Anyone who has a flip kit use the Timbren?

Not interested in air bags. Would consider installing Timbren for when I occasionally load the bed.

Really don’t think you will have the clearance for the Timbren set.

How much clearance do you have between axle tube and bottom of bumpstop

I tried these on my 2021 F150, regretted the installation within five minutes. Basically you now have these bumpstops about 1 inch from the axle as opposed to about 5 inches from stock. Every road bump, rainwater dip, slight loading while driving is expressed with a quick rebound from the back end of the truck. Horrible ride and I mean noticeable horrible. Granted they will help with a heavy load, but even my wife stated - what is wrong with your truck! Took them off and threw them away. Installed Firestone airbags (professionally done) ... only when loaded do you notice a ride difference. That was my experience.

^^^ Some darn good points.

Personally, I have SumoSprings. I can swap them out with the factory bump-stops in about 15 minutes. Sumo is much more progressive than Timbren.

I don’t tow a trailer often enough to use air bags or any other devices

Hmm, yea I have a ~5" flip and looking for something to help when I occasionally have the rear loaded. Hoping to steer clear of air bags.

You might try calling them and speaking with them directly and see if they have something. The kit they have listed for a 2024 Powerboost only has 1.5” before the rubber spring contacts the pad. I don’t see how that could possibly work at all.

How much clearance do you have between your axle housing tube and your bump stop currently?

You'd need low profile Timbrens, otherwise you'll just be sitting on top of them the entire drive.
