It might help if you tell folks what you will be using them on.

We have an older F-150 for our TV. The trailer a 7,000# fifth wheel and we use
Timbrens. No issues at all. Very stable, easy to install and remove.

Great to hear they seem simple and durable I have just had never seen these before I like simple and the fact that should not really effect ride quality until truck is loaded.

I've used Timbrens and Aircells. I prefer the Aircell. It's seems slightly softer but still keeps the rear solid. Easier to change out the spacers if needed.

I put Timbrens on our 2014 Silverado 1500. The ones I bought were 8600 pound rated. Way too harsh. I called them and got 5400 pound ones. Much better and great customer service. Jay

Suspension mods are fine, but don't fool yourself into thinking they increase any ratings, nor are they a replacement for proper towing equipment, especially a weight-distributing hitch. But again, these and airbags are often nice SUPPLEMENTS.

Reporting back after the summer trips, in my opinion these are a great value.
Installing is quick, no maintenance, create a no sag ride, around town original ride quality.
Works for me.
