anyone install a timbren kit on their h2?
 

I was told this is a good solution for pulling heavy loads and reducing rear end sagging, where as airbags have a 1000 lb capacity this has a 8600 lb capacity. Basically you removed the factory bump stump (which gives 4-6 inches of play) and replace with the timbren kit which only gives 1/2 inch of play. My main concern is that it will give a rough ride but the maufacturer says it wont be effected at all.

Any thoughts?

Yes, on a 1/2 ton truck several years ago. When empty they will beat the crap out of you. Work pretty well when loaded. I certainly would not put them on my H2. Try to find an air lift system. Much better solution.

Do you have the Factory Air Ride suspension?

There is a similar system out there that allows you to put air bags inside of coil springs that guys have had allot of luck with. U just inflate the air bags via shraider valve when hauling a heavy load. Tomp is very familiar with this set up.

"Air Lift 1000"

I have these installed augmenting my coil springs.

I just inflate them with a bicycle-pump when I need to tow a heavy trailer.

I have used Timbrens on vehicles, I don't think people know what you are talking about. They do not affect the ride at all with no load. They are basically a giant bump stop.
