I bought these for my 2018 Chev Silverado 1500 - we are towing around 8000lb and the original suspension was shockingly bad, springy & bouncy... They were very easy to install, and make a huge difference when towing the RV. Practically nil sag, feels firm on the road but allow for a certain amount of suspension movement so that it does not feel solid, and overall a much safer drive. HOWEVER...... when i don't have the trailer/RV attached (which is 90% of the time), there is about a 2inch gap between the Timbrens and the chassis, that are supposed to allow the truck to bounce on its factory suspension before it engages the Timbrens, but more often than not, when you drive on road surfaces that are not super smooth.... the timbrens will slap the chassis with a bit of a thud as the suspension bounces, It's not all the time..... but you get a real solid slap when they do meet. I'm going to give them another season, but I am considering swapping over to the SumoSprings as they are attached top and bottom... no gaps.... no solid slaps .. The Timbrens are excellent value for the money, don't get me wrong, but unless your lugging loads every day, it feels sore on the truck !

Top quality and simple install. I have these on two vehicles now and they do exactly what they are supposed to do.

However, easy to install and well made. Probably worth the money. Time will tell. Only dislike is the thump when not loaded and hitting bumps. Spaced at 1-1/2". All in all, I do like the performance when loaded and can get used to thump unloaded.

First ordered parts and had to wait a week longer then expected , then get notice from carrier stateing order being held for me to come pickup at carrier fascility , instead of shipping to my home . Then when installing bolts give u lowest grade of bolts they can instead of 2 grade 8 bolts . And go to put them on and while tightening them down break in half cause to wimpy , I mean if I pay $ xxx.xx for something at least give quality parts to use instead of junk . Very unhappy and dissatisfied customer

Installed on my 2017 Sierra 1500. Got them to help handle hauling my sled around in the box as well as towing my enclosed trailer and travel trailer. Needed the optional spacer kit as I have a 2.25 readylift block in the rear. Ended up with about 1.4 inch gap unloaded(recommended 0.5 to 1.5 gap). Used the 1 inch spacer included with that spacer kit. Rides like stock when empty and handles fantastic when loaded. More stable in the corners and confidence inspiring over bumps. Pretty much feels like a 2500 when loaded. Well worth the money in my opinion.

I gave it 5-stars on "easy to install" because, if we had read and followed the directions, it would have been. We didn't, so it was a little bit of a pain, but the end result is as expected.

Total time to install was less than 30 min from the time I jacked up the truck to removing the jack. Easy install that makes a major difference with hauling any weight in the truck. No noticeable difference in ride quality until I load up the truck, then the truck handles much better with more stability in turns than with the stock bumpers. Good upgrade for the money spent.

Easy install. The day before they came i sprayed some pb blaster in the opening. 10mm socket for the old ones and 17mm for the timbren. I used hand tools and found its easier to take a tire off by doing that you dont have to lay on the ground. Took maybe 25min . Towing and 31 foot TT and dont like the whoops in the road. Update put about 300mi hauling the tt bosters & work great definitely a little stiffer while under load. Only time I feel them without load are speed bombs of shitty roads.. body real is much less while I lift alot.. If you have the money for high end air bags thats a better choice. For me, these are install and forget ZERO Maintenance..

I installed these on my 2011 Silverado 1500 to help out with the occasional towing job and I couldn't be more impressed with the results! Install took maybe a half hour tops after spraying some penetrating oil on the bolts on the stock bump stops. Towed a 4300LB mini excavator plus the weight of the trailer (see attached picture) and the Timbrens performed like a dream. Thanks for a great reliable product!

I bought these to limit the sag and bounce from my 2015 Sierra 1500 when towing my 28' travel trailer. They work great and still provide a comfortable ride when not loaded and more stability when towing. The truck rides a little more stiff when unloaded but barely noticeable. The only time I notice a rougher ride is when driving slow over larger bumps but not nearing bad enough for me to even downgrade it to 4 stars. I would definitely buy these again and I am so glad I bought these instead of airbags.
