If that isn't the H.D. unit, I think you need it. There is a big Timbren rubber, it looks like two round ones fused together, kind of oblong. Email these pictures to your Timbren seller and ask them, they will help.

They have all sizes and loads, here is a picture of the big oblong one

Apart from how it sits, what is the ride like with the Monty hooked up? Does the rear suspension feel "soft" or "floaty" with the Timbrens installed? Should feel pretty nice and firm, but they won't help much with the initial sag I guess until the suspension settles onto the rubber spring.
Personally, I prefer airbags for the adjustability and ability to maintain proper height. Plus, with the air down to 10 psi I get a pretty decent ride quality empty without the spring rate spiking when the Timbrens are compressed. However, I also don't have stock springs (more progressive rate/no overload leaf) so the airbags are a real necessity.
I know lots of folks like the Timbrens though...don't want to start a debate of airbags vs. Timbrens!

I did take measurements of the truck without the camper and with the camper, measuring from the rear wheel well to the ground. The difference between with and without is only 2 1/4 inches, and the difference on the front wheel well is 1/2 higher with the camper.
So, I guess the trucks suspension with Timbrens is doing what its suppose to do.
Ozz, thanks for the pictures of the other style Timbrens, as you saw, mine are just the round ones.
I think we are going to go down south soon, so I'll see how we look on a flat road somewhere.
KingDaddy, the ride seems to be just fine, no bouncing, nice and firm. Airbags would have probably been the best way to go, but I didn't want to be fussing with them all the time. But I did learn that they have units now that run my remote control, that would have been nice, but I'm sure expensive too.
