DR1500DQ Suspension Enhancement System Replace for Timbren Fit for Ram 1500 (2011-2015)

I bought these for my 2020 Ram 1500 4x4. They installed easily and worked great. BUT...out of curiosity I decided to buy the Timbren name brand ones just to compare. The Timbren is the same height, same width, same shape, etc. Dimensionally they are identical. BUT...the Timbren brand uses a totally different rubber. The Timbren is more firm and holds a load much better with more weight carrying capacity. The Rhino Storm knock-off brand sold here by FlyingAMZ is a softer rubber and doesn't carry quite as much weight. So there is a difference in material quality. If you're only hauling light weight or towing a light trailer, save $75 and buy these knock-offs. If you're hauling or towing a larger load I'd suggest the Timbren branded ones.

I work in a truck accessory shop these are almost like the Timbrens matter fact they’re identical easy to install on the half ton Dodge pickup. Put a jack under the bumper or receiver hitch jack it up to where the rear wheels are just touching the ground grab a hold of the factory bump stops and you can pull them out by hand, and then grab your new bump stops spray some glass cleaner on the top of them and put them up into the cup where the old ones came out you may have to push a little bit hard to make them stay there and then put a small piece of 2 x 4 on the axle underneath them and lower the jack down and that presses them into the cup you will have to do one side at a time. It is easier if you just hold the side of the bump stop and then have a friend lower the jack down slowly . if you are not hauling anything extremely heavy this is the answer and when you do not have a load on them you get your regular ride out of your truck

Installed these a couple of weeks ago after reading the good reviews. Installation was very easy on my Ram 1500. Removed the bump stops, added some dishwashing soap to the top of these and popped them into place. Ensured they were seated using 4x4's and lowering the truck on the jack, but don't think that step was necessary. About a 20 minute installation.Definitely noticed a difference with the last two heavy loads I carried. Truck was level under load and firm over bumps, with better steering and braking feel.

I needed to improve the trailer tounge weight capicity on my 2014 Ram 1500 without impacting the comfortable ride, especially when not towing. I first found the 'name brand' version of this product and liked what I read, but the price seemed very high for a couple pieces of hard rubber. I found the FlingAMZ as an alternative and read its reviews. Based on that, I ordered them and saved about 100 bucks compared to the name brand. My cousin was willing to crawl under my pickup after I jacked up the rear end. He easily removed the original bump stops by hand. I sprayed silicon spray on these new ones, handed them to him and he easily installed them. Our bumper pull camp trailer now rests much better when hooked up to the Ram.

These were an inexpensive solution for helping to stop the 2016 Ram 1500 from sagging in the back and raising the front while pulling a trailer. I had used air bags on my old Ram 2500 but had experienced leaks over time, would have to remember to check them, keep a small compressor on hand to adjust them, let air out after disconnecting the trailer, etc. Not to mention how long the airbags took to install.These took all of about 20 minutes to install! I don’t have to check anything extra when I hook up the trailer! I don’t have to let air out when I disconnect the trailer! And about 1/4 the expense! And I haven’t been bright lighted once since I installed them! I call that a win.I can’t feel any difference with the ride when there isn’t a trailer back there but can definitely tell a difference with the trailer. Maybe 1/4 of the squatting I had before. I had some trailers attached that were near max towing capacity too. Still didn’t get bright lighted at night!I don’t know how long it will take to wear them out as I’ve only pulled trailers 6 trips and about 15 hours, but so far the improvement was great.
