Timbren SES pickup rear suspension?

[lost]

Has anyone used the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System on their pickups? http://timbren.com/ses-kits.htm
Don't want to do airbags and looking at this system.
Any insight or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Not personally but we use them on the fronts of our 1/2 ton pickups that have snowplows. I haven't asked how the trucks ride without the blades.

My guess is the ride will be firmer all the time vs airbags which can be run at lower pressure or no pressure when not needed?

On the rear axle though, I'm not sure if the stock bumpstops touch the axle or not when the truck is not loaded. I suppose if the stops dont touch when truck is empty, and they have freeplay before the axle hits them, that the ride over small bumps would stay the same. Of course, if that were true, then you'd have a little more sack in suspension when loaded vs if the blocks were already in contact with axle from the start?

Anyone else that may have some information on this kit for me?

Had them on 06 chev 1/2 ton. Leave some room for stock suspension to work or you will have a very bouncy ride. They work great for trailering etc.

I have a old beater 96 gmc I use for sledding(wife wont let me use the new dodge) and I put a set in and it seems good with a deck and two sleds on.

I put them on my 11 F150 work truck. They come with a couple spacer options to allow more stock suspension action or allow them to contact quicker.
My truck the springs are already sacked out so it rides on the timbrens 100% of the time with only about 500 PBS in the bed. The ride like that is not any stiffer than a 3/4 ton IMO.
I've loaded tongue weight heavy on that truck, like 14 k lb tag trailers and the Timbrens keep the @ss end up nicely.
IMO they are a cheap easy effective alternative to bags or adding leafs.

Thanks for the information.
My springs seem to be fine, it's just that I would like to get rid of the rear sag when I hook my trailer up to the pickup and keep the pickup and trailer level. Can't use an equailizer system so I looking for the next best option. The airbag option would be an additional $100+ over the Timbren and that is just the basic kit w/o the air compressor kit. Usually just pulling a trailer in the winter time sledding.

Have them on our dodge 2500. Basically put them on for when we haul our 9 1/2 ft. artic fox camper. To me it helps with the stability of the pickup and keeps it fairly well leveled out. When the pickup is unloaded it rides the same as it did before the timbren overloads were installed. Plus they were extremely easy to install, 15 to 20 minutes. Amazon had a fairly good deal on them. Good Luck
