That's what I get for jumping in on pg 2. My bad and as usual, not paying attention.

I pull a goose neck trailer once in a while and they would have helped in this application but most of the time I pull the RV with the hitch. They are being returned. I lose $20.00 on shipping but at least it's not all lost.

I do not know about the Timbrens, but the Sumo Super Spring coil inserts do not impact the use of a WDH. I think that they are less "aggressive" than Timbrens. They are just a simple "rubber product" insert that engages under load. They are not beefy enough to impact the WDH's effectiveness. I have them on the front and rear with absolutely no problems. The Firestone Work-Rites are a nice helper, too. Neither product impacts normal/unloaded ride, still as factory. They are there when I need them, under load, just enough to reduce sag and improve stability when loaded (never beyond TV's ratings and capacities). I actually stay well-under the TV's stated capacity maximums. I use the CAT Scales to keep the weight properly distributed. Love the set up we have!

Any company has a sales pitch on the products they sell. I have used Timbrens and air lift systems. Present I use the Air lift 1000 and they do what I expected them todo and am happy with them. On forums at least we here another story than what companies tell us, so we can make informed decisions.
