Default Timbren suspension kit for my Tundra

I am looking at purchasing Timbren suspension rubber pads for my 2007 tundra Crew Max.
I just bought a 33 ft. toy hauler and when I hooked it up, the back end felt it!

Anyone have any experience in using the Timbren kit?

Look in the 2nd Gen Tacoma thread. I have a recent tread there on rear spring TSB.

I am having the same problem with a 2009 Tacoma and got some good suggestions and photo links of some Timbren installations.

I am getting a TSB done on my rear springs and then I will put Timbrens on myself.

They look like a good solution for my hauling problems ... which are a lighter duty version of your hauling problems.

Update ... here is the link ... "Heavier Duty" - Rear Springs & Suspension ??
link to "Heavier Duty Rear Springs" thread ...

First, I have no exp with the timbren, so I'll put my 2cents in in other towing issues,

33 ft toyhauler, hope you are using a Weight dist hitch system. You are probably 6-7k empty.

I am using a WD on mine and I use the firestone air bags. The air sys lets you fine tune ride height when you put your firewood in the bed.

hope someone can answer on the Timbren.

I have my 2007 RCSB 4X4 set up with the Timbren springs. I am very well satisfied with them. I pull a KZ 24 Sportster, 6400 lb dry, 4 wheeler, pull behind mower, 110 gallons of water and 20 gallons of gas, plus all the other stuff you pack in. With an equalizer brand weight distribution hitch, properly adjusted, the truck sets level. I did have to call Timbren for spacers to obtain the correct unloaded spacing. They shipped them out at no charge and I had them in 3 or 4 days. They work great when hauling firewood, lumber, etc. You don’t know there installed when you are not loaded. What I like best is not fooling with an air source as I have done in the past with air shocks on other vehicles.

How much sag are you experiencing? You will some if you are loading a lot on the tongue.
I don't know why you would be carrying loads of firewood as suggested.
