Has anyone ever used products from Thuren Fabrication. Looks like they have some real nice front springs and a complete leaf pack in the back.

I was thinking of bringing a few sets in as the shipping is crazy.

I have Dons kit in my 2016 Ram 3500. Front springs, track bar, and King 2.5 shocks tuned for my use all around. Top quality product for sure, and an amazing ride even with stock rear leafs. I will likely install the rear spring pack later this year to help.

I’ve been wanting a kit, but was hoping the dollar and exchange got better one day!

They emailed me back and said that they would discount on a bigger order. They also said that you need to use there shocks with the set up, along with their track bar.

I told them to put together a sweet package, so we will see what that comes too. Going off there website.... its alot. $2110 US.

We have to wait and see what they say.

Well glad this thread spurred me to do something.

I replaced the factory rear leafs on my 2015 f350 with 3600lb springs, factory was 2700lb.
(City spring $400 per side)

Wow does it ever ride better.
Should have done this from new.
Doesn't bounce off overloads at all.

I would definitely recommend lookin into something like this if you are in a 3/4 running air bags.

In my head
Plus I see Bilsteins and the SumoSprings. Did all of that to my 09 and liked it much better as well. Good to go!

Look like some stiff springs though. How much does the tail end hop over bumps?

I was prepared for it to be worse but it's actually way better than stock.

If you look the bottom overload isn't engaged yet, and the top is a long ways from being engaged.

On the factory ones the bottom was always engaged all the time and the top would engage on most bumps.
The summo springs really helped with that. (Now the summo spring don't even come into play.)

Disclaimer, I have a deck and a empty 400l slip tank in the box.
