Timbren rear suspension system ??

   / Timbren rear suspension system ?? #44  
Back to trucks and springs and such....I went with the factory rear air leveling system on my 2016 Ram 2500. I tow a lot and I like the fact that my truck maintains it's level loaded or not without any input from me. Also, I can back up to my trailer using the camera, press a button and lower the ball about 1.5", get under the coupler, press the button and raise back up and the amount of jacking/lowering to get coupled is reduced greatly. That's perhaps an unintended side benefit.

This is a factory order type of deal though, and not available to install later. But if you are in the market for a new truck, it's a good box to check.

Dave,you are correct on the Ram air level system pretty darn slick setup IMHO.We do not tow enough to justify the $$ when I ordered my 2016 Ram 2500.If I towed a lot it would be a top priority.

if you do not mind giving up some bed space, the other thing we have installed into both our 2015 3500 and 2016 2500 is the Transfer Flow toolbox and fuel tank combo. 40 gallons extra fuel is sure great if you do long trips, or even short trips if you are pulling heavy. When I haul any direction but south, I have to cross a mountain range. With a loaded gooseneck trailer with a tractor or two on it, fuel mileage going over the Sierra Nevada range is dismal. But with 70 gallons, even if you are pulling hard you have good range. And empty, I ran from Kalispell to Red Bluff and still had 1/3 tank. That's 950 miles.

Just trying to help you spend your money!

Just out of curiosity, what's the cost of this option? Always been a Ford guy, but Ram is making some **** nice looking trucks. Never know what the next one will be.
