Timbrens it is....just make sure that when empty you have an inch or so of clearence between the Timbren and the axle. Unless you like a kick in the butt everytime you go over a pothole....When loaded, they're fine.

I have Timbrens plus a 5 pack overload springs that come into contact at the same time as the Timbrens - perfect for my set up (10-4 slide in camper).

Check your weight per axle also - might have to upgrade your tires. If you're experiencing lots of up and downs, might want to get a set of Rancho's too.

I don't think it has much to do with ULSD. That's all we've had around here for the last 6 months and prices have still gone up over that time period. The cheapest I've found in my area is $3.15.

I am running Timbrens... the first I got from trucksprings.com were too long... hit the axle without the spacer... called the folks at Timbren directly and they sent me a shorter set of "rubbers" free.. postage and all..

txdodge97,
Here is a thread at TDR I got into about a spring pack I've had on my old 2000 3500, really worked nice. Crazy Horse's Overload Spring Pack.

I did just that! I called timbren and explained how my overloads weren't coming into contact enough. I told them how I was pleased with the lift they gave me,thats one of the things I was looking for. But I thought the ones I had may have been to stout and long that was with out the spacer. They said if there not working for you they will send out a shorter pair for free, no cost and free shipping! I said I wasn't complaining just saying maybe I should get a shorter rubber if you had them. They said no problem a new set was on the way. I told them I would send my other set back but they insisted I keep them. Wow! what great people.
