you referenced that # TOTTUN4, you will need approximately 6-1/4 inches of clearance between the frame and the leaf spring on your modified 2003 Toyota Tundra vehicle suspension.
I did pull a set of Timbrens from the warehouse and the measurement from the top of the leaf spring to the the top of the Timbren spring is 5-1/8 inches, and if you add approximately 1 inch like you have indicated that will give you approximately... view full answer...
I do have an airbag suspension enhancement setup for your 1987 Toyota Land Cruiser's rear axle but I would strongly recommend replacing both front and rear leaf springs first. The leaf springs are a critical part of your vehicle's suspension and without them working properly you run the risk of further damage to other suspension components. Our suspension enhancement kits are designed to aid the factory suspension not substitute or replace components.

The suspension enhancement kits we offer for your 2011 Toyota Sienna like the Timbren part # TTORSEN04 and the SumoSprings # CSS-1195R (as well as the other options) are not designed to give your vehicle a suspension lift. They will greatly reduce sag when the vehicle has the weight of a trailer on it, but they will not lift the suspension as it sits without a load on it. view full answer...
The Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs, part # F2071 is designed to help your vehicle when it is carrying heavy loads.
This system installs between your suspension and the vehicle frame and will not increase the load-carrying capacity of your vehicle.

Since it is installed with both upper and lower brackets... view full answer...
For your 2011 Chevrolet Avalanche. I recommend the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TGMRYS4.
The Timbren system will sit above the rear axle of your Avalanche and help stabilize and level your vehicle when under a towing load or hauling in your vehicle's bed. The Aeon springs become more rigid as more weight is added allowing your Avalanche's body to ride at a more level position.
Note: Using a suspension enhancement system like the Timbren system will not increase your vehicle's... view full answer...
Suspension enhancement kits provide additional support which helps the suspension of the vehicle but they do not increase the weight capacity of the vehicle since the capacity of a vehicle is more than just the suspension capacity. So what the kits like the Air Lift # AL59570 are designed to do is give you the ability to tow in a safer and more level way within the capacities of the vehicle.
I attached an install video for this kit on a similar 2016 Ford F-150 for you to check out as well. view full answer...

The suspension enhancement we offer for your 2000 Ford F53 are designed to be installed between the axle and the vehicle frame.

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, # TGMRCK15S, will help stabilize the vehicle, absorb shock and help keep the vehicle level when pulling your 25 ft toy hauler, but should not be used to replace an anti-sway bar on your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 5.3L.

The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TJRL4 you referenced is not designed to increase the tow weight capacity on your 2003 Jeep Liberty. There are many elements that determine the towing capacity of a given vehicle. The engine, transmission, suspension, and overall structural rigidity of the vehicle should be taken into account. The capacity is dictated by whatever the lowest rated component is. Increasing the load bearing capacity of the suspension (which the Timbrens... view full answer...
We do carry a variety of suspension enhancements such as air bags for your 2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD but all of which are designed to reduce vehicle sag and aid the wear life of current suspension components. None of our suspension enhancements are designed to increase the towing capacity of your vehicle. According to Nada Guides, the max towing capacity of your truck is 10,500 lbs. Therefore, I cannot recommend you use this vehicle for towing a 15,500 lb. 5th wheel trailer.

The Timbren kits like the # TTORTUN4L that you referenced do not raise the suspension of the vehicles they install on. They only reduce sag when the vehicle has weight on it from either a trailer tongue or cargo. There will be about 1.5 inches of suspension movement before the Timbren contacts the vehicle frame/axle so that the unloaded ride quality isn't affected. This also means when unloaded the height is not changed. view full answer...
Yes, you will have to install 3 spacers of # A25723-90AH00 on each side if you plan to install the Timbren Front Suspension Enhancement System. Each spacer is 1 inch thick and 3 will compensate for the 3 inch lift you have on your 2009 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4X4.
