No problem. If you already have 1" gap do you still feel them engaging when unloaded?

I put the SES on and when unloaded I have not been able to tell any real difference. I had airbags on my previous ram 3500 and removed them when I had moved to WI. While there I moved to my current truck and added the SES before moving. The pics show the space as unloaded and then when loaded. I pull a 28ft PJ when we move loaded with the wife’s suv and some basic stuff to cover us until the house hold goods arrive. I suppose they are the regular size as I just ordered them from a website. Anyways hope this helps.

I am not able to get the measurements right now from my truck, but I did confirm from my receipt the other info.

I purchased them from etrailer and the part/ model number from it shows TFR350SDJ.

According to their questions and answers portion for this part, one of their replies mentioned measurements of 8 1/2 in wide and 10 1/2 in tall by 6 in diameter. This response was addressing a question about a 17 F350 as the rear sits higher the owner was wanting to know if spacers were required.

I made the same change to shorter springs. With my set up below, and a 3l pin weight, my truck is about level. Very noticeable empty ride improvement.

So I believe the shorter springs timbrens r sending us for the f350 kit we already bought are the springs that come in the f250 kit..it is about 3/4inch shorter

I switched to the shorter rubbers this weekend. It made a very noticeable improvement in the unloaded ride. I knew when I originally installed that the gap was way shorter than they said it would be, but tried them for a year. I also think that this will improve the loaded stance, as my camper was still slightly nose high with the taller rubbers. I like the timbrens so far, very stable ride when loaded.

I installed a set of Timbren’s on my F550 today. It would squat quite a bit while towing before. Now it sits on the Timbren’s all the time empty or loaded. I get less bounce when empty now and it hardly settles at all when I load it. I’m pleased with them.

Mind you, this is a wrecker, so when I am towing the weight is being picked about 4-6’ behind the rear axle.

I attached a photo comparing it to the factory bump stop.

Just got the new rubber springs from timbrens..they r 3/4 shorter like everyone has mentioned but it's also skinnier ..hopefully that doesn't affect the weight carry capability..I've installed them so I'll see how the truck sits n rides w the 5th wheel on...worst case I'll put the old bigger ones back on

I had planned to do the same if the replacements didn't work. They are easy enough to replace within 10 minutes. The ride unloaded is much better and the ride loaded is better than without. I never pulled the 5th wheel with the larger ones, so have nothing to compare them against. Might try one day just to compare the two.

Take them over bags any day (I ran both). Thats about 2900 on the pin. Zero noticeable change in ride while unloaded....unless you hit something really hard.
