Hi there Ram owners today in your 2016 Ram, we're going to be taking a look at and showing you how to install Timbren suspension enhancement system. Before we begin our installation, we're going to take some baseline measurements so we can see the difference of how our truck is going to perform when it's loaded, without any suspension enhancements and with it loaded with our new Timbren suspension enhancement. So currently, we've got it unloaded so we can get a baseline of what it's completely stock. And we're at about 39 and a half inches right now. And here in the front, we're sitting at right at about 38 and three quarter. We're now going to take about a 1000 pounds of water, and we're going to place it in the back of the truck and recheck our measurements to see what it's like loaded up.

So, you can already tell here that we are sagging quite a bit from the 39 and a half we we're at before, we're down four and a half inches to 35 here in the back.And the front we've lifted up about a full inch from 38 and three quarter to about 39 and a half. Hauling a heavy load with your suspension loaded up like we are now, it's going to drastically decrease your breaking and handling performance. Having the back end dip down is going to change how the weight distributes to your front wheels for braking. It's also going to change the surface area of your tires and their contact to the road because the geometry of your suspension is going to be different than what it would be, if you're at normal ride height. Additionally, your visibility at night is going to be decreased because our headlights are not pointing up towards the sky rather than down at the road, by lifting up the back and returning our ride height to normal, we can restore a lot of that loss performance.Once we put Timbrens in, I drastically expect that we're going to be significantly higher in the back than what we are without any suspension enhancements.

We've now got it all loaded up, we took our baseline measurements, we're now going to see how it actually performs with all this weight in it. So, we're going to hit our test course we're going to start with the uneven bumps section first. This is going to be a rocking back and forth side to side. And I'll tell you surprisingly right now, the truck feels fairly smooth. Riding over these bumps.

You can definitely feel that the weight in the back is tipping us down. I mean, I can see the hood is lifted up in everything, but it is surprisingly smooth. So, we're going over the bumps fairly decently here, and we're headed into the even bump section now. This is where we're going to mimic going into a parking lot with a speed bump.Previously, the uneven was more for potholes and here we can feel the forward and back movement, but again surprisingly the suspension is very smooth, but where I expect to see some major issues here is when we head into the slalom where we're going to mimic evasive maneuvers, and that's where we're heading next. And with all this weight back in there with our suspension loaded out, I imagine we're not going to be handling these turns the way that we hope our vehicle would.

So, we're getting ready to head into the slalom section now and see how she feels. Oh yeah, you can definitely feel the weight throwing it around, but the suspension is surprisingly smooth. It feels good in the truck, but it definitely does not feel you would want to perform any evasive maneuvers with this weight in there.I'm going to swing it back around and we're going to do it again here a little bit, but I'm not going to go too crazy with it, because you can really feel the backend, want to kind of pull the truck due to all that weight. With our Timbrens installed, we've placed the weight back in the back of our truck and we're going to recheck our measurements. Now in the back, we're only dropping down about an inch and three quarter to just over 37 and a half inches. So, that's a significant improvement over our stock ride that was four and a half inches down. So, it's already going to ride a whole lot better and we're going to restore a lot of that performance that we we're losing before. So here in the front, we're up about a half inch to three quarters of an inch.So that's significantly less of a rise in the front that we had from not having anything which is going to bring our headlights back down and help greatly improve our visibility at night. So now we've got our Timbrens in and we're loaded up, we're going to go ahead and hit the test course again. And I can already tell you right off the bat, you can notice a huge difference just sitting in t
