Timbren SES

All I know is that Timbren is highly recommended for the front end on trucks doing snowplow duty, esp the 1/2 ton trucks.
I would guess their components for the rear are equally high quality.

I have them in my 2000 GMC 1/2 tone with a deckand 2 sleds no sage at all verry happy with them
good to hear. ordered a set for the rear of the 07 dmax, to help offset the sledeck. anyone else care to chime in?
Had a 98 and 2000 chev 1/2t p/u with them. Definetly worth it! Might sag a little but nothing like stock. Excellent product.
i plan on putting them on the one ton for next year. (for the camper not the deck!) i like the fact of install them and forget it...also dosent change the factory ride empty..
Do you think these are better than airbags? Or are airbags the way to go with a sleddeck?
if you are looking for lift, go with the air bags. much more expensive and time consuming...(air compressor-checking pressure-fixing any leaks-replacing a broke bag-onboard controler?)
if you want to maintain a level ride and just add extra support under a load go with timbrens.
not sure if the truck in in your sig is a 1500 or 2500 but any leveled load does not mean the truck can safely support it....leveling a load just helps in weight transfer and handling....im sure eveyone knows this, its just a freindly reminder!
good luck with whatever you choose

i found a really good deal on these and opted for the convenience of install and forget about them. have friends with airbags that blow out bags, leak air, and require constant attention, not to mention the added expense. i paid $159, shipped, for something thats supposed to install in under an hour with basic tools. thought i would recieve them today, but they havent made it yet. when the deck gets loaded, or i pull the trailer, i will update my opinion as i put them through the test. i think if they perform half as good as they claim, i am ahead of the game.

Where did u find the timbrens for that price at?
dave smith motors, supposedly. havent been delivered yet. ordered over a week ago, supposed to come out of california, frenso, i think. didnt expect it to take so long to ship.
Snowdad I will be very interested in your opinion on the Timbrens.
My truck is a 2500HD DuraMax. I got my deck on yesterday and I will see how it is with a couple of sleds in a week or two.

Timbren ses
I just bought a 2009 hd2500 Chevy, Put a lift on it and then dropped my rat pack toolbox in the bed...........down she went. I decided to try Timbren ses and installed last Monday, I put the spacer on when I installed, and that mad me sick when I was driving down the road, so I dropped the spacer, and WOW! Good ride, leveled with 700 pounds in the bed, and I paid $195 shipped instead of $$$ for airbags.
