My F350 SRW is squatting a little

[Ted]

I have a Voltage 3200 and when hooked up with air glide hitch it squats my truck. Has anyone added a extra spring to their truck to help? My truck is a new 2016 HD 4x4 F350 with camper package.

Check out "Torklift Stableloads." That's what I use. Easy to install.

Thank you

Hi Ted, I have a 16 F-350 with a GVWR of 11500, with the 3605 hitched up I'm still a little nose high. Do you not have the overload springs? It sits just above the main spring assembly. I wish mine would sag a little more. With the camper package I'm almost sure you would have the overloads, I assumed all 350's would have them? I have a slightly used set of airbags that I had on my 12 F250...I'd make you a heck of a deal on.

I have the F350 4x4 long bed camper package with the 5th wheel package. Why do you wish it squatted a little more? I may be interested in the air bags... not sure yet. I'm wondering if I have a 5th wheel hitch (Air Ride) that is the wrong size or something... All my hitch weight is 2+ feet back from the center of the B & W hitch.

This may be OBE but I would recommend installing Timbrens. They really helped both sag and ride quality on my Ram 2500. Easy 30 minute install.

Tom I went out and checked thanks for the A & B stamp. I also saw that in the directions. I'll look into Timbrens. Frankly, I don't even know what they are, but will shortly... I sure hope moving these brackets around does some good!

Great Suggestion! Timbrens are also a great help with leveling and ride. Moving the hitch forward with your long bed will improve the ride and Timbrens definitely help the sag without effecting the ride when not hauling. I had great success with Timbrens with my SRW F250. Easy , simple install and no maintenance issues.

This is a pic of my Timbren. As Tom said no effect when unloaded but they take the weight once you hook up. Rated to 6k.

BD thanks for taking the time to take a picture.... I'm going to get my stuff swapped out take it on a test drive and then do something. This looks like something I may want to do. I don't really want to do air bags and have to deal with all that. Going to call B&W tomorrow and see if I can talk to someone other than the janitor...haha

We Timbrens on a lot of our trucks. I like them because they are basically install and forget. Unlike air bags...

Thanks for all the great info. Got the hitch changed around and I'm looking into other options. When I pull unit out of storage and see if the two inches made some difference will look at other. Once again, thanks for everyone's input!

March 10 th... Hooked up the unit...The tork lift uppers and moving the hitch forward was the trick.... Things look great. Thanks to everyone's advice on this. The truck is a little stiffer without the unit on it but is great when it is loaded.... Have a great one!
