Timbrens Ses

Kodiak450 · October 22, 2009

Just had them installed today on my truck and they work really good! When I got home I kooked up my Western Pro Plus 8' plow and noticed my front end only drops 1/2" as oppossed to 2" with the stock bumps. I then took a drive up the road which has dips in it and I would sometimes bottom out depending on how fast I was dribinf with the oem stop bumps, and no longer does this happen for me.

If you do not have Timbren SES on your truck in the front end, I would recommend getting a pair and install them. Even though a 2500 and up can handle a 8' plow, you can still bottom out with the added extra weight of the plow. If you plow with a 1500 and use a 7.6 plow, I would definately recommend them for that truck as well. They also help prolong the springs and handle 1000lbs of weight according to the manufacturer. They also make timbrens for the rear, but I don't need them in the rear cause I added an extra HD Spring last winter.

Some people claim their ride quality is more stiff after installing them, but it all feels the sane to me imo. I like a stiff suspension anyways.

I paid $194.72 online with free shipping last week. Very easy install if you have a lift, but could be done with a floor jack.

About Timbrens....

They prevent Spring sag and bottoming out. Depending on your trucks suspension up front and size plow you are using, after you hook up your plow then lift it, your truck will sag from the weight of the plow. Mine dropped 2" - 2 1/2" with stock bumps. After swapping stock bumps and installing the timbrens, it now only drops a 1/2" when plow is lifted. Also with stock set up, I would sometimes bottom out if there were any dips in the road "depending on how fast I was traveling". Usually I often found myself having to drive much slower then normal. Now with having timbrens I can drive the speed limit and I no longer bottom out.
